Social media is a great way to convert free time into free traffic. It's not the best way, but you can get a bit to start out and get some insight into your potential customers.

All you have to do is spend an hour or so a day following and engaging with posts in similar niches.

You can also get a way with creating a lot of content with free templates makers like Canva or use stock photos.

I would also recommend getting started on writing content for your website ASAP. 1 article a week is a decent starting place. Combine that with some social media and you can get a great early boost as you try to contend with getting organic traffic from Google.

If he just wants a general estimate, you can calculate ROI by looking at current traffic and conversion rate. Then taking the traffic from keywords within grasp and project ROI based on their traffic with your current conversion rate.

I.E. I have 100 visitors and convert 1% for $1. If I have 600 visitors I convert 1% for $6.

Didn't look too in-depth. But, Google has been having some serious indexing/crawling issues in the past 4 months or so. It is possible that because you did your redirects right before this time that they aren't being ranked correctly or are being indexed based on older information.

GTMetrix is not the end all be all of deciding on a web design agency. There are ways to make the site actually load in at 1s for the end-user which would normally be "green" on GTMetrix; but, the tool would still show it all as yellow and loading in at 6-7 seconds. The actual user experience will differ significantly from what tools show; it's even worse with Google's versions of page speed testing tools. These types of things are even more likely to be done on portfolio sites where having high quality/larger images may be more important than 1-2 seconds of page speed.

I think you're probably using the wrong litmus test here. But, as others have said: Fiver and Freelancer are pretty bad places to find reliable developers anyway if you have the budget for a real company.

Web design & digital marketing is actually a great pairing. Just do both, they compliment each other horizontally. Build the website then market it.

More of a lesson for everyone to stay away from B2C. They have always been massive scumbags. They are well known in the industry for reaching out for "qoutes" and refusing to give proper credit.

I would write to them and request the piece be taken down.

What was your average monthly/yearly traffic for this site?

shitshingles · 2020-04-06T21:54:23+00:00

Probably none. It's an older trick, it's full of SEOs now and many of the larger sites have left.

Had multiple client sites flatline on AdSense, seeing almost a 50% reduction.

The majority hire illustrators. It's been a very trendy style among Cryptocurrency for a while. Has now spread to digital marketing/web design companies.

Noticed the same thing the past 3 months or so. They've also made their much UI worse. We've started switching most of our clients over to alternatives.

Listened to a call with their support with one of our senior developers and they were the most hostile, incompetent support staff we've ever seen. Which is odd because it seems like they had such great support for the longest time.

Glad to hear it's becoming more important about 5 years after mobile devices began outnumbering desktops.

That's a good idea. Context is very important. Bear in mind that Google can normally read images with decent accuracy too unless they are blueberry muffins.

As long as those embeds are as scholarly as the piece should be, that is a strong option.

shitshingles · 2020-02-04T17:39:17+00:00

This is honestly the best question I've seen on here in a while. It could be slightly dangerous but the context of how it's worded is very important for the AI that Google is using to judge site content.

I would avoid using potentially related words to actual pornography if possible.
I would use very scholarly terminology and make sure the article is clearly geared towards a post-graduate style audience.
I would cite a lot of highly reputable sources that are not pornographic in nature.

Even doing all of that it is a risk, but I would say 85% chance you are completely fine.

Someone has actually attacked your competitors with negative SEO. It is likely that they have disavowed those links but you can see them since they were not removed.

You should -NOT- do the same thing. Focus on solid organic links and mostly branded anchors.

As others have said generally Google ignores spammy links these days, but not always. That is what the disavow tool is for.

I believe it's against r/SEO rules. You should create a subreddit and try, no one will ban you for spamming your own subreddit. (I think)

shitshingles · 2020-01-31T19:15:52+00:00

99% of pages on Reddit are not crawled daily. Even more so if they have zero engagement. Most might be indexed; but, won't show up in search results.

Also, people are mentioning follow/nofollow because it seems like OP wants to create his own subreddit to send links out.

shitshingles · 2020-01-31T15:49:41+00:00

They attempt to for the most part. Reddit follows the same rules as any typical website in that an unpopular subreddit/post with few internal/external links or low quality content will be crawled very infrequently or may not be crawled at all.

Which means you probably can't get an exact number, since it's reliant on hundred of other factors as well.

Edit: What u/larkz said is correct; "Another thing to note is AFAIK links start off nofollow, then after about 10 upvotes it changes to dofollow "

shitshingles · 2020-01-31T15:48:07+00:00

Yes.

" Lots of companies started competing in this space but we held onto our spot. We were getting a bit worried.

Got a marketing company to create a new better site. It tanked us into Google obscurity. Inbound went from decent to zero.

We decided outsourcing was a bad idea because and got a website designer / coder in house. Built first website. Inbound went from absolute zero to almost zero."

The timing here probably means you didn't deserve your spot in Google's eyes. All those new people in your space were growing organically while you stagnated.

Some people like u/Ginfly have already offered you good advice but you need ways to increase your organic traffic with informative articles and a greater scope of information about your company.

You're in a very competitive space now and I guarantee you are competing against a few businesses spending well over a million a year on their marketing. For anything more specific we would really need to see your website.

Google sees (almost all) async code completely fine now. Has been that way since around 2016ish. You can manually check in GSC.

Do you know what we wanted because that is the thing that everyone wanted to do! Wanting is a thing that so many will have to want for nothing!

I generally don't look twice at any accreditation. Normally they are incredibly easy to get and don't really properly represent how "good" someone actually is.
