      You are right but my niche is very competitive. I think that I am going to use google adds and Facebook adds to improve the visits in my website.

      How many time do you think that i need to wait to see results?

      Thanks for all friend.

        Carlos, I agree with the others. If you are trying to get results today, then I would run a PPC campaign. If you can't afford PPC hen I would try to rank for some long tail keywords that have some traffic. Go for the low hanging fruit and as you build your website up you can rank for more competitive keywords later. Depending on your niche, I would also consider social ads. Hope this helps. One month to rank for most keywords isn't realistic but if you are consistently doing it right, you should see some traction sooner in a few months unless its ultra competitive. So go through the back door and look at some long tail keywords.

          Thanks friend! I am going to use Google Ads to improve now, and later, I am going to continue with SEO.

              If you are in a hurry, adwords/ppc is probably your best go to tool. SEO is likely to take too much time.

                Carlos, from my experience its a time consuming process which can take a quite a bit of time, how much time varies as others have mentioned, depending on your industry, target market and a how SEO wise your competitors are. As well as how many and what resources you have available to invest in terms of time and money into key ingredients like developing unique relevant content and partnership building for link generation etc.

                I would at least wait it out for at least 6-7 months whilst monitoring ranking changes which I would hope are generally heading in a positive direction for target terms, before I start asking questions about my strategy. So I think 1 month is way too soon assuming you are looking at some high traffic/competition terms to rank for.

                All the best though

                    Carlos, I will take a look and send you a PM.

                    In general there is no quick way for SEO (if you want to play it safe), especially if we are talking about a competitive market.

                        Hi Carlos,

                        SEO in general isn't a black&white, "I implement and it is working" science. The results will appear with time.

                        If I had to compare SEO I'd do it like this: It is an ongoing&endless chess game, with unlimited number of players who can move at the same time. And there is Google from the other hand, who can change the rules of the game at any point.

                        Seeing results in this industry (or as you have mentioned it: SEO time) will be quite different with every project. Because it doesn't only depend on you and/or Google. There are the other websites who are constantly evolving and developing.

                        I hope you will see your results soon.

                        Keszi

                          Gallery maintenance and the effect on SEO

                          Basically we get a lot of users uploading photos as part of their review, but many photos aren't moderated into our pages and therefore are never displayed. Things like selfies rather than photos of the product or just random google images that are completely unrelated to our products or services. Is there any benefit in cleaning up the gallery since some images we don't use are just sat there in admin?
                          when a page loads, would it be quicker if we had less content in the gallery? With our SEO hat on.
                          or does it not matter since it's not loading that content (photos) anyway?

                          SEO for multiple languages [Arabic]

                          Hello all, I am currently managing a Marketplace that comes in two different languages: English & Arabic. The English website is, fortunately, doing quite well in terms of SEO performances but, not the Arabic one. The website has two kinds of content: Static content: controlled by me. It includes menu items, navigation, static pages etc which is properly translated among the two languages User-uploaded content: It includes ads/news posted by the user which may not be translated to Arabic if they chose not to do it. Now if somebody goes to the Arabic website and check a news item that doesn't have an Arabic translation, it will show the English title. I am assuming, serving content in a different language that is specified in the hreflang is a straight no, right?

                          Merging Pages and SEO

                          Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
                          e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
                          Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
                          e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
                          What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
                          Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,

                          SEO value of affiliate external links

                          There are websites that have linked to my site. Whenever I hover over link I see my direct website URL and I am not seeing "no follow" when viewing source code so I assume these are passing link juice. However when I click on link it directs briefly to shareasale (affiliate account) in web address bar, but then quickly directs back to my website URL as directed. I was curious if these good links I am acquiring truly pass juice or since they briefly pass through an affiliate site if that cancels or dilutes the link juice. Also I am noticing when inspecting element that after the HREF it says class="external-link" I am just not sure if my link building efforts are being ruined by having an affiliate account running.I did not tell them I had one. I guess they are searching to see that I have one and trying to make a few extra commission dollars.

                          CDN for SEO (or not)?

                          Does CDN impact on SEO or not? There seems conflicting ideas as to whether they impact positively or negatively, I realise that if the page loads quicker this is a good thing for SEO and usability of course. Does Google see CDN as just cheating and a get-around for not doing the work from the ground up and using good hosting etc? Do you have any direct experience? All constructive input much appreciated!

                          Domain Forwarding - SEO Impacts?

                          I have a site that has been active for years - thinkbiglearnsmart.com. Awhile ago I had purchased about 50 domain names that were relevant to my company. I still have those urls and would like to use them to point to different pages on my site - just because they have good key words in the URLs. For example - one is dreamweavertrainingclassesonlinelive.com.  Currently they are all redirecting to my homepage. A. is that hurting me? B. I would like to redirect to the more relevant page. ie the page dedicated to Dreamweaver training (http://thinkbiglearnsmart.com/dreamweaver-creative-cloud-training-course/ ) Will this hurt my Dreamweaver keyword for example because there is already a 301 redirect on that page from a very old Dreamweaver link which was something like thinkbiglearnsmart.com/dreamweaver C. On my hosting account where I can select where the URL forwards to - it has an option for "Location forwarding" and "Frame forwarding" - currently they are set to Frame forwarding - which one is best? Any help is much appreciated!!! Thank you!

                          About to go through a server migration. My intitial thought is that a change in servers shouldn't really change my rankings. But I've heard rumors... Can a server migration change rankings? Why?

                          Migrating online store to subdomain using shopify and effects on seo and energy down the road for seo

                          I'm looking for some clarity... Looking at using Shopify for an existing online store that we have to migrate. Setting up the store with shopify means we will be using a subdomain such as shop.mywebsite.com instead of mywebsite.com/shop. The following are points to consider when responding The client currently has an online store, however it's a proprietary shopping store and CMS that has since gone defunct and they need to migrate to an alternative in order to survive online against new CMS systems that allow the site and its content to be better optimized. There is a lot of existing SEO done on the current site that we don't want to loose PR on. There is roughly 2000 products Client has a fixed budget, dealing with checkout issues, custom work and various other "bugs" seems to be easier controlled with Shopify...thus budget can be used more on content/strategy and migration We want to run the main site in Wordpress and are wanting to use Shopify since it supports a gateway, has great features and seems like it would allow us to get more bang for the buck and can focus more on the main site and content strategy and drive traffic to the subdomain store if needed Or main concern is the effort of migrating 2000+ products to shopify and the traffic and PR it gives the current site will have a negative effect on the main domain itself. Should we really be considering this path? The domain is diveidc.com One main benefit to the subdomain is the ability to clearly segment products from the service portion of the site in the analytics and focus 2 clear strategies and track it in a very defined manner. We're really on the fence with this...any thoughts are welcome.
