Guru Needed
-
Hello,
We are interested in finding someone experienced in SEO, who is willing to take a look at my work that I am doing for my employer, on an ongoing basis. This would help me ensure that I am on the right track and we are doing the right thing.
Even tough I have some knowledge with SEO, I am still novice in the field. I also have background in marketing and management. I believe by having someone to mentor, would help me to grow professionally, as I feel very passionate about SEO, but to also deliver good work to my employer.
I believe someone's experience, reviews and suggestions about our campaigns can help, and I would not expect someone to give out their time freely. Therefore, if required we could talk about a financial agreement.
Thank you for your time, and looking for your replies.
Monica

Monica, you should see if EGOL will be your guy! I believe it states in his Moz bio that he LOVES that type of work.
Juuuuust kidding!!! But seriously, he made some great points!! Best of luck

ABSOLUTELY great Egol advice here.....especially on the 'variance' you'd find by filtering thru common counsel for the 'style' that you like for you and yours....
Read...learn...test...then rank...and repeat!

Ask LOTS of questions here.
Pay close attention to who gives good and generous answers.
You will see that different people have different answers and different styles. Different answers does not mean that one is wrong but a lot of the answers that you receive will not be "best answers" in general or not be the "best answer" for you. Still, different answers are informative.
Seeing a diversity is important.
After you have asked LOTS of questions you might realize that someone has a style that you like and gives answers that you believe are valuable - and get lots of thumbs-up from members. That is when I would select a person for paid consultations.
All of the people who I have paid for consultations have first demonstrated to me in forums that they know their stuff and have respect of their peers. After this type of screening of consultants I have not been disappointed. However, if I would have hired people without this screening I would have been disappointed many times. Why? Much of the free advice given on forums is bad advice or not good advice for you.
Read the profile of anyone who you consider hiring. Some are available for clients. Some are not. Go to their website if they list one and look at it critically. You can get fantastic assistance from many of the members here, but be careful to be sure that you get the right person for you.
Good luck.

Hi Monica,
Don't forget you can always ask on here and it wont cost a penny, if however you don't want to share all the secret shenanigans you can also PM people if you wanted advice, best to ask first though! I've seen your site before where you've posted problems etc. so hopefully it can still work for you and the bonus is you get even more experts to help!
All the best.

Hey Monica
Great decision!! A "professional" second set of eyes is always the best approach regarding online marketing. I would suggest that you go through the Moz Recommended companies and call around to find the best fit.
Also (if you haven't already) check out this WBF about the topic. Hope this helps you find the right fit!
Cheers!

Do I need to re-index the page after editing URL?
Hi, I had to edit some of the URLs. But, google is still showing my old URL in search results for certain keywords, which ofc get 404. By crawling with ScremingFrog it gets me 301 'page not found' and still giving old URLs. Why is that? And do I need to re-index pages with new URLs? Is 'fetch as Google' enough to do that or any other advice? Thanks a lot, hope the topic will help to someone else too. Dusan

A/B Split Testing - Rankings Drop? Need an expert opinion...
We are running an A/B split test (Started on 12/12), and a few days after we started the test, we fell from position 9/10 (about 3 weeks on page 1) to position 11/13, and we've been there ever since. We are still running the test. We disallowed the test page in robots.txt, but that's all. no canonical no noindex

-no Google Experiments code. Theoretically, Google could crawl the site, and find the page, but then the page is disallowed. The alternate page is not indexed. Could this explain the rankings drop?1 -

Penguin 2.1\. Bad links removed - do I need to wait for next Penguin upgrade to see recovery?
Hi - I have read conflicting advice about this issue - after taking action and removing bad links following a Penguin 2.1 hit, will the site need to wait for the next Penguin upgrade before the link clean-up has any effect? Or will the cleaning of the links be acknowledged and "rewarded" with a ranking improvement before that (assuming all bad links were cleared out)?

Need help with duplicate content. Same content; different locations.
We have 2 sites that will have duplicate content (e.g., one company that sells the same products under two different brand names for legal reasons). The two companies are in different geographical areas, but the client will put the same content on each page because they're the same product. What is the best way to handle this? Thanks a lot.
