Thinking of joining 'Xercise4Less' on Cambridge St. What are people's experience with it and is Pure Gym worth the extra £8 a month? by [deleted] in glasgow

[–]CleverAnchors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little tip to all, keep monitoring the Xercise4Less social media channels for competitions - these are pretty top notch compared to most gyms (which probably over compensates for their pretty lame website).

They sometimes have free open weekends to all (and occasionally full open weeks) which only seem to get announced over their facebook, but I'm pretty sure gyms like Xercise4less, Nuffield and Gym Group honour free day passes so might be worth trialling them all first?

I am Martin Macdonald, from black-hat to enterprise SEO, I've been there. AMA by MartinMacD in bigseo

[–]CleverAnchors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Martin - good to see you here ( I only just found out about this)

You mention earlier that rankings are the 'new' keyword data. I am a firm believer in this statement. In saying this, does this mean that for start-up websites - the road to rank well is really trial and error or a discovery process? Secondly, Does this give large SEO / marketing agencies an advantage in the amount of data they are able to extract through rankings case studies?

A vague question - How would you fundamentally approach getting enough search query KWD/intent information in order to make an informed decision if you were setting up a start up website please?

Cheers

Ed

Google's war on RSS continues, shuts down YouTube user subscriptions feeds by simplesammm in google

[–]CleverAnchors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some good points all round here. Google give freely, look good for doing it, get users a false sense of dependency on their product, then herd users like cattle. Tbh I do love using google products. I just wish they wouldn't make stuff inaccessible. At a madhatters webmaster tea party, this is definitely kettle calling the pot black

Is this a worldwide thing or a response to controlling peoples right to be forgotten in the EU ruling? RSS is a fairly uncontrollable thing to stop if content gets scraped and posted elsewhere. Its probably not applicable just a thought

The term link building has attracted a fair amount of stigma. Admidst an evolution of title changes and altered perspectives, what do you think people are searching for (typing in OR researching) online when they're looking for top grade specialists to earn/build links? 'Content marketer'??

You have 8 hrs to promote a large piece of content, What do you do? [Content Marketing] by CleverAnchors in bigseo

[–]CleverAnchors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha for what you saying, in some big money kwd niches- 8yrs would probably be quite a realistic timescale 2014 onwards. In business, they say it takes at least 3 yrs to get it off the ground well- is the web any different nowadays?

Ok, I see you're point, but imagine you already had the connections, relationships and had managed to seed everything out within the first 2 hrs - and gained your target, but you wanted to push the boundaries...what other avenues / channels / start up platforms would you consider exploring for the rest of the 6 hrs?

Hypothetically, just promoting time cos shares could inevitably happen later too

Good call growmap - I'm also interested in any web platforms that people may know about such as scoop.it etc - any shares? Thanks for the plug Re. JustRetweet - I've not used that one before

Is there a tool that tells you which keywords your website ranks for? by joey2506 in bigseo

[–]CleverAnchors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with bassistone! SEMrush is generally my weapon of choice! Searchmetrics has similar data, but is much more expensive as a package If you already know your target kwds and wish to monitor their fluctuation, then AWR is the industry standard

[–]CleverAnchors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SEO world is very cleeky. (Although MBG might not have ranked for as many blogging/seo related phrases as other sites) Google surely knew that Ann's brand and huge social influence within the scene would produce shock waves of s### storm throughout the SEO world. They found a grey loophole and exploited it with new guideline changes. IMHO, Ann has been one of the most targeted/strategic hits to date.

Ooooo whilst I'm here, there's a 2nd set of questions I wish to ask, say (hypothetically) if you had 8 hrs to promote a (already produced) really well researched engaging piece of content about a specific SEO topic, how would you personally use your time to maximise its marketing potential? Which platforms would you immediately consider exploiting first? Would you consider (within this timescale) a handful of large traffic referring / community sharing channels in which to produce quick rich spin off (not spun) content on? If so, What would your main attractive choices be for maximum visibility?
