Re: Bravely requesting Sales Page critique

Not everyone has the same perception of missionaries. It's a very divisive occupation. Some people will consider it to instantly make the OP appear trustworthy - but some will consider it the exact...

Re: LeadImpact - Can't Seem To Get Any Serious Volume

I've heard from a couple of people that TrafficVance converts better for MMO traffic. Not surprising - their toolbar is bundled with a game, after all...

Re: Directory links seem to be really working now?

Hm - sounds like a blip. I'd not consider directory links to be "back" yet - see if Google corrects its algorithm first.

Re: Bravely requesting Sales Page critique

Good call - and a brave one - on asking for advice! Quick thoughts:



Specificity! How much extra money? From your headline I don't know if you're talking beer money or buy-a-beach money :)

Re: Is Twitter Marketing even worth it?

Twitter Spam is, IMO, definitely not worth doing. There's a "2007 called, it wants its blackhat techniques back" element there...

Re: What is content siloing?

It's actually a whitehat technique, used by Fraser Cain of Keyword Strategy amongst other people. It's all internal link stuff, so there's nothing there that Google objects to - at least, not yet :)

Re: Profit From Adsense

Incredibly variable, but it's unusual to see it take less than 3 months.

Re: 301 redirect all domains to 1?

I'd tend to suggest purchasing the obvious ones, yes. It doesn't help with SEO, but does stop people registering the other obvious ones (.net, .biz, etc) and causing brand confusion.

Re: Scraping websites - use PHP and Regexp or something else?

I'm very surprised no-one's suggesting Ruby + nokugiri here. It's incredibly powerful for website scraping.

I just looked up one complex, multi-page scrape script I wrote, and it's 41 lines for...

Re: Multiple H1 titles on a page?

Eeenteresting. I'd have said multiple H1s wasn't a good idea, but if SEOMoz are doing it, I very much doubt there's a problem with it.

Can you give an example of a page where they do that? I'm a...

Re: What is content siloing?

I think this is one of those terms that has multiple meanings for multiple people.

The way I've heard it used most often is in terms of "streams" of content on your site.

Say you have a site...

Re: Is Twitter Marketing even worth it?

Twitter can be tremendously useful for driving traffic to your site, particularly if you're writing high-quality content. However, it's not terribly fast to build up. I'd probably recommend using...

Re: Does Google Employees Also Visit WarriorForum?

I would be amazed if there wasn't at least one Google employee watching every major SEO forum.
That's one of the reasons I avoided BuildMyRank when it was around - something that well-publicised...

Re: Cloaking Links = Necessary?

GetSomeDollar - what forwarding method are you using? Depending on what you're doing, you could be getting hit by a duplicate content penalty.

Re: Cloaking Links = Necessary?

I did a bit of research on Google and affiliate links a while ago. My conclusion was a) don't cloak them (although the old domainname.com/affiliatename 301 redirect seems to be OK), but b) do...

Re: There's Scarcity, and then there's stupid scarcity.

A scarcity tactic I've seen used effectively is the"we're adding content all the time, and at some point the price will raise to reflect that".

It's useful for products where you can't do waves...
