Finding non-linked brand mentions
-
Hi, i have a client whose brand name is a common phrase used in English, so i'm gI'ming 1000s of alerts of non-linked brand mentions but 98% most of them are not the brand.
Are there any tools which you can apply advanced filters so it can figure out if it's the brand or commonly use phrase?
Cheers

You need one of the robust social media monitoring tools which provide advanced boolean search queries. Many tools only allow 3 boxes (include any of these terms, must include these terms, exclude these terms), and there is no way to imply proximity or use context. The only way to really trim the results to what is relevant is to use boolean logic.
For example, if you were monitoring for amazon, you could exclude:
(amazon AND (jungle OR brazil OR rainforest OR "rain forest")).Or use proximity like:
(amazon NEAR/5 (shopping OR products OR ecommerce OR e-commerce)).Additionally you can look for user intent with phrases like:
("shopping on" OR "buy from" OR "need to shop" OR "research products on") NEAR/3 amazonObviously these examples are just small samples of what can be done. Some queries for common words may end up being 2000 characters long to catch all use cases. But without the ability to create custom boolean queries that include nesting parenthesis, quotes for phrases and proximity operators like NEAR, the other tools won't help.
In a previous job, I wrote a white paper explaining why Boolean is important for social media monitoring and provide some tips on what to look for in a social media monitoring tool: https://www.dragonsearch.com/files/social-media-monitoring-tools-boolean-search-query.pdf
Good luck!

Are These Links Junk?
I hired an SEO to create incoming links to me website insisting that only white hat techniques be used. The SEO was highly recommended by a family friend. In 3 months about 14 links to my site were obtained. The URLs for the domains where the links originate are below. I paid $8,000 for the services of the SEO provider to create the links over 4 months. When I looked at the links more carefully I noticed that the sites did not seem to have owners. That there was no phone number, physical address and scant information about ownership. I also noticed that most pages had outgoing links of a promotional nature. Also, that content created for me had grammatical and occasional spelling errors. The links did not look bad in terms of MOZ domain authority and MOZ page authority, but when I went subscribed to AHREFS a few days ago and evaluated the links, I noticed that the URL rating (somewhat equivalent to MOZ page authority) was really low. Furthermore, noticed that one of the domains solicits paid links from gambling sites. The SEO who sourced the links on my behalf says he will explain why I "have nothing to worry about". Dividing his monthly fee by the number of links and I paid $571 per link. Is it possible the the below domains could have pages that I would want links from? Would these links be potentially worth more than a few hundred dollars? O are these sites more like a cheap PBN or maybe "the hoth". If the links are in fact good I would be delighted. But if they are of poor quality could I legitimately ask for a refund? Also, are these domains so bad that it is imperative for me to get the links removed? <colgroup><col width="198"></colgroup>

First Link on Page Still Only Link on Page?
Bruce Clay and others did some research and found that the first link on the page is the most important and what is accredited as the link. Any other links on the page mean nothing. Is this still true? And in that case, on an ecommerce site with category links in the top navigation (which is high on the code), is it not useful to link to categories in the content of the page? Because the category is already linked to on that page. Thank you, Tyler

XML question - not finding all of the pages
When I run http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ on my site, it doesn't find all of my pages. The pages do not have any no follows in them (I thought that was the original problem). Has this happened to anyone else? What is the solution?

Optimising My Website Link Containers
Hi, I'm looking at my links containers and trying to optimise them. I would be greatful if anyone can give me some feedback on my plan for perfect optimaisation. My links are constructed as follows: I have a two states:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | James77
1/. A Non Hover state which contains an Image and Text
2/. A Hover state which contains a bit more text - I do this as containing full text on the non hover state would not be good for users and would look ugly as well. Here's an example block of the HTML - as you can see from the URL, its quite a deep page level. From the URL and Alt / Titles the Page I am Linking to is about: "The Royal Hotel Accommodation New York Holidays". I Just a bit confused on how I should apply ALT and Title (Titles in particular) attributes given the nested DiV's etc - I can apply these to parent level, or apply all levels, or apply them to a mix. Also is there any obvious thinks you can think of I am missing that may help onsite SEO? Thanks in Advance CURRENT UNOPTIMISED CODE:
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
MY OPTIMISED CODE (Adding Title and Alt attributes):
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
