How to focus SEO efforts on a single country?
-
I hope this one isn't too obvious a question to ask, as I'm sure it's been asked before. However -
I'm considering a new site which would be focussed entirely on a UK market. US and other world traffic would be effectively useless.
Using social media and standard linkbuilding techniques, how do I focus my efforts on the UK market? Getting links from .co.uk, I guess - what else? Or is it just "SEO generally and some of it'll be for the UK"?

Hi Cisaz,
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "duplicate one for in each country", and give some background about why you suggest submitting to a search engine monthly?
-
If you are focusing just for the UK you nedd a co.uk tld as you mentioned. You need to submit to UK directories and to get links from UK sites. If you can host your page in the UK that is even better, that does not mean to buy hosting from a UK firm but to have server phisically based in the UK. You can alsotry adding a lang=en parameter to the html. As Cisaz said you can try adding targeted cities like seo in London or Birmingham. That is all you can do besides general SEO issues.
-
Start with Single Directories for each Cities area of interest, and duplicate one for in each country, then submit it to each search engine monthly, and add relative unique content of each page. To insure link quality.
Hope this helps!

A lot of blogs use wordpress or blogspot, are these blogs still useful for SEO in terms of linkbuilding, or should they be avoided?
I am very new to linkbuilding and SEO as a whole, so please forgive my ignorance. Reaching out to bloggers is a common tactic, but I've found a lot of people tend to blog with the assistance of wordpress or blogspot. I was wondering whether these blogs are still useful for SEO or if it is best to avoid them? Thanks in advance, Lewis

New to SEO, looking for advice.
Good day. I am fairy new to SEO and a lot of things about how google ranking works is very confusing to me. For example i do not understand why websites that are not optimized score 1st positions. Currently i am working on optimizing http://logiunvarti.lv/ for google.lv. I would like to ask if i am going in the right direction as far as on-page optimization and any kind of suggestion would be very welcome. Another roadblock i have reached is link building. Latvia is not a big country and most of the websites on similar topic as my are either competitors and are have low domain authority, dead for years, or simply ignore emails. Would social media be a decent alternative? I feel like i am missing a crucial point on SEO in for my country. I would be extremely grateful for any advice or if possible to contact me on skype for a better explanation on my problem.

Listly and SEO
We use listly quite a lot. A few of our lists get embedded in other sites. A lot of the embedded lists have links back to us. Is there any seo benefit on this, or will just one of the sites count ? Isn't this just duplicate content ? Wondering what your thoughts are.

Does using "pring2web" hurt SEO?
I've never really seen this before but one of my clients has 4000+ links from Print2Web. Their rankings are falling back a bit but I'm wondering if this is part of the problem. They don't seem to say their service is about SEO so I'm not so sure this is counted as spam or not. The main concern is that the next closest number of links from one site is only 97. Has anyone heard of this service? Can someone tell me from experience if using this service has hurt SEO efforts? Thanks!
