Has anyone used Micrositez? Or can recommend them?
-
Hi all,
After using SEOmoz for a while (and I have learnt alot - it's a fantastic resource) I think it's about time our website is given the nudge by a professional, who unlike me isn't learning the ropes and trying to compete with the big boys!
So easy question, has anyone used/can vouch for http://www.micrositezdigital.co.uk/
I've been in contact with them alot recently and spent hours on the phone. 1 side of me is impressed, the other is scared to death of the monthly price.
Any help would be appreciated with this, It would nice to know how good they are especially in regards to their bespoke campaigns.
Thanks,
Allan

They've rebranded to Swish Digital now, here is a recent thread discussing a site currently being worked on by them https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/keep-or-fire-the-seo-company-please-help-asap.2654110/

Allan,
I also used Opensiteexplorer.org to look at your back links. They are all from directories, it would help to diversify your link structure to include high domain blogs and post on forums related to your industry, DJ equipment.

Hi Allan,
There are many SEO company's (employees and owners) who post on these forums ( I'm not one of these people). A few of them to me are very impressive with their knowledge. Have you considered looking at these users, then if you feel they are compatible with your needs looking at their profile and visiting their site?
This way you know whom you are dealing with and can judge their knowledge well before they even give you a price.
Just a thought, hope it helps

Allan,
My short answer is no.
They outsource their clients keywords to text brokers and bloggers, and use alot of back linking to sites with low domain scores, for the main part, as well as linking on international domains.
SEO isn't always easy, fun, and exciting, but as long as you want to learn how to do it, you can achieve first page. I promise with hard work, you can save a lot of money and see results.
Their client www.xoticdreamcars.com who are chasing the keyword "exotic car rental" as advertised on their site isnt on the TOP 5 on google ranking.
I do understand it's a very highly competitive keyword :
| <a class="aw-ti-resultsPanel-details">exotic car rental</a> | High | 201,000 | 135,000 (from Google's keyword tool) |
However, in my opinion it's best if you learned how to SEO for your niche market. Like you have said SEOmoz is a great resource and it's time you take a crack at it.
I'll give you a few tips too.
There's a starter guide for SEO on here, I don't have a direct link for it so please look it up.
Get Google Chrome Browser and get the SEOmoz toolbar plugin, it checks homepage Domain Authorities and Page Authorities. In my opinion, your best bet is find sites in your relevant area and back link from their site to yours.
Another tip, see those sites that micrositez use for their Google results? Good. Now open up http://www.opensiteexplorer.org
and type in those sites they list, and check their inbound links and anchor texts. You will see where they link to, the domain scores, and what kind of links they give to their customers.
Now ask yourself, is this something I want to do?
SEOmoz as well as the internet also offer FREE advice how to fix your homepage.. ie..H1 tags, no duplicate content, proper title pages, no 404s, original content(the most important factor)
So please, save yourself that money and enjoy happy hour somewhere.

What Tools Do I USe To Find Why My Site No Longer Ranks
Hi, I made the mistake of hiring a freelancer to work on my website [in2town.co.uk](link url) but after having a good website things went from bad to worse. The freelancer was kicked off the platform due to lots of compliants from people and creating backdoors to websites and posting on them. It cost me money to have the back door to our site closed. I then found lots of websites were stealing my content through the rss feed. Two of those sites have now been shut down by their hosting company. With all these problems I found in Feb that the hundreds of keywords that I ranked for had vanished. And all the ones that were in the top ten for many years have also vanished. When I create an article which includes https://www.in2town.co.uk/skegness-news/lincolnshire-premier-inn-staff-fear-for-their-jobs/ they cannot be found in Google. Normally before all these problems, my articles were found straight away. If I put in the title name Lincolnshire Premier Inn Staff Fear For Their Jobs and then add In2town in front of it, then instead of the page coming up with the article, it instead shows the home page. Can anyone please advise what tools i should be using to find out the problems and solve them, and can anyone offer advice please on what to do to solve this.

Has anyone had issues with Bazaarvoice and schema.org?
About a year ago we started using Bazaarvoice to get reviews for our products, and it has been great as far as accumulating content, but Google is not taking the schema.org data and displaying it on the SERP. Someone has told me it is because we are offering multiple products, or that our schema.org tags are incorrect but when I compare our code to other travel sites it seems like everyone is doing something different. This is especially annoying since the Google schema markup check says everything is fine. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences? Thanks.

Using Product Page Content from an Offline Website
Hi all, We have two websites. One of the website's no longer sells product range A. However, on the second website, we would like to sell range A. We paid a copywriter to write some really good content for these ranges and we were wondering if we would get stung for duplicate content if we took these descriptions from website 1 and placed them on website 2. The products / descriptions are live anymore and haven't been for about 6 weeks. We're ranking for some great keywords at the moment and we don't want to spoil that. Thanks in advance! D

Rel canonical = can it hurt your SEO
I have a site that has been developed to default to the non-www version. However each page has a rel canonical to the non-www version too. Could having this in place on all pages hurt the site in terms of search engines? thanks Steve
