    Reasons to avoid HULU PLUS

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I haven't used Hulu in a few years, as Netflix is more than enough for me. I do remember dealing with the ads though. There's a program called MySpeed by a company called Enounce. It's ~$30, and lets you change the speed of the video from .3x to 5x. (a 30 second commercial can be 6 seconds long)...

    Yury is exactly right. And an example of this would be "Advertising Positioning" in the bottom of this site. It shows up on every page as a link. These used to work really well a few years ago, but it often looks spammy depending on the anchor and number of pages.

    When I think about citations, it's mostly for the local Google+ Local Profile; which when listed in Google will take the user directly to your site. Google wants to show credible and established businesses at the top of the listing, so they look at other big directories (Yelp, Yellow Pages, City...

    Hey @MyronGainz , I'll try and answer all your questions at once. Putting the links to your directory listings on your main site isn't going to hurt, but it's not necessarily going to help much either. Focus on filling out all your information on the listings and getting quality reviews. Some...

    I'm answering things out of order, based on my chain of thoughts. Google has been gradually increasing the percentage of (not-provided) in analytics for awhile, but you should still have some organic data from before that. Most of the sites I'm currently tracking aren't at 100% yet, so that...

    SEO is a solid marketing strategy for any company whether it's on or offline. BUT it's a long term strategy. Yes, it's possible to rank sites quickly but in general, SEO is not going to be a huge traffic driver until you have the content to justify the rankings. You should set everything up for...

    Was busy for most of the day, but I'll try and answer what I can. If someone types in "Phoenix Accountant," there's a pretty good chance they're looking to find an accountant in the Phoenix area. To cut out an extra step, Google provides the directory listings (Google+ Local Pages, previously...

    SEO is constantly changing, and there's a wide range of techniques ranging from White Hat to Black. Most books on Amazon get dated quickly, so it's better to check out more "live" choices. Off the top of my head are a few links. Moz Beginners Guide: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo Neil...

    A few quick questions: Is there any organic traffic coming in from Google? (or other search engines for that matter) If yes, can you see some of the keywords that are bringing them in? What about the landing pages? Any patterns that emerge? Did you try and get any links removed, or just go...

    Not to hijack the thread, but figured I'd offer my thoughts. In general, networks work. It doesn't matter if it's Sape or another, it's just a collection of high authority sites that can be leveraged for better rankings. When you go with Sape links or any big network for that matter, you...

    Good call. Definitely missed that, even though his questions were all based around that. In the past though, I have submitted them without the message in WMT; just to be sure there wasn't a manual penalty.The algorithmic penalties can be tricky to identify, but by looking at past/present landing...

    Hi Yury, it's good to see another SEO in the forum. As for @XXDangerDaveXX, the very best thing I've read for penalty recovery is from Moz at http://moz.com/blog/ultimate-guide-to-google-penalty-removal ; It walks you through the entire process. If you aren't recovered after the first...

    Accepting credit card payments on your site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    As long as you're doing things above the board, Paypal is a great option. It's what I use for all of my sites, client payments and is actually my main choice for spending when I'm out. If you're breaking the rules, they can ban you, hold your money for 6 months and I'm sure there's plenty of...

    Accepting credit card payments on your site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    No need for the market or anything, but can you get a bit more specific on what your site is? It's subscription based, so is it a membership site? You have different levels of subscription, so I think it would be worth building that into your site. You can restrict certain areas based on their...
