[Ramirez]

[Denny]

What's your budget?

[Ramirez]

You most likely will... SEO guys are like the used car salesmen of the internet.

^ thanks for the tip

[bpluva]

Read, read, read, and read some more you will eventually get it. Follow basic rules it really isn't difficult if you have a low compete keywords.

[Ramirez]

bpluva i read some ebooks and tutorials on link building and seo but that didnt help, guess i'll have to read more. I guess there are alot of professional scammers out there that offer SEO services and at the end of the campaign you'll end up with your money nowhere.

[RachelBlackG]

dont underestimate h1-3 on all your webpages, i ve just had seoed by seoap.com. well they tell me less mistakes in seo than i expected, but some were helpful

[Ramirez]

What they did to your site actually and how much you payed?

[RachelBlackG]

I paid $250. They said how to adjust h1-3 on main, category and subpages and changes meta description a little.

[Ramirez]

They only saied what to change and you changed it. Did you saw some SE visitors?

[RachelBlackG]

Not much. It was site analysis report, not exactly SEO campaign. I've just found that Google maybe looks on my site like on "duplicate content" (I have been using many non-unique titles in my beginning) so it could be also the reason why I dont see bigger effect.

I would spend that $200 to $300 a month on educating yourself on good SEO techniques and do it all yourself. There is nothing you need to know more as a site owner than the very basics of SEO. It will change how you see things in business, how you design sites in general and many other aspects of running your business.

The best thing you could ever do is obtain that knowledge yourself. Not saying you need to be a mega expert but it wouldn't hurt to get the basics down. You would be surprised what you can pull off with just the basics.

Amen.

Learning to seo your own site is invaluable. I have 65 sites at the moment and I am putting up new sites everyday and I target different keywords and each site makes a profit and just keep expanding.

[CamTraffic]

7 K per keyword
The real Deal

[pm2000]

lots of seo company, just be carefull

[pornguy]

I would have told you that for free.

Learning to do it yourself is the best way. and any real SEO work is going to cost you and to 2 to 3 k a month or more.

It really depends on how much someone is willing to learn and keep up with all the algo adjustments. You (if you are Kelli) gave me some EXCELLENT advice back in Sep 2010 but that was because I not only knew your sites, but because I had the audacity to repeatedly email you until you broke down and responded!! lol.

And I've also done that to several other people whose work I admire for some reason. Not everyone is as crazy as I am, so sometimes it might make sense to pay a few hundred per month for 3or 4 dedicated hours so long as you approach it with a willingness to learn and not a 'here's your payement, get me a #1 ranking' type arrangement.

Oh, and here's another example from a post on a different forum back in January.

POSTED BY JIMMY COOPER

I have a couple SEO Questions..

1. It seems like my wordpress pages aren't ranking as high as the posts? Is there a reason for that or am I imagining things?

The Static Pages and Posts options on the sitemap generator Change Frequencies area are both set to "Weekly" and Priorities are both set to "1".

2. When I started the site, someone familiar with SEO, but not blogging told me that the key was to have a lot of pages. I know that's not necessarily the case, and I think pages and posts should technically rank the same, but I didn't know that at the time and it led me to create a ton of pages. the site launched in July and there are now 266 Pages and 671 Posts. My strategy since the beginning of December has been to update several of the pages with photos of one sponsor, add a sentence or two, and try to cross reference the text by mentioning another page (ie, mention pigtails on the stockings page if possible and vice versa).My theory is that it keeps the content fresh and the updates should help the pages in search.

I then use a different image in the post than what was used on the page for image seo purposes. If I do posts similar to the one above repeatedly, things are bound to pick up, right? I've only averaged about 600-700 search hits per day for the past week. Most from image search.

3. Out of all the banners and links you see on my home page, only 3 are external. 1 goes to a subdomain and the rest lead to a page within the site.

And for most of the photos of the day, I hard link to a page like this instead of directly to the sponsor.

Provided that I make a good 'sell' on those pages, as is the case with Juliland I think, do the SEO benefits outweigh the liklihood that a portion of readers will not end up visiting the sponsor because of that extra step?

4. In terms of link exchanges, I've only done 1 or maybe technically 2 or 3. They are in the Additional Friends section. I just can't stomach the thought of doing link exchanges. It's so hard to find good sites to exchange with and it seems like the best affiliates only link to sites within their own network. I signed up for linkspun for the sake of doing exchanges on just a few feeder sites, but even then it seemed like a waste of time to comb through all the crap, so I just waited for requests. After the first three or four, I stopped paying attention because they were all done so poorly and were really just poor matches. Not that my site is perfect by any means. I have no design background and certain things about my site really, really annoy me, but I'd honestly rather do something entirely different with my time/life if doing link exchanges with a bunch of crap websites is a requirement for success.

5. I did my first TGP the other day. The traffic bump was much more than I expected and I plan to continue doing them. I did them on a page similar to the Juliland one above (with the sidebars removed). The problem is that I've read several times that all pages should be somewhat accessible from the home page, but I don't really want those to be accessible from anywhere on the site. What should I do about that?

Anyway, let me know if you think there are any possible improvements I can make. Thanks in advance.

GET UP IN THAT ASS, LARRY!

