Has Anyone Used Boostability?
-
Looking into Boostabilty as an option for doing SEO for our clients, will still keep SEOmoz and will still be doing SEO for our own company. Has anyone used it or heard things about it? I am very skeptical when it comes to outsourcing SEO and when it comes to any kind of automated SEO but thought I'd ask if anyone had thoughts on it.
Thanks,
Holly

Just a quick note that all links in Q&A are nofollowed.

My only experience with them is getting e-mails from Disqus when they've added another generic comment to my blog, linking to a competitor. This has happened about a dozen times over the past several years, so they either do this a lot, or happen to work in my niche a lot (which, by the way, is usually well behind the curve in the digital marketing realm).
They might do fantastic work in other realms, but this alone would preclude my ever working with or recommending them.

Great response Danaglenn! Can you send me some of your program info? I might have a couple people that could use your assistance. Yes, I'm being totally serious.

It is not my intention to begin an argument and I’m sure it was not your intention either. I am glad that you began your previous post with, “First off, I've never used their service, so I don't have any facts.” However, I did feel misrepresented by your first post. I hope I can just clarify my previous response.
- The slash at the end of the code is for tracking purposes. Add "/anything" and it will resolve. This is a common and accepted method of tracking affiliates and resellers.
- You claimed slim content, which I feel is untrue about our site as whole. I get that the term "slim" is relative, but it should be understood that some pages are bound to be shorter, depending on the purpose of the page. The goal with the content is to get them to read and call. Not overload our target audience, small business clients, with information they don't want. That particular page is mostly marketing copy, and serves its intended purpose. But with 60+ pages on the site, there are many pages that are NOT slim content.
- The 3rd point was taken out of context, as our claim for was results was"6/9 keywords in the top 5 results, 9/9 on first two pages." Being in the 4th spot for that keyword, this holds true. The rank for that client is appropriate based on their monthly spend monthly spend, time spent optimizing, and the client's goals. This client insisted that we target additional keywords because they were so thrilled with what we were able to do.
- We don’t link out because it's not good marketing practice to send potential clients to other websites, away from the site we designed to help build our client base.
Holly, thanks for your interest. We’d love to have the opportunity to show you what we offer.

"Most of what the previous poster is not true."
- Two versions of website
- Very slim content
- See link above
- Only rank #4 for the main keyword...
- See attached
- Don't link out at all
- Who do you link out to?
I'm not sure where I was dishonest.

First off, I've never used their service, so I don't have any facts.
However, this is what I caught right away:
- two versions of website ( .com and .com/)
- Very slim content that only talks about importance
- Only rank #4 for the main keyword in first case study (43/100 difficulty level)
- Don't link out at all (Minus BBB)

Heading Tags (Specifically H2) being used within images
Hello, Mozzers I have a question regarding placement of heading tags. I have seen this asked a few times on the forum but some are from a couple years ago so wanted to get a more up to date answer regarding this. We want to add H2 tags across our site but our two options are to wrap images we are using as navigation on the top of the page, these are directly below our pages H1 tag and actually make sense. Example H1 title: Vehicles Images are specific brand logo with H2 being wrapped to pull the img alt: "Ford Vehicles" "Checvy vehicles" etc. The wrap would look something like this: I appreciate your time, Chris

Infinite 302 redirects on a site using Angular JS
I'm not quite sure what I'm seeing here. It's a site that uses Angular JS (version 1) and the crawl is showing infinite 302 redirects, but the redirects are all to the same URL? Here's an example: https://www.razoo.com/us/story/Armco-Park-Foundation Has anyone seen this before? What causes it and how do I counsel the client on how to fix it?

Using two 404 NOT FOUND pages
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you can advise whether it's no issue to use two separate custom 404 pages. The 404 pages would be different for different parts of the site. For instance, if you're on /community/ and you enter a non-existing page on: www.sample.com/community/example/ it would give you a different 404 page than someone who runs into a non existing page at: www.sample.com/definition/example/ Does anybody have experience with this and would this be fine?

Using subdomains for related landing pages?
Seeking subdomain usage and related SEO advice... I'd like to use multiple subdomains for multiple landing pages all with content related to the main root domain. Why?...Cost: so I only have to register one domain. One root domain for better 'branding'. Multiple subdomains that each focus on one specific reason & set of specific keywords people would search a solution to their reason to hire us (or our competition).

Are URL shorteners building domain authority everytime someone uses a link from their service?
My understanding of domain authority is that the more links pointing to any page / resource on a domain, the greater the overall domain authority (and weight passed from outbound links on the domain) is. Because URL shorteners create links on their own domain that redirect to an off-domain page but link "to" an on-domain URL, are they gaining domain authority each time someone publishes a shortened link from their service? Or does Google penalize these sites specifically, or links that redirect in general? Or am I missing something else?
