    [AMA] SEO and Digital Marketing in 2016

    Ah, yes! They definitely have sales - just not too often. Anywhere from 50-75% OFF too (I KNOW, crazy! :D). From what I remember, SEO Powersuite had at least two sales last year. One in the summer and one during Christmas/New Years. But the sales were only a day or two long, so you would want to...

    The only products that I am willing waiting 3+ months for, are the new & exciting projects that I back on Kickstarter. Aside from that exception, I would never be OK with a 3 month shipping time. I also agree that it is difficult to determine the actual issue with so little information, but...

    Awesome stuff! That's definitely a great resource for SEO ranking factors. Backlinko.com is chock-full of relevant & resourceful information on SEO and digital marketing. Another article they just published on SEO that is worth a read - "We Analyzed 1 Million Google Search Results. Here’s What...

    Sell on Amazon? Find Out if You're Missing out on Instant $$$

    NOTABLE! 
    Amazon also overcharges quite often for returns. I recently had a return the other day, where Amazon fully refunded a buyer, paid the buyer an additional compensation of $7.50, and charged me over $18.00 in FBA return fees. I was like..."what the heck"? After quite a few phone calls, I was...

    Personally, I avoid using forum backlinks for SEO altogether. For the most part, you should be safe including a link in your profile or signature on a forum, but it really depends on the credibility of that forum. It may give you a small amount of extra traffic, but it won't help your website...

    This is a question you need to answer for yourself. You may love it, you may not. You may be great at it, you may not. But you won't know until you give it a shot. Experiment, work on some of your own projects, and I think you'll have a good idea if it's something that you want to do. There is...

    Building A New Product Brand From Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Sales Update! After an okay first week of sales, I tried reducing my price to a break even point for 3 days in order to improve ranking for product #1 & #2. Over that 3 day span, I only had 42 total orders between the two products that were offered at lower price point. However, once I moved...

    Sure, I don't see a problem with manually commenting on blog posts - especially if you are contributing to content. While those backlinks won't give your website much "link juice", if any, it could be a good place to start if you have a new website with no backlinks. That being said, if you...

    Ah, gotcha. I have never used the course, nor have I met anyone who has. I'm sure that OMG offers some awesome info and training... but for $8,000. If you do your research and due diligence, you can find all of that info for free.

    While I may not be making as much money working for an agency, I'm doing it for the experience. I worked as a freelancer for quite some time, but struggled to obtain new clients and grow as a business. I've never pursued doing SEO full-time on my own because 1) I honestly didn't know how to...

    Engagement > Number of Followers Ultimately, it comes down to engagement. Although, more followers generally results in higher engagement.

    So, you are offering SEO services to Dentists? Also, just curious - If a business's customers already hate them (1.5 stars is pretty bad), then how will you turn the reviews around without using blackhat methods?
