Seo for my medium.com site
-
I have my regular site blog at www.Guideyourhealth.org and a blog on www.medium.com, should I try to get back links for my medium articles as well that are on topics not competing with my site?
-
The short answer to your query is no.
An exception could be unless the medium articles are contextual and have links pointing to www.guideyourhealth.org. Then the backlinks could enhance www.guideyourhealth.org.
That said should consider comments by effectdigital above.
Hope that assists.

From what I understand, the main advantage of a Medium blog is that it's embedded within the Medium community and has (pretty much) instant access to a small pool of users / readers, so the audience is semi built-in to the platform
I don't see how it could hurt to promote your medium blog, but if you can't think of a way to capitalise (commercially / financially) on a great Medium following, then maybe don't bother. What will you get out of it, in the end?
If it's just for vanity and big reading numbers, forget it. If you can think of a way to commercially leverage your Medium blog's following, go for it
-
If they're on-topic - yes, it can be a good thing as per of your content strategy.
-
To blog on topics outside of my niche in another niche market. I don't want them for my home site or links from my home site.
-
So you have a website www.guideyourhealth.org and also you have a blog on medium Medium. So the first question that comes to my mind is
- Why do you want backlinks to your medium blog? I mean is this blog part of your funnel? or part of your content promotion strategy?

SEO implications of off-site secure Donation page
Hi Mozzers, I have a non-profit client that defends wildlife and public lands in the western US. The huge website is currently not responsive so we are working on that. In the meantime, we will be making the Action pages (such as Donations, Sign Petition, Get Newsletter) pages responsive. This will be housed under a new domain. My question is, what are SEO best practices for doing this? Does it negatively impact SEO to have a visitor "booted" from a site to a second secure site? Does Google know that the Donation site is in fact fulfillment and is linked to the original site? Also, what about domain implications? Is it best to have the name of the non-profit in the domain or sub, like this: https://saveanimals.secure.com/donate? Thanks everyone!

Where Does Blogging Fit Into SEO
I read an article yesterday that said blogging comes under the heading of social media, which is at the top of the so called SEO pyramid. I have taken this to mean less time should be spent in social media compared to other areas of SEO. Yet content creation was at the bottom of the pyramid (more time allocation here). Isn't blogging part of content creation? I would have thought there is a limit to what can be done for service/product & landing pages. Whereas blogs are a great way to produce more unique content for a website. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks - Christina

Any Suggestions For My Site?
I've recently started a website that is based on movie posters. The site has fundamentally been built for users and not SEO but I'm wondering if anyone can see any problems or just general advice that may help with our SEO efforts? The "content" on the website are the movie posters. I know Google likes text content, but I don't see what else we could add that wouldn't be purely for SEO. My site is: http://www.bit.ly/ZSPbTA

What next with SEO
I've been working on my site for over 2 years and have some very good links and now have a PageRank 4. My site has fallen down from page 1 to page 4 for 'Web Design London' which may be due to not putting much work into link building in the last 6 months. The site is pretty well optimised onsite but there are less that 20 pages of content. With time constraints in place because I have to run the business, would it be better to increase the content, seek out more links or outsource the work. Ideally I would do both but money and time restrict this. If I was to outsource, do you have recommendations and rough prices? Thanks
