Re: EMD specialists, comment on this please

Respect your opinion as always Mike, but I'm in complete disagreement with you on this one.

Firstly, as I'm sure you will agree, search volume totals I would say are broadly irrelevant in this -...

Re: UPDATING PAGE = DROP IN SERPS?

It's a loose correlation - it's ultimately impossible to isolate all the variables i.e. to say that the update is what caused the drop. Either way, it's not been long enough to declare it a drop,...

Re: EMD specialists, comment on this please

I haven't seen much of a change though. All of my microsites are in the same position, all have had minimal link building applied - I guess it depends on what you define as "weak SERPs", however the...

Re: EMD specialists, comment on this please

Again though, you could say the same with anything and everything (paid links, widgets etc) - Google, quite frankly, doesn't have the time or anything like the resources, to police every single...

Re: EMD specialists, comment on this please

Matt Cutts says a lot of things, however are you honestly saying if you follow his advice to the letter you would have the perfectly optimised site with tons of visibility in search?

Re: EMD specialists, comment on this please

Maybe in a theoretical context/a "this is the way the world should be" context, but in a practical context absolutely not - again, it's the primary difference between believing what you read, and...

Re: Franchise website question..one or many?

Definitely all on the same site. I work with two major franchisors in the UK, I also worked with quite a few when I was an account manager i.e. when I was miserably employed - I've seen both...

Re: Why the panic? Link building can be simple.

Of course it's not. Using "automated tools" (I'm speaking generally here which probably isn't fair, however I'm also doing that for the purposes of brevity) is like driving a three-wheeler and...

Why the panic? Link building can be simple.

Re: Website description problem

Google will take the text it deems most relevant to the query and display that as the meta description - basically, whether or not your custom meta description is displayed is entirely query...

Re: Why did Google cut a lot of traffic to my Blog?

No, it's not. Evidence? Research? White paper?

Too much spun, low-quality crap content behind your website - content created SOLELY for the purpose of a link and content which is ultimately, crap...

Re: The Sky is NOT Falling: Here's Proof.

No, I'm not looking to sell services on here - I'm on here mainly to boost my rep in this community and sell access to a PBN; I've got a great rep in certain parts of the UK, needs to translate...

The Sky is NOT Falling: Here's Proof.

I thought this may be of use for people who are struggling to see the fact that really, not all that much has changed - the main alterations in 2012, were really down to:

Re: How many backlinks are necessary?

No, absolutely not - what you are doing i.e. linking from profiles/on forums I wouldn't exactly classify as link building in the first place, it's always going to produce REALLY low quality links.

Re: Got my first PR7 domain, what's next?

Never heard of it - I don't tend to rely on plugins/software for such things; as long as it 301 redirects then it's not an issue, it HAS to be a 301 though otherwise the link value won't pass on.

Re: Link Swaps - Are They Black Hat?

On the question, I've mentioned this a lot in the last few posts but no form of link building is 'dead' or 'bad' per say - it depends on:

1. Whether you are going to get caught.
2. The level of...

Re: Confusion Regarding Guest Posts SEO?

Ugh.

Google is a search engine, it's not an all-seeing entity - it's mechanical. No single link building mechanism is ever going to 'die off'; directory submissions can even still be useful if...

Re: How many backlinks are necessary?

A lot.

Is the ACTUAL page you're placing the link on a PR9? Of course not, it's a brand new page. PageRank is assigned at the page-level, although there's a widely held belief it's assigned at...

Re: Ranking On Google

It means you are probably seeing personalised results - are you sure you're logged out? If in doubt, use AdPreview.

It also obviously depends on the keyword - if it has next to no competition...
