Question regarding optimizing privacy policy and terms of service content

While doing a client's website seo audit, we noticed their large amount of content in the privacy policy and terms of service pages, making up a huge majority of the site's text content. What are your thoughts on optimizing the terms of service and privacy policy text content to include keywords? Considering consumers never really read these anyway, does it make sense to weave keywords or other content into the legalese?

Confusing page load data

At the beginning of Dec, Google's PageSpeed Tool gave my wordpress web site a score of 50 for a mobile device.

I already had Autoptimize installed. So I added two additional plugins (Async JavaScript,WP Disable) and brought that score up to 78. The page speed score for a desktop computer is 97. A month later Google's webmaster tools show that the average time to download a page has increased from 1192 ms to 1350.

What is going on ? and would I be better off removing the plugins?

Offline spell & grammar check

One overlooked aspect of Seo is good spelling and grammar.

I know Ginger / whitesmoke / Grammarly are all good. But they all need the internet.

Is it good to do rel=“next/prev” for blog page where it lists all the blogs? And enough where there is pagination.

Example is how you click the blog from the nav bar and its.

Article 1 Title [title links to full article] Article 1 short summary

Article 2 Title [title links to full article] Article 2 short summary

times 10 per page the goes to next pages

And the pagination links for going back to older articles. Is it good to include the rel next/prev tags or is it unnecessary or just confusing for the search bots?

Has anyone tested this? Opinion etc appreciated

SEO vs PPC Advertising

Both of the options are fantastic but people need to understand the difference.

SEO is time consuming & a changing process while PPC is quick & result-oriented.

Most of us generally go to Google & do the respective search & result depends on various factors. You probably will not know today’s white hat eventually becomes black-hat tomorrow. Anything between white and black hat is called Grey hat techniques. So, you should not cross that line while doing SEO. Also, you need to understand deeply where to stop. So, SEO has few limitations :

  1. Slow Process and Results take time.
  2. Over the night, your site can be pushed back in the results.
  3. SEO driven by content marketing & that is where most of the business owner do not want to spend money.
  4. ROI approach is not that clear compared to PPC.

Compared to PPC, where you can generate quick results and leads. You need to understand In-Depth concepts of Adwords, FB, Twitter and while mixing this up with re-targeting can give you fair amount of Advantage over SEO.

So, PPC has following advantages in my view:

  1. Quick Process & Instant Results.
  2. Work on ROI approach.
  3. Results are measurable and cool reports can be generated.
  4. No need of learning new google update or xyz updates. No need to invest in too many SEO Folks or Content or Social Media Marketing.

What do you guys think?

Making use of backlinks from suppliers

Hey all,

Long story short my father's business had an ecommerce site that went down and never recovered.

I'm building him a new site that's mainly to have an online presence and also for contact points with customers (no ecommerce features but maybe that will change down the line).

We sell tools from a wide range of highly reputable companies and used to have a large majority of them linking to their specific tool pages on Dad's site as a "you buy purchase our range of tools from this supplier in x location".

Now without these branded pages how can I make use of the same backlinks? These companies are happy to link to the new site but I'm not too sure the best way to get the most out of the links. Is it worth having a section of "we sell tools from these well known brands and doing something there?".

Thank you for any suggestions

Is this an outdated way of doing things? Why can't I find anyone who can accomplish this...

Here’s something that I have ran across which boggles my mind. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place.

I am strictly a developer and outsource SEO, but I haven’t found any good SEO partners. I have a bunch of clients that come to me with a business and zero web presence. What I am looking for is basically to level set and get them a website that is optimized for SEO, to obtain from them:

```

- List of services they provide (from which should dictate some of the keyword research)

- List of 2-10 competitors in the same space

- Any competitive advantage or anything they think that would be useful in creating content for their site

- Geographical area

```

From there I would use something like YEXT or Moz Local to ensure their social profiles and directories are uniform, and then I’d like to find a SEO/writer/content producer who would tell me:

```

- Keyword research based on geographical area and services provided

- A list of pages and URLs for the pages optimized for specific primary keywords-- with optionally, for each page how much it would cost to produce 500-1000 words of content for the pages optimized for each keyword, -- and for each page the cost

- Same thing as previous bullet but for longer tail keywords

- A plan for next steps (social media, blog posts, etc) based on the keyword research, competitiveness, etc. to rank higher for the higher value keywords

```

When I look at local SEOs and sites like fiverr (sorry, i know) i don’t see anything like this. I see mostly gigs for creating a content marketing plan based on social media and keyword research by itself without the option for content creation. Am I going about this all wrong or in an outdated manner?

