Hi Bob, here's some resources to get you started!
This YouMOz article has some ideas:
15 Smart Ways to Find Guest Posting Opportunities
You can search google for blogs that cover the same topics as your site that accept guest posts using queries like:
finance coaching blog "guest post"
There's more about using google to find guest blogging opportunities here: 3 Smart Google Search Tips to Hunt for Guest Post Opportunities
You could try searching twitter. A great way to do this is to use followerwonk to search people's bios. You could do searches like:
nlp coach blog
Take a look at what others are doing, see if they have their own blogs that might accept guest posts or even if they don't you may be able to find out where they are guest posting.
Think about where your potential audience are going to hang-out too. If you can get guest posts infront of them and get some direct qualified referral traffic to you site then this can be even better. You may find that people arriving through this channel convert better.
Remember that guest blogging isn't just about getting those backlinks. It's a great way to build your reputation/authority and position yourself in your chosen niche.
Again, hope this helps.

I changed it up, it's a little better now.
How do I find the "lots of opportunities to guest post"?
Thanks Doug!

I'll check out SiteTuners CEO. Thanks again EGOL! You're one of the best!

Thank you for such good suggestions. I have a lot to learn.

You could hire a conversion optimization company such as SiteTuners. They can help you improve your site and your sales pages for better conversion. Or you can read Tim Ash's book (SiteTuners CEO) "Landing Page Optimization" and try to do it yourself.
Or, the best approach is what I did... read the book twice, attend landing page optimization workshop, work on the project yourself, then have them help you kick it up a notch.
It will probably not cost as much as you think. Just have them to a study and recommend and then two one hour on the phone with you sessions.

I would like to help you through a suggestion. The right approach to gain more conversion rate is to get the target audience to your site. To get target audience to your site, you should select the right keywords for your site. Try choosing those keywords which are best suited to the service that you offer. I hope this is a helpful answer to you.

Hi Bob,
Just some quick thoughts, please don't take anything here as criticism!
My first impression when visiting the site is that it's "a lot about Bob" and not much about "me!" I would suggest that you open with a clear proposition so people instantly get what's in it for them when the hit your site.
Try to take an external perspective and think about your site from your customers perspective. (Have you got a clear understanding of the type of people your customers are?)
What are the problems/needs of your target audience? You need to write content that targets those needs. (They don't need "Bob.")
Can you answer: "Is this for me? Am I going to find what I'm looking for?"
You need to explain the benefits of the service/solutions you offer.
Explain the benefits of what you do - why should someone come to you and not the next guy? What makes what you do unique?
What are the concerns that potential customers might have? How can you address these concerns?
Nice clear call to action, with a reason to take action now.
"Free consultation" is nice, but why should I be interested? Your calls to action are right at the top of the page, before you've given someone a reason to call. I don't go onto the internet to get some "free consultation."
"Call now to find out how YOU can take control of YOUR money today!"
The list of outcomes could be a lot more direct and compelling. They feel a little like "features" and I'm not entirely sure I understand what they mean. Can you flip these into more direct benefits - with what that actually mean to the potential customer. (It's useful to ask "why should I care?")
Once you get someone to call for their free consultation - do they convert to customers?
As for link building, I would have thought there would be lots of opportunities to guest post about these kinds of thing? Not only would this get links, but gets you in front of the right eye-balls and builds authority/credibility?
Hope this helps!

Research on building links to a website
Hi building a brand new site with no domain authority. I have created all the content and now want to start building links to the website. Mostly through guest posting, niche directories, broken link building and other whitehat methods. Anyway i was wondering if anyone has seen any good research on the way you should link to a brand new website or any site for that matter. Like in terms of % you should focus at the homepage, inner pages, anchor distribution, internal link structure, etc. A good start would be looking at successful competitors, but i wanted to see if anyone knows any studies on this. My goal is to build a link profile which meets the standards of Google and that lasts! Thanks, Mark

Scarce niche websites for link building
Hello! A small company from Mexico that offers cleaning services for home & businesses wants to rank on the first page of Google. The Good: Every month they give away stuff (discounts and/or a free service) and they also participate in campaigns that support non-profitable organizations & charity. So there is plenty of material for me to build some backlinks and to create some interesting content. Their competitors have 0 SEO. I have been doing my homework and none of their competitors websites that are ranking on the top 5 are doing any kind of SEO. But they have had their website for a long time and they probably have a decent amount of traffic per day. Open Site Explorer shows minimal to no websites pointing to them. Google Adwords has increased their sales. They are using virtually nothing as budget and it is helping, but they want organic SEO. The Bad: Blogs seem to be dead in Mexico. And that is one of my strongest ways to create backlinks. I usually get a blogger to write about the company I'm working for to create backlinks and works like a charm in countries were SEO is prehistoric. Usually it takes me very little effort to accomplish a website to rank very well in this kind of scenario, but I'm having trouble this time. The Something: I have been able to boost their rankings with basic SEO in a month but I'm stuck in page #2-5 on their most important keywords. The Ugly: I'm out of ideas. And their budget isn't good enough to apply paid strategies. Any ideas?

Disabling a website - What to do with "link juice"?
Hi I built a website for a client a long time ago now and for a number of reasons I have decided to shut down the website. None payment being one of the reasons! My question to all you SEO guru's out there is, what should I do with 301 redirects. The site is an e-commerce based website and my personal website is simply advertising my services and portfolio. If I 301 redirect all the traffic from the customer website, will there be any issue with Google (or any search engine) seeing that my website is receiving traffic for search phrases such as "Coffee Mugs"? I.e. abolutely no relevance at all to my website content! My worry is my site could be penalised for a flurry of thousands of redirected links. Also, if I redirect everything to my site and the customer decides to pay the bill in due course, I will then remove the redirects - I guess this will have a massive impact on the rankings of the site? Thanks for reading and any advice.

Where to begin (SEO-wise) with my Website?
Hello, We hired a company to design an e-commerce website for us. Along the way they did some initial SEO design, but we are clearly a long way from where we need to be. I'm not a web-designer or a knowledgeable SEO person. I have the website linked to webtools, google analytics and obviously this site as well. I've been toying with the idea of just trying to accomplish some SEO myself, but the more I read about SEO, the more daunting it seems. I'm a full-time military pilot, so this seems like it involves more time than I have to give. Where do I begin? My Website www.phoenixprintingsolutions.com Thanks in advance

Duplicate content, website authority and affiliates
We've got a dilemma at the moment with the content we supply to an affiliate. We currently supply the affiliate with our product database which includes everything about a product including the price, title, description and images. The affiliate then lists the products on their website and provides a Commission Junction link back to our ecommerce store which tracks any purchases with the affiliate getting a commission based on any sales via a cookie. This has been very successful for us in terms of sales but we've noticed a significant dip over the past year in ranking whilst the affiliate has achieved a peak...all eyes are pointing towards the Panda update. Whenever I type one of our 'uniquely written' product descriptions into Google, the affiliate website appears higher than ours suggesting Google has ranked them the authority. My question is, without writing unique content for the affiliate and changing the commission junction link. What would be the best option to be recognised as the authority of the content which we wrote in the first place? It always appears on our website first but Google seems to position the affiliate higher than us in the SERPS after a few weeks. The commission junction link is written like this: http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1428744-10475505?sid=shopp&url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/vango-calisto-600xl-tent.html
