How to create SEO budget?
-
If I see the site which has 8,000 links from unique domains (RDD in Market Samurai).
How much could it cost to build such amount of links? How long does it take?
What SEO budget will be based on these data?

The numbers by themselves are meaningless. Read my response again - look closely at the sites that are linking to them: Why are they linking? What's in it for them? Could you do the same? Could you apply that same process to another site that they don't have a link from? Can you take that idea further - change it to put a new spin on it?
You can't win at SEO my chasing the links of competitors. You will always be playing catch up, you will never get every link and you'll never get ahead. However you can learn from those links and take their strategies rather than their links.
When you have a strategy then budgeting starts to make sense.

Hi
It's really difficult to say that what should be the SEO budget !!!
You should not make useless bulk of links for your site. Only links are not important if they do not fulfill Google's requirements. So be careful about link building.
Thanks

Don't be fooled in to thinking that it is about the number of links. It never has been and it is probably less so now than ever. You could build 8000 links very cheaply and very easily if that was the only thing that was important. However it probably wouldn't help.
Start looking at what the links are rather than how many of them there are. What are their 10 best links? What would it take to get links like or better than those? What about their top 50 links? At least assume that it is only authentic looking links that are going to help and then start thinking about what you can do to match or better those. The methods used will depend on the market and your website. The cost will depend on the methods and how well you do it.
I know that you were probably looking for an answer in $, but it's impossible to say and pointless to do so.

Crawl Budget and Faceted Navigation
Hi, we have an ecommerce website with facetted navigation for the various options available. Google has 3.4 million webpages indexed. Many of which are over 90% duplicates. Due to the low domain authority (15/100) Google is only crawling around 4,500 webpages per day, which we would like to improve/increase. We know, in order not to waste crawl budget we should use the robots.txt to disallow parameter URL’s (i.e. ?option=, ?search= etc..). This makes sense as it would resolve many of the duplicate content issues and force Google to only crawl the main category, product pages etc. However, having looked at the Google Search Console these pages are getting a significant amount of organic traffic on a monthly basis. Is it worth disallowing these parameter URL’s in robots.txt, and hoping that this solves our crawl budget issues, thus helping to index and rank the most important webpages in less time. Or is there a better solution? Many thanks in advance. Lee.

Regarding SEO Structured Data
1. Should we add organization schema on all pages of the website OR just homepage? 2. What is the best practice for catalog page schema as every website is following a different pattern?

Why is hosting good for SEO?
I've heard a few people mention this now. I have seen hosting packages range from £5 to £1000 per month, and I understand that each comes with their own amounts of storage space, bandwidth and all. Now I understand that page speed is important to SEO and the type of hosting will dictate your page speed, but other than this why is hosting important to SEO?

Merging Pages and SEO
Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | viatrading1
e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,0 -
International SEO Question
_The company I work for has a website www.example.com that ranks very well in English speaking countries - US, UK, CA. For legal reasons, we now need to create www.example.co.uk to be accessible and rank in google.co.uk. Obviously we want this change to be as smooth as possible with little effect on rankings in the UK. We have two options that we're talking through at the moment - Use the hreflang tag on both the .com and the .co.uk to tell Google which site to rank in each country. My worry with this is that we might lose our rankings in the UK as it will be a brand new site with little to no links pointing to it. 301 redirect to the .co.uk based on UK IP addresses. I'm skeptical about this. As a 301 passes most of the link juice, I'm not sure how Google would treat this type of thing - would the .com lose ranking? So my questions are - would we lose ranking in the UK if we use option 1? Would option 2 work? What would you do? Any help is appreciated._

Frames and SEO
In the old days frames were a problem because they could end up being orphaned pages that get indexed and appear in the SERPS but had to navigation so they were useless. Are frames still a problem with Google and if so what are the suggested solutions?