Google Webmaster errors

Does anyone else get errors on Google Webmasters (or whatever it's called these days) that isn't really there.

Example. I've a page on the site map that GWM says is not indexed via site map. But on page info and the serps it is.

It's still disconcerting to see the site map showing it as not listed..... Yet it is.

I've come across this and other strange anomalies over the years. Wondering if others have too?

Interestingly re the above site map error if I change the url it gets onto the site map... Again, disconcerting consider its already on the index.

How do I test different versions of a home page?

Conceptually I understand A/B testing and its benefits, but how the hell do I do it?

I want to test different things–one at a time, of course–on my homepage. Things like; images, headlines, CTAs, etc.

I understand how to change them, what I don’t understand is how to change them for only 50% of my visitors and measure the performance.

I use WordPress, if that helps.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to be posting in, too.

Hopefully one of you wizards can help point me in the right direction.

What kind of approach would be best for an e-commerce website?

Hi guys,

Recently I have built up a website for my e-commerce business which specifies in BMW styling/tuning parts, mainly carbon fiber parts. After creating the website for the first time, without previous experience, I discovered that, of course, there isn’t no traffic coming to website, that’s how I found out about SEO and am willing to learn. I do have read about the basic principles of SEO, but still find myself confused on how should I approach it and improve website’s ranking. The website itself is pretty young and I know that it is a process and takes time. I have already set up an on-page SEO, which helped some products to be found in Google. Also, I am trying to assign relevant keywords such as “bmw carbon parts” or “bmw styling components” to the website.

I still have many questions on where should I start and which ways would be most effective.

1.For example, for an e-shop, is it worth it do a blog and for example post new product updates or post customers’ cars every week/month with some writing which includes relevant keywords?

2.How can I create backlinks for the shop?

  1. Is there a way to access Google’s Keyword Planner without buying any ads?

I would really appreciate any insights or ideas, that anybody can suggest. Thank you very much!

What negative SEO tactics should I be on the lookout for from a vengeful former employee?

Hi friends,

To keep a long story short, a coworker recently had a disturbing altercation with a former employee that used to do SEO for us. This former employee also seems to have a grudge against our company.

Our company has been struggling SEO-wise for most of the year. I can't help but think that this former employee might be doing some kind of negative SEO against us. But I can't think of anything that we wouldn't have already noticed.

Do any of you have any ideas of what I should be on the lookout for? This former employee doesn't have access to any of our internal data or accounts. I just don't want to overlook anything. I want to make sure I check every little thing so that I can get comfortable enough to get this idea out of my head.

Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Google is publishing me because someone copied my content

I run a small website that does not have much influence.

A big news website, 20 years old and very authoritative in my niche decided to copy and paste 800-1,000 word articles from my website and basically give me no credit at all.

When I Google search the titles of my articles all I see is their copies of my articles and my own articles don't appear on Google at all.

I contacted the owner of the news websites and he added links to my website underneath each article. Basically I'm getting quality backlinks but my articles are still absolutely buried in Google when I search for the titles.

How come when someone copies content Google punishes the website that published it in the first place? That doesn't make sense.

Are the good quality backlinks going to help my website rank overall even with the plagurism?

Strange behavior with WordPress elementor

Good afternoon fine Reddit gentlemen,

So I have quite an interesting thing going on.

My website built in elementor page builder would often have a section made to show only on desktop and underneath the same section optimized for mobile and set to show on phones and tablets.

Running woorank I had wtf moments when I saw that my tags go like H1-->H2-->H1--->-H2---->H3... because woorank doesn't play by Elementors rules and pulls out everything, not only mobile or desktop sections..