Answering your questions in order:

1 - This is most likely due to taxonomy - you are utilizing categories on posts but not on pages
- the category pages link back to the posts creating "on-site deep linking"
- bonus note - these on-site links are more powerful than off-site links
- special SEO note - (site structure/information structure) make better use of your categories, make them more meaningful, more accurately descriptive, more relevant to the content -- rather than using general/bland/non-descriptive "info", utilize categories like "digital desire" and "erotic photography" and "new porn stars"

2 - Over time pages will rank better than posts - posts are "dated" and by default become "archived" - to the search engines "archived" equates to "old" - "out-dated" information. Pages are "static" information therefore holding more "information value" for a longer period of time.
- convert your posts to pages - utilize WP as a CMS rather than a blog (posts to pages plugin)
- regular updates to existing pages and adding new pages are both good
- you are perfectly on the right track with image file naming and utilizing alt text (good job!)
- I imagine all that "image search traffic" is a big old flop - right? -- 100% bounce rate?
ORPHAN PAGES!!! NO navigation, no brand, no nothing... see the pic and leave (bounce bye-bye)
- same thing is true for ALL OF YOUR PICS on posts and pages... click on them and land on an oprphan page - no hope to convert them that way!!
- make all of your pics link to their respective pages and make some money off that image traffic and stop your visitors from landing on orphan pages, no matter which way they click on pics

3 - make ALL EXTERNAL LINKS rel=nofollow
- the extra step probably is killing conversions
- use WP-Click-Tracker to mask and track your affiliate urls and send them straight to the sponsor - you can use same link structure setting that page to automatically redirect to the sponsor (use Page Links To -OR- gdHeadSpace4 plugins to easily set up redirects)

4 - GOOD CHOICE!! Reciprocal linking will kill a good site.
- quality relevant sites are the key - you are correctamundo on that!! Especially RELEVANT!!
- you are hurting yourself badly though on Wordpress.com
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com...&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
- log in to those account and set your profile name to link to its respective WP.com blog and then let the blog link to your site - much more valuable link arrangement
- here is what Google thinks of all those inbound links...
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&aqi=&aql=&oq=
Not good at all... zip, zilch, nothing, notta
Change it up as I described and you'll fix this - Google will have more respect for the proper link arrangement

5 - Common misconception - just be sure they are at least listed on both an html and xml sitemap so they are indexed and found via search results - an amazing amount of search volume for TGPs still exists - go for it
- it would be good if you set up a TGP for a model you already have on site to link to the TGP from the model's page

Final notes:
You are doing a pretty darn good job overall SEO-wise. Just fix the basics and you'll be rockin'!
- (document structure) suggest you fix your theme - here are the "headings" on all of your pages:
Leave a Reply Cancel reply
Porn Stars
Pages + Recent Posts
Feature Pages
About
Site Feed
Admin
Subscribe
Search
Look familiar?? Its all of your sidebar and footer widgets. Those titles should NOT be in heading tags (ie. < h1 >, < h2 >, etc)
- headings should be in body content only - used in numerical order, ideally
- MORE informative content on your pages would help A LOT! Get beyond one paragraph and make good use of heading tags - keep headings to the point, relevant and informative
- make good use of meta tags - keywords and descriptions - you're on the right track here too - just be sure all tags are specific to their page and make sure keyword tags are closely relevant (if not same as) category tags - keyword tags can go more in-depth than category tags is how I set it up.

All in all you are on the right track and doing a good job!

Let me know if you have any further questions.

EDITED TO ADD:
Turn commenting OFF! There's no sense having any comments - 90% of the time they will NOT be RELEVANT to the content of the page and that ends up diluting the focus of your pages - not good SEO-wise.

PART II

POSTED BY JIMMY COOPER

Wow. Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful. I feel like I just found a pot of gold!

For the images, here are past weeks numbers for just the google.com/referral ones. I don't think the numbers are that bad, but not many conversions, so I definitely need to tweak it like you said.

google.com / referral 1,043 2.44 00:01:33 93.38% 31.64%
I have been proactive in trying to get image traffic. I created an entire section that uses large photos specifically for the image hits.

And up until December, I had been linking the images directly to the sponsors. I switched because I thought using text links were an easy way to add keyword rich text.

Good idea about turning the comments off. What's funny is that I had been getting annoyed with the quality of comments and posted this on my Q+A page just last week.

Why has my comment not been posted?
Probably because it was either poorly written, used an excessive amount of slang, or was simply in bad taste. If I feel that a comment does not add to the experience of viewing any particular page, it will not be accepted. Period. I am aware of the perception that posting comments and giving readers an opportunity to freely express their opinions is a vital component to the blogosphere, but I really don?t care. With that being said, well written and tasteful comments are more than welcome. Also note that more grammatical leeway will be given to a comment if it?s clear that English is not the first language of the writer. Particularly to those who are French and female.

lol.

Thanks again. You really answered some questions that have been seriously bugging me for awhile!

I forget the exact amount of time that it took to write my first post with all the questions, but it must have taken at least an hour and I was extremely lucky to find someone who was willing to answer such in-depth questions in a public forum. When you factor in the multiple private messages, that entire 'step' in the SEO learning process probably took at least 1 day.

Now, I've only skimmed the posts, but it's likely that some of my questions back in January were still beginner level questions bc I know for a fact that I have repeated similar processes with more advanced questions several times since the above posts and am still regularly learning new things. The curve obviously slows when you have a larger base of knowledge, but the nature of SEO is not static, so you have to continually keep up.
