Hi Diane.
I was curious so I took a look at the site.
Basic package - the only service they provide is to submit your sitemap 12x per month. Very simple and cheap sitemap software will do this for you free as many times as you want. No value at all. Not really worth mentioning but they submit to 100 search engines. Since Bing+Yahoo+Google = 98% of traffic, and Ask = 1%, the rest really don't matter.
I looked at their remaining packages and I see nothing of any tangible benefit to a SEOmoz PRO member.
Looking at their reviews, 25 of 49 reviews offer a 1 out of 5 star rating. http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/123_reg_co_uk__5111134
Is This Service a Waste Of Money
I haven't used the service but everything I looked at seems to indicate it is worth purchasing.

Pip your competitors to the post
I have no idea what that is but it sounds really, really cool. If they're going to do that, what else do you need?
For engines that matter you don't need to submit anything. In fact, I would just go about getting your links and you'll be found anyways. You don't need this service.

many thanks for the advice

I would not, get a link to your site and all search engines will find it.
all these services are just value adding, makeing money out of peoples fears and lack of knoladge,

Nothing spectacular here. It is just a standard search engine submission service. How in the world can they offer any thing more - in terms of organic search. Either that or they would probably put the website up on their network of site to drive some traffic through.

Home Page Ranking Instead of Service Pages
Hi everyone! I've noticed that many of our clients have pages addressing specific queries related to specific services on their websites, but that the Home Page is increasingly showing as the "ranking" page. For example, a plastic surgeon we work with has a page specifically talking about his breast augmentation procedure for Miami, FL but instead of THAT page showing in the search results, Google is using his home page. Noticing this across the board. Any insights? Should we still be optimizing these specific service pages? Should I be spending time trying to make sure Google ranks the page specifically addressing that query because it SHOULD perform better? Thanks for the help. Confused SEO :/, Ricky Shockley

Any tips to maximize the SEO benefit of a 3d model embed service (e.g Matterport) for a realty site?
Hi All, My client grabbed a Matterport camera and I'm trying to get the most out of the embedded models from an SEO standpoint. Other than slapping alt text on iframes, the only thing I turned up was a wordpress plugin that appears to point links you share of the embed (not just the page it is on) back to your own website instead of matterport's. Any thoughts appreciated.

Content Aggregator Services....good or bad for seo?
I've just had a demo from a content aggregator service called NewsCred. Essentially the service licenses the use of content from multiple sources on our own site. They claim that as the content is all properly referenced back to the original sites there are no SEO implication to the host site. Are they correct? Should we stay away?

Newspaper Article Placement Services
Has anyone here used Newspaper Article Placement Services or NAPS as they are commonly called? I was looking for a way to generate direct traffic to the site and our demographic still reads a fair amount of the printed word. My concern is that if these items get into the websites of these newspapers I could run into a duplicate issue. We have some quality writers who can generate some great content that we already use on our site. We are looking for a way to expand into the printed world. Thanks!

My clients website od 100% Flash...Will my SEO efforts be wasted?
My client has a Photography website and has an al carte design. It's in Flash and in 3 years only 3 pages of say 50 are indexed. Are my efforts being wasted?Should I redesign the site in an SEO friendly language? Or, if I build out a huge link building campaign it doesn't matter if I am in Flash or not? Thanks