So my question is if I was to make full sections on beginning on page writing text optimized for search engine (with meta tags, keywords...) and display it to neither mobile or desktop, would that thing fly? Would I see any SEO benefits?

Thanks for any comments.

Just looking at various websites through W3C editors and noticed that most companies are very bad at being compliant. Does it really matter?

Hey all, I've lurked on r/seo for years and wondered if anyone could offer some advice for a project I have planned.

I run a business in a niche part of the UK construction industry (carrying out the work itself) and plan to create a directory type website to help clients find local contractors in my spare time this year.

My experience in web development is next to zero. Studied design sporadically in college with a small bit of HTML. I've done some branding and graphic design for businesses over the years - this is mostly a hobby for me but want to develop my skills further.

I created the website for my own construction company using a simple site builder (no coding + not wordpress) and achieved some modest SEO goals over the course of a year (top ranking for London based keywords, fairly low competition).

I've looked at some directory building solutions and Brilliant Directories has stood out so far. Does anyone have experience working with this software? Especially from an SEO prospective as my plan to help clients find contractors will depend on visibility in Google. I'm willing to put the work in but don't want to be limited too much. I also don't know how much coding I would need to achieve something like this on wordpress.

Does repetition of a keyword in URL affect the ranking??

In the website, we are adding a new section called "HIRE A DEVELOPER" in which there are subcategories like hire Magento developer, hire Laravel developers etc. Now we have 3 formats:

  1. www.domain.com/hire-developers/hire-laravel-developer/

    2. www.domain.com/hire-developers/laravel/

Which one will an SEO friendly URL? www.domain.com/hire-developers/hire-laravel-developer/ is this a good format? Repeating the keyword in the URLaffect the Ranking?

Terrible opportunity for an SEO shop or freelancer

I read a post on here the other day where a guy shared his pricing for SEO and everyone described the terrible clients he was going to get. Those clients sounded a lot like us.

We are looking for some SEO help from either a freelancer or small shop.

We are going to have super high expectations on a shit budget. Sound appealing? Keep reading...

Here's the deal;

Our budget is $1000 a month (preferably less).

Our goals are pretty simple; we are looking to improve traffic and create better conversion once people arrive at our site.

We are a B2B service provider that ranks page one locally for a couple of critical keywords but there is just not a ton of search volume so we want to expand our keywords and reach.

We don't have geographic boundaries since many of our offerings are SaaS. We have been in business for about four years and have some decent local online presence via LinkedIn and Google.

We are on Wordpress and are currently migrating from an old theme to Avada. We have freelancers and internal staff who can make updates in WP, just not any real copywriting or expertise in keyword research/ maximization.

I am sure there is a ton more detail we can share but wanted to get the conversation started. If you have any suggestions or are someone that can help, leave a comment!

Any SEO tips for a freelance web designer?

Maybe I drank too much eggnog, but I can't find a decent article about how a freelance web designer can start implementing SEO strategies to be discovered.

Could anyone help with some tips to start?

I've been freelance web designing for about 5 years and making sales via word-of-mouth. I have a small portfolio site with a few blog articles, but ready to put more efforts on content creation. Recently I moved to France (originally from USA) b/c of wife's job and so I'm thinking I could go for long-term keywords like "English web designer France" or something like that to get some more rapid ranking in search engines....although I don't know if people would even search that. If I look at my client list, they are sort of all over the place from educators, consultants to tech companies.

I guess I'm trying to determine:

  • Should I focus on local SEO early and then focus on an industry?
  • Should I write one long page related to "freelance web designer in France" or write a few?
  • Is there a good website example to follow? Just curious if you can spot a particular site that appears better than others.

Why is google analytics so terrible? I have different results between Hotjar, Clicky and Analytics.

Analytics has shown 2 visitors for yesterday, with an average of 00:00:01 time spent on site, from facebook.

Yet I know that 2 visitors looked at my page and can see on Hotjar and Clicky, that they spent nearly 5 minutes each, and could not have been from facebook (as I took my ads down temporarily, and my page is fairly empty).

My tracking JavaScript etc is working fine so how goddamn hard is it for Google Analytics to show some accurate (or even close to accurate) results?

