Fresh ideas on SEO budget spending
-
I have a client who is willing to spend an additional 5k into his SEO campaign.
I was curious if anyone has any other ideas on spending this in terms of link building. Human edited directories work really well and i have seen some huge successes. Unfortunately i have gotten stuck in purchasing these and would like some fresh ideas. Content is a no brainier.
-
What i really need is some really good talented copy writers. Any references? Please message me or email me.
-
Thanks thus far. Looks like im on the right path!
-
Agree with EGOL any type of link bait (like a calculator) is great. Also consider an infographic. We have published a few and I would describe them as moderately successful.
-
definitely thumbs up from me for datasheets / cheat sheets as well.
-
The calculator is a great idea. We have a Perl calculator that gets a lot of use and a couple of printable data sheets that are popular.
-
Another one I'd add to Egol's response is to consider some kind of tool if it is suitable for their market. Strictly it's still content, but online tools fall outside of what most people think of. A well thought out and useful one can generate quality links for the long term.
Remember to leave budget to get traction for whatever you build too.

Content is a no brainier.
The client should prepare articles on the most important things that his clients don't know that they don't know. These should be kickass articles that make everyone who reads them say WOW!
The $5K should be spent on professional editing, a photographer to get great photos, an illustrator to make the graphics that are needed.
If you have another $5K spend it on articles that cover the most important things that his clients should know to get started with his service/product.
If you have another $5K get the best articles storyboarded and shoot video for youtube.

Is hiring bloggers to review my products while back linking to my website bad for SEO?
For many months I have been following this strategy of hiring high domain authority bloggers to review my products and link back to my website. For a month or two my rankings improved but now I suddenly lost rankings. Can Google penalize me for hiring bloggers to review my products? Bloggers do mention in the blog that the product was requested for editorial review. Any tips will be helpful. Regards

SEO Package: Good Value?
I'm having a real hard time trying to dig through all the BS and find a reputable SEO company that delivers quality and value. Anyway, here's a package that I'm considering from a company called eBrandz. It seems a bit overpriced to me, but I don't have a lot of experience with reputable SEO companies, so I'm hoping someone can weigh in - on both the package itself for the price, and the company (if you have any information about them). $1500/month 8 Guest Posts (With 80 Bookmarks) 8 Articles with Syndication (With 80 Bookmarks) 1 Press Release (With Bookmarking) 75 "Curated Business Directory Submissions" Social Bookmarking for 5 Urls (Each Url to 20 Sites) 1 (every other month) Video Creation (45 to 90 seconds) With Submission and Bookmarking.

Should I use RSS Feeds for SEO Purposes?
Hello... I am wondering if RSS feeds are good for SEO purposes... If i have a blog on my e-commerce site that links back into my site, should i then submit my feed to a bunch of RSS feed sites? Please tell me if i should be submitting my feed to all the RSS Feed Blog directories i can find or if that will appear as though i'm trying to gain links in the wrong way, from Google's perspective. For example: http://www.feedage.com/ http://www.feedlisting.com/ .... just to name a few of the directories i've found Thanks

How important are directory submissions to my off-page SEO?
Hi Guys, One area of my link building that I carry out is looking for online directories and social bookmarking websites to submit my website to. I do this in order to gain some backlinks to my website. What I want to know is are they really worth my time, and if so, which types would you say are the most important? I have obviously been through many directory lists, both on SEOmoz and on other websites, and also performed various searches to find relevant directories to my website. I just feel that posting up a link that lies deep in a directory online that, more often than not, have very low PA and lots of outbound links will offer very little in terms of SEO. If anything, this could really bring down the quality of my links and be detrimental to my website, right? This is a subject that I have been thinking about for a while and especially with the recent algorithm update from Google and the attack on many web directories that are, lets say, 'not playing by the rules', I'm worried that this will have a negative impact for my website. Let me know your thoughts guys and if you have any tips on how to get higher quality links from these kind of submission then I'm all ears! Matt.
