Strengthening my personal coaching site
-
Hello,
My domain for my personal coaching site is my name
bobweikel(dot)com
and I think this is weak for all of my keywords, but I'm sticking with it.
What's some of the easiest way I could gain strength with national keywords so that people will pursue phone coaching with me, terms like
nlp coach
wealth and success coach
wealth coach
personal coach
life coach
I know that these are varying greatly in competitiveness.
Thanks!

Hi Bob
Some great advice from the guys already.
Don't be overly concerned about your domain name, exact match domains don't carry as much SEO weight as they used to. Is more important to have a clear, logical URL structure that compliments your content strategy.
As the others have said, focus on creating and distributing fantastic content, that's unique, fresh, topically relevant, interesting, Valuable content and distribute it via all appropriate methods, such as social, universities...
Becoming an Authoritive figure on your topics of speciality is key, try some guest blogging also and participate in relevant forums.
Regards
Simon

I didn't even check how competitive it was, but good point!

I agree with Ressler.... publish something that is so fantastically popular that it is tweeted, liked, blogged, emailed and talked about by everyone on the web.
I think that you will need to do this multiple times to rank at the top of google for some of your keywords.

Write the be all end all resource for each of those topics, citing your sources (as long as they have a high authority level). Don't try sell yourself within the article, just write it about the topic. Then, ask other people in your field to review your resource, and see if they would suggest making any changes. After you have made a couple alterations, ask them if they would link to your resource from their website.
Then, do some "inurl:".edu" life coaching" searches to see if there are any universities talking about the subject. Send an email to a professor in that department asking them to link to your resource.
Don't focus too much on exact keyword match, just get them to link to it.
These deep links will help with your overall domain authority, which puts you at an edge to rank overall.

Do I have to be worried about listing my events on third-party sites with the same content?
Hello everyone, We run classes and we just released our 2014 schedule. I am thinking of manually posting each class on the various event sites on the web (zvents, eventbrite, yelp, etc.) Should I worry about any sort of penalty if the content of these events are exactly the same? Also, some allow links within the description, my plan was to have 1-3 links going back to my product page with varying anchor text. Is there anything I should worry about with this plan? Thanks in advance for any help

Back linking to t foreign sites
One of our major competitors seems to be linking to an Asian speaking website that has a blog/product review formant. I was wondering how they are achieving this. Are there any non English /Asian sites worth submitting to and what is the best way to go about this if English is the only language you speak! And of course is it worth while doing this from an SEO perspective.

Old Site not Passing Along Links?
Recently, we created a new website for a client, and put it on a new domain. We put a 301 redirect site-wide on the old site. The 301 is working correctly, and any visit to the old site is now going to the new one. So, from a functionality standpoint, we're looking good. However, looking at the domain authority of the sites, it doesn't seem that the old links are passing value to the new site. The old site had 43 linking root domains, and a domain authority of 30, compared to the new site with 16 linking root domains and an authority of 22. If I understand correctly, the links should be viewed as pointing to the new site and passing link juice to the new one, correct? Is there a reason why this may be happening that I should be looking into? Any thoughts or advice on this one would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Link value personal pages on .edu
Many .edu colleges and universities provide students and alum a free hosting service. Here's an example: http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~dwilson/homepage.shtml According to SEOmoz bar, the PA=53 and DA=94. What is the banklink value from a page like this? Surely this is not the same as a backlink from www.wisc.edu, is it? Best,

Link building tools/sites
I am looking for a way to share my content in multiple locations to build back links without having to upload one at a time per location. For example- if i write an article and i upload it to ezine articles and then post it over on my blog- it will then post over on my twitter and facebook and linked in. However- how i can also get this article with back links into shared sites, bookmark sites, and other locations online to help build my inbound marketing for back links. I'm trying to find a way to save time while building out the links.