Thoughts?

College junior looking to digital marketing for potential career

Hey guys, Happy Holidays!

I’m currently a junior in college majoring in Political Economy. I like my major but the job prospects aren’t too appealing to me (it seems like it’s either grad school, Law School, teaching abroad, etc.). I’m starting to worry a little bit because I need to find an internship this summer and don’t know what to look for. Last summer I did legal research for my University’s Law School and also helped Law students with writing projects. It was great, but I’m afraid it just prepared me more for Law School than anything else.

Anyway, digital marketing / SEO-related work seems like a good path for me: in fairy confident in my ability to learn the technical aspects, and writing has long been one of my strong suits.

However, I’m worried because I feel like I’m a bit screwed time wise. I feel that there’s not too much time to learn if I start now in order to get an internship this summer. Is it possible? What are the steps I should take after reading guides like Moz? Should I just apply for SEO internships now and learn after? What kinda of places should I be looking for?

Thanks so much guys.

How to target more search terms efficiently on 1 page ?

I'm creating a site to sell a virtual service, similar to web development. It will be available for virtually any site/cms.

I was first planning to create multiple pages so I can target more search terms, like "Looking for a [myservice] service ?" and "Buy [myservice] for WordPress", etc.

I read that it's actually better to have it all on one page instead of scattering it over multiple. Mind you, it's 1 the same service. I'm just offering it for any CMS.

So now my plan is to just create 1 page for the service, and seperate the content with headers (h2). So one header+paragraph for each search term basically.

So it will look more like this: <h1> Main Header <p> General info <h2> Looking for a [myservice] service ? <p> Relevant info regarding this specific title <h2> Buy [myservice] for WordPress <p> Relevant info regarding this specific title <h2> Buy [myservice] for Magento <p> Relevant info regarding this specific title etc etc

In terms of design it will be variable. Some are text blocks + images, but I'll also use grids with content boxes for other sections.

Is this a good approach ? Or does anyone have better ideas ?

Query on Composition of Search Volume in Google Search Rankings

Hi all

  1. I understand that this might be a newb-oriented question, but I would like to ask if the google keywords ranking discovered by google adwords planner only counts searches that lead to websites, and not other types of content such as images, videos and news. I am asking this because the top results for each category seem to be very polarized for certain keywords.

  2. How useful is using top-ranking keywords for general websites, in planning the copy for an Android/iOS app in the same genre as that website? Do apps count as regular websites in the returning of results in a Google search?

Thank you.

Question for all of you SEO Wizards.

Not in your field (retired guy with too much time on my hands) but very curious about it. Have explored Ahrefs and Buzzsumo and Semrush and Moz and read a couple of books on the topic. All in an effort to at least gain a basic understanding of SEO from a writer’s perspective.

So, here’s my question. If you’re really good at SEO and can get a particular website to rank in the top 10 of Google for a category, why not do it for yourself instead of for a client?

For example, take a category like Roofing or Plumbing or Swimming Pool Contractor or Widget Manufacturer. Build the most SEO-Friendly site possible, including killer content and the appropriate backlinks, and the 200 other ranking factors Google is said to use. Own the URL yourself, and the corresponding social media accounts.

Then collect all the traffic for yourself and build an email list. Then sell the leads (or the entire site) to someone in those industries for big bucks.

I’ve read so much about your struggles with terrible clients with unreasonable expectations and impossible demands, and then bickering over your fees. Seems if you guys can really build sites that dominate the traffic, you’re in the driver’s seat, and the clients should be kissing your behinds.

Why aren’t they?

Is it harder to get clients in smaller towns to pay the same rates?

Businesses in smaller towns from my understanding don’t generally make as much as big city companies in the same business.

But as an SEO company, it doesn’t necessarily get any cheaper to provide your services just because a client is in a small town. A web design, blog posts, etc... all still cost the same.

I guess you might just do less of it if there’s less competition so it does end up cheaper after all?

Easy trick to get 95% discount on hosting services

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5IOc_3PeVk

- Hostinger.com is accepting BitDegree coins (cryptocurrency) as a payment method, with a fixed value of $0.07 per coin.

