Wanna get a whole bunch of links for pretty much the same content? Let me show you how. There’s lots of posts on how to repurpose content out there, but this one is specifically how to do it as long as it makes sense for SEO. The reason why you want to repurpose content is that you can – in most cases – leave a link on the platform (site, blog, service, whatever) that you distribute your content to. Since you need just one link from each domain, it’s OK if you repurpose your content (different one) just a few times on every platform. I’m saying a few times (not once) just in case one of your links gets removed for some reason. (more…)

Screaming Frog Tool Review
You may be building links for your site like crazy, but if your on-page SEO is ruined, you’ll have a really hard time winning over your competitors. The other day I had a chance to use the Screaming Frog tool, which allows you to actually see what is wrong with your site in terms of on-page SEO and what exactly you need to fix on your site first thing tomorrow morning. The Screaming SEO tool also has some ‘issues’, which I’ll tackle down in the post. And one more thing. If you think that the same info is available in Google Webmaster Tools, you’re not exactly right, because it takes GWT too long – as opposed to Screaming Frog – to the date you need.

Why the CSS Directory Approach Sucks
If you’re one of those SEOs who think about promoting his or her sites via submitting to CSS directories, think again. The point is that the idea of submiting sites to CSS directories sounds really good, because you just need to get a list of those directories (or just create it by searching in Google) and hit the submit button. Well, you also need to fill out all the forms and add your screenshot thumbnail, but anyway that’s not too much work compared to other methods. And that kinda sounds too good to be true. It looked like pure gold to me. But as they say, beauty is just skin-deep. (more…)

What is Yext Good for?
Do you like doing the same thing over and over again just because you have to? I’m sure I can guess your answer, because I feel the same way about it. If you’re a small business owner with listings on all sorts of sites for local search rankings, you have to update all those listings every single time you get a new phone number or a menu item, you have to update all those 100+ sites with your listings. What if you could update all of them from one single dashboard? Well, now you can! Plus you also can make your listings more robust by adding features that your competitors don’t have. (more…)

How to Setup a Local Server on Your Mac
We’ve already covered the topic of installing a local server on a PC and since I don’t want to be one of those who disses Mac users we’re going to learn how to setup a server on a Mac (we’ll use MAMP for that). MAMP stands for Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. As everything on Mac, it’s gonna be really easy and you’re not supposed to have a Ph.D in any discipline to cope with that. Now, why bother at all? Well, you may need a local server on your Mac if you want to test-drive some WordPress plugins or widgets. Alternatively, you may want to tweak some settings on your WordPress but you don’t really feel comfortable doing that on a live site.

Local SEO Expert and Why You Wanna Be One
Are you a local SEO expert? No? That’s actually too bad. You’re LITERALLY leaving money on the table. You know why? The point is that you really need that sort of skills. The reason for that is because if you’re well-versed with that aspect of our trade you can work as a local SEO consultant in your local area. You can find clients left and right in that case. You can just go to your closest brick and mortar store and offer your services. And that’s instead of finding customers on the web. Make use of that advantage. In other words, you’ll be able to combine what you like (visiting your favorite stores and using services) with what you need, which is finding customers. (more…)

How to Prepare Your Email Marketing Strategy for Mobile
This is a guest post by Aidan Hijleh.
These days, you never know what device a subscriber will be reading your email on. Could be their laptop, but it could also be a smartphone, tablet, or a range of other gadgets. According to Nielson, over 50% of mobile users are checking email on their devices multiple times per day. The opportunities are there, but as other evidence suggests, marketers are not taking advantage. 80% of people said that reading business-related emails is more of a hassle on a mobile device than it is on a desktop PC, according to a report on MarketingTechBlog.com.

SEO Logo for My Site Got Me Customers
SEO logo creation can be a daunting task if you do it wrong. I finally made up my mind to have a logo created for my site (WebDesy.com), because the one that I had before was really lame. I just wanna share my experience, because I spent a whole lot of time investigating how to do it right. What’s really cool is that once I got a really professionally looking logo, I started getting more customers for my SEO services (content promotion and guest blogging). I guess it’s because if you have a decent logo your whole site starts looking in a totally different way. So, I highly encourage having a logo created for your site rather than making one on you own.
