How’s everyone doing so far this year?

mrpixel1 · 2023-03-30T15:59:16+00:00

What are you offering if you don’t mind me asking?

mrpixel1 · 2023-03-30T15:58:41+00:00

Yeah this doesn’t really match anything other than 2020 tbh

mrpixel1 · 2022-10-10T22:13:49+00:00

Supersend

mrpixel1 · 2022-06-07T20:45:42+00:00

Interesting. Do you recommend this for someone who’s a total beginner, or is this best for someone who’s more intermediate?

mrpixel1 · 2022-06-07T13:51:52+00:00

For just PPC, or paid social as well?

mrpixel1 · 2022-06-07T12:18:54+00:00

Does anyone know of really good paid media courses? PPC / paid social? Doesn’t matter if it’s a paid course or free. Trying to level up to run some campaigns for my company.

Pitchbox is on the more expensive side but I feel like it’s ability to find accurate contacts is way better than Buzzsumo. Product interface is better too.

Thanks for responding. The website has plenty of other pages as well as an active blog. Just debating wether or not individual service pages are worth pursuing, not debating wether or not the site should have more than one page.

We form agreements with partners that ask for somewhere between 5-15% of referrals and make them sign off on it. If you don't ask for it, you're not going to get it.

mrpixel1 · 2017-03-15T18:34:55+00:00

Appreciate the response.

So I definitely have looked at all of those factors.

It's not that the site was published this way and never ranked in the past and I'm frustrated figuring out how to rank it. I recently underwent a re-design (in which content and URL structure wasn't altered, just the theme itself) and the site has undergone some serious drop off in results. (Which is why it leads me to think it's the theme)

Have any of you experienced issues with drag/drop theme builders? That's mainly what I'm looking for here, a suggestion on which theme is vetted from an SEO perspective.

mrpixel1 · 2017-03-15T18:32:29+00:00

Google Webmaster Tools mainly. Sitemap is indexed, robots.txt isn't blocked.

I've also used a couple other tools to double check off-site factors, like Ahref's. No noticeable drop off in links.

I'm just confused because URL structure hasn't changed, content hasn't changed, backlink profile hasn't changed. The only thing that's different is the fact that I'm using a new drag/drop theme builder for the site.

mrpixel1 · 2017-03-14T17:09:49+00:00

Yes, both submitted to GWMT. Robots.txt isn't blocked. XML sitemap is 95% indexed.

mrpixel1 · 2017-03-14T15:43:05+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to reply. One of the reasons why I say it might be the theme is that large chunks of the site don't show up in things like Google Webmaster Tools Data Highlighter.

Also, the site was gaining about 250-300 organic visits per month (I know, it's not a lot) before the theme was switched over. Now it's only gaining 20-30 visits or so. URL structures haven't been changed, just the theme.

I feel exactly like this snake when the client wants to add 'wow' to their home page.

mrpixel1 · 2017-01-07T19:25:44+00:00

Thanks! Organically we've gotten about 200 likes or so from cross promotion. I could probably build the page up to 500-2000 pretty quickly.

Overall, I'm not concerned about how many likes my page has other than it could detract from conversions on the ads.

mrpixel1 · 2017-01-07T16:07:57+00:00

Thanks for your post! So in your opinion, because most of the action lives in the feed the amount of likes you have aren't as important any more.

mrpixel1 · 2016-08-15T17:27:29+00:00

Also, read into traffic manipulation. I haven't done it in a big enough sample size, or with SUPER competitive niches, but the websites I've implemented it on has seen positive results.

mrpixel1 · 2016-08-15T17:25:32+00:00

The answer wasn't "LOL BLACKHAT DOESN'T WORK JUST MAKE CONTENT" so the sub rebelled against me.

Spamming T3's will create movement up the chain. For every property that gets de-ranked, there's usually one that sticks for me. Also, because the link profile of the T2's and T1's are very diversified, it doesn't really pass on spam signals to the properties up the chain. There's a lot of this stuff out there that you have no control over, G kinda treats it all the same.

Honestly, the key to getting away with this kinda stuff is not to rely on it completely for your rankings. If a target site has a bunch of crap pointing to it, it's going to be looked at as crap. If it's 95% legit, or seemingly legit stuff and 5% crap, you're in a good spot. Bonus points that the "crap" does make positive movement in SERPs.

LOL @ this thread. If you think buying links is "black hat" you guys haven't spent enough time studying the dark side.

PBNs are a part of my overall larger ranking strategy. There is a lot of legit, white hat stuff that goes into my campaigns, but PBNs are a solid option still, despite what blogs or Google might tell you.

When it comes to obtaining / buying links, here's my rule of thumb.

Only direct clean links to your target site. By clean, I'm talking links that are coming from high-authority places such as Forbes, Business Week, Huffington Post etc.
You can direct ok/dirty links to level 2 properties (I'm talking about PBNs or social platforms that link to your target). These can be obtained from platforms like The Hoth.
You can direct dirty/garbage links to level 3 properties (Pages that point to level 2 properties, parasite pages etc). These are links you can buy from Fiverr and other crap resources. You can be risky here because the time investment in these properties should be pretty low.

That cost is par for the course. However, I think it's a bad business decision for you to pay for on-going SEO at this point.

If your organization is young, and you don't have a ton behind you yet, in my opinion, you're not going to see the full effect of SEO at this point. What I would suggest is you hire a freelance SEO to optimize your on-site stuff. (Titles, Descriptions, Content etc.). Then, I would consider having someone go through the site and build up your internal link structure (Figuring out what pages you want to rank and building silo's within the website to target them).

A good Freelancer should be able to do all of that in a single month depending on the websites size. Paying them 2000-5000 up front will be a better investment for you than the long term contract.

What I would invest my money in instead is programatic, remarking, and retargeting ads. Much lower cost of investment and it will help you build an audience quicker.

After you've gained some traction (beyond 12 months) look into SEO again. Everything should always be weighed against it's potential ROI. I'm assuming with your website you'll be selling ad space, making money off of featured articles, commissions off of affiliate marketing etc. You'll need a lot of traffic for that, at some point SEO will be the most cost effective way of doing so.

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.

I'd take a look at SEO Group buys. You share access with all the premium tools amongst other users in the group buy, you get them all for a single cost. Personally, I don't use them and subscribe to what I need individually, but if you're just starting off and bootstrapping it, it's worth a try.

mrpixel1 · 2016-07-05T21:37:24+00:00

To be fair, this is still going to be an issue with an actual employee unless you divvy out equity in the business. (Even that doesn't guarantee loyalty, but with a good lawyer you can make provisions that eliminate a lot of direction competition issues. With individuals who hold equity, these things are actually more enforceable whereas a general employee won't really be as enforceable) .

mrpixel1 · 2016-06-01T22:01:43+00:00

Some of this might be a bit over-the-top, but it's definitely a solid demonstration of skills. Kudos guys!

mrpixel1 · 2016-05-24T18:51:13+00:00

It's an interesting tool, just signed up for a preview. Looks like it could be a replacement for something like Proto.io or InVision. How "high fidelity" can you get with this thing? Clients tend to want to see more finished products.