- As with most minor cryptos in 2018, BDG is worthless now and sells for 0.003 on crypto exchanges.

The trick: Buy BDG for $0.003 and spend them on hostinger for x23 the value. Enjoy your 96% discounts and your 20 cents per month VPS plans, as well as .com domain registrations/transfers/renewals for 40c per year :D

I'm not entirely sure how long this offer will be valid, I'm assuming by the end of this year.

Best Web Hosting

I know there are lots of posts in relation to this.

I recently signed up for SiteGround, and I'm wondering if I made a mistake? I have a Google domain so I was tempted to just use Bluehost since that is what Google directed me to upon selecting to create my own site.

I did a quick Reddit search and most said Bluehost was shit and the best alternative was SiteGround. One of the key arguments I saw was Bluehost Yelp reviews. ...the problem with that is SiteGround has shit reviews on Yelp too.

Just wondering if I made the right decision. I am new to all of this and although I'm not afraid to fail, I like doing things right the first time.

How would you leverage this video content?

Hey, my app generates a lot of user generated videos, usually between 15 and 30s featuring gameplay highlights from mobile games.

How would you leverage them in SEO? They're great for engagement and UA purposes, but I would like to squeeze all of the utility out of them. They're categorized by game and there's a short description what's happening. I have an opinion of using some resources to further edit and curate them.

Right now, I'm thinking about using them as additional content on game specific pages, probably as a video gallery but I'm unsure if it would have an effect. Does video have value on its own, or does it need the accompanying description? Another idea would be to currate collections out of the videos and publish those.

I'm not overly excited about either of the ideas, so dear r/SEO, what would you do?

noob alert : url with most impressions is a 404

Hi,

I launched my Shopify store around 2 months ago

I check Google console every day and the url with most impressions (by far) is one I did not even create.

It even contains some keywords not related to my collections nor any of the content I've ever uploaded.

When I click on it it's a 404.

Why? what kind of sorcery is this?

Search Console taking terribly long to register backlinks?

I'm building backlinks from highly active, high domain authority sites for two different new sites I am working on. I've built quite a few links in December. It's been nearly two weeks for a lot of the backlinks. Yet none of the links show up in Search Console 'links to site' section.

For the first site I'm seeing a lot of positive movement in the SERPs and for the second not so much. Is it normal for search console to take this long to register backlinks for new site?

Is this site really employing White Hat and guaranteed 1st page ranking within 12 days?

Are they doing this just thru backlinks? So it's happening due to volume of backlinks? Seems suspicious to me.

Thoughts?

Looking for in-depth case study/research about the impact of semantic HTML on SEO

As stated on title, I've tried to look for in-depth research (backed up with reliable data) about the impact of semantic HTML (nav, article, aside, section and other semantic tags) to the SEO effort.

Have tried to search it over google but the best I can get is this one: www.searchenginejournal.com/how-much-does-semantic-html-structure-matter-for-seo/7991/

Backlinks or Solid content

Hey, guys I've found a niche and the keyword difficulty on Aherfs is below 20 for that niche. Now, I am planning to start my own gernal blog related to that niche or other related low competitive niche. My question is writing content is enough? I don't have much budget for backlinks. I can make comments backlinks but they are usually spammy. Any way to rank??

Only HTTPS Version of the Site is Indexed (woo hoo!), but Both HTTP And HTTPS Versions Are 'Live' (is this bad?)

HI, /r/SEO, quick question about whether or not I should do anything if both HTTP and HTTPs versions of pages of a site are “live.”

Example, these are both LIVE:

https://www.examplesite.com/service/productZZZ/ And http://www.examplesite.com/service/productZZZ/

Screaming Frog lists the HTTP pages as "Non-Indexable" (column E) and they also don't show up in a manual Google Search. Only the HTTPS version is indexed in google.

Sitemap is correctly presenting only the HTTPS versions, as well.

Should I undertake an effort to 301 redirect the HTTP versions to the HTTPS versions? or is it sufficient to ensure there are no links to the HTTP versions anywhere (on my site or on external sites)?

thank you!
