1st you should have to focus on on-page content its mean you will make a goal of your keywords using to promote on your website, keyword selection is most important & starting point of any new website, select your keywords with 10 competitor analysis, check the keyword competition also, then use keywords wisely on your on-page content.
SEO strategy is also based on your competitor analysis, then it depends on how much juice you will put on it with your team or by yourself actually,
SMO strategy you know that most lucrative path for success in IM. definitely make facebook page, twitter account, google+1, pinterest, tumblr. these are most important for your SMO strategy. new things are picture attraction, Pinterest is used to attraction because now in 2013 image seo is most important, 2nd tool is infographics its very important nowadays & coming arena, mostly people dnt want to read full article, if you have a attractive infographics regarding your product or whatever you want to promote, its a juicy for your website
PPC is also very strong place in it, you will have to make a budget on monthly basis how much you will invest on PPC, then select which tool you want to use, in my opinion most attractive are google adwords & facebook ads,
your internal blog is good for your website updates, news, information, but also work on external blogs, they will also help to boost your ranking in serp

I think you should design your site with the user in mind while making sure that the platform you use is SEO friendly.. The whole purpose of your site will be to attract, retain, and serve site visitors, prospects, clients, etc. Then focus on the SEO of your site which will include titles, headline tags, meta info, internal linking, etc.
You can get a good idea which keywords you should be targeting for your SEO and PPC by examining your competitors. Of course, over time you will identify which keywords are working for you and which ones have value.
I assume your site isn't built on Wordpress since you referred to it as an external blog. You want to focus promotion on your internal blog since this will boost the ranking of your site overall.

THe best way is to have excel spreadsheet put all your links and titles in nested order, so you can track them. Usually Google and Bing Give you about $100 for start which is not bad for starting ppc, also keep in mind some aspects of it services are competitive and you need to invest a lot in your ppc to get result out of it. Please please please Do not go to external blogs especially like Wordpress and comment and think admin will approve you I get about 100 sapm every day and I just delete them, or mark them as spam.I also suggest watching the starting SEO from friday withe board.
Good luck with your new site

# Tag - opacity and SEO impact
Hello,
Technical SEO | | Tiffany_Barn
I have a query animation 'fade-in-up' on my website: tiffanybarnard.com which moves the H1 tag slightly and fades it in from zero opacity to 1. Will this affect the SEO value of the H1 tag?

Schema for Banks and SEO
I'm researching Schema opportunities for a bank, but besides the shema markup available today (like bankorcreditunion) and developments with FIBO, I can find no answer as to the effect of tagging interest rates and such in terms of SERP/CTR performance or visibility. Does anyone have a case study to share or some insight on the matter?

SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together
We are using SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together on a Wordpress website, does anyone have negative experience by using this to plugins together? The main result to use this, is because we could remove the /product/ from the slug. We want clean URL’s and not URL’s that have: website.com/product/PRO1 or website.com/product-catagory/CAT2 (standard Wordpress) But we want: website.com/PRO1 or website.com/CAT2 In Yoast is possible to remove the URL /category/, but not the /product/. With SEO Ultimate’s it is possible. So we use them both. SEO Ultimate’s for the removal of the URL, and Yoast for it’s great functions: Sitemap, no index /page2/, no index media etc. etc. But Yoast gives the following note: ‘’WordPress SEO (Yoast) is known to cause conflicts with SEO Ultimate. Please deactivate WordPress SEO if you wish to continue using SEO Ultimate.’’ I was wondering what this could mean for overal SEO performance. And maybe there is a way to remove the URL’s by using other methods > and remove the SEO Ultimate’s plugin.

Domain redirection and seo implications
We have an existing site that is a subdomain but we recently acquired an exact match domain. Will building links to the exact match domain and having the domain point at our existing subdomain work or should we convert the entire site and redirect our existing subdomain to the new domain? What I'm trying to figure out is how to maximize the benefit here and how the existing mass of links pointing to our existing subdomain (shop.domain.com) can be used. New domain: keywordshop.com Existing URL: shop.domain.com

Anything and everything helps. So far I have run the crawl diagnostics and I'm working on fixing the errors. Thanks fr your help.

External Sitewide Links and SEO
I have one big question about the potential SEO value -- and possibly also dangers? -- of "followed" external sitewide links. Examples of these would be: a link to your site from another site's footer a blogroll link a link to your site from another site's global navigation Aside from the link's position in the HTML file (the higher the better, presumably), are these links essentially the same from an SEO point of view or different (and how)? There used to be an influential view out there that the link juice value of a sitewide link was the same as that of a single link (presumably from the linking site's home page), even though a sitewide link may in fact result a huge number individual links. Is this true or false? What is the math here? Should one worry about having "too many" sitewide links, in the sense that this may raise red flags by way of the algo? I talked to someone a few months ago (before the recent algo updates) who believed that he had got a minus 10 penalty or whatever it was for getting too many sitewide links We offer website design and development as well as SEO, and we put a keyworded link to ourselves in the footer. I think this is a fairly common practice. Is this a good or bad idea SEO-wise? One opinion is that for external sitewide footer links, you should best have a dofollow link on the home page, but nofollow it on all other pages. What is your opinion about that? Is there anything else that is distinct, interesting or important about sitewide links' SEO value and pitfalls? Thank you!
