The topic of subdomains… Sub domains are still ranking well, but if you do a ton of them, Google will just not index them out after a certain point.  You can definitely use a few, but don’t try to use dozens, hundreds or thousands of them.

We use the 2012 theme, because none of the CCS interferes with anything else, and since you are going to be overlaying, which is the whole point, the theme does not need to look nice, just run very light.

As far as the siloing goes, if you are using WP correctly, then WP does most of the hard work for you.

Peter,

google update so called google sandbox that makes new websites not ranking 1st page for at least 1 month no matter what kind of links you will throw on it

The Google Sandbox does not effect a website from ranking for the first month.  That is not what is going on at all.  It delays the link juice flow.  That is it.…[Read more]

The theme has nothing to do with us.

WP standard 2012-14 with custom media queries such that it’s a responsive site.  Keep it simple guys – the problem with themes nowadays is that their authors have tried to throw in a ton of extra functions to make them act more like THEME+PLUGINS (thugins…).  this unfortunately ruins the WP experience, in that certain themes will now interfere w…[Read more]

Thanks for the intro @justinkunst – glad to have you in the community!  If you’re ever interested in jumping into a SEMlive training session and sharing some of your knowledge there we’re more than happy to learn from eachother!!  best, jake

Love the site! but your call to action (which called me to action, great job ) results in a 404 page… oops!

Those stats stay in a cache that is refreshed every 24-48 hours – it’s still subscribed in your account but will not appear in the bottom of the forums for a few days.  Trying to take as much load off the server as possible to make the forums load fassssssttttt

Best,
Jake

Joe,

I actually thanked the guys at RAS as they pointed me back here. Much better place to be.

Big Happy

Will definitely take a look.  It was working fine for a while, I am seeing the same thing that you are, though.

Thanks for the heads up!

Andrew

On that note, join us for our Q/A session this wednesday and ask all the questions we haven’t addressed by then :p

Well if it is not an exact address you simply enter in as much information as you have.  There is not a schema code to just blanket an area.  So instead you give them whatever you have.  So you may need to leave out the line:

<spanitemprop=“streetAddress”>3102 Highway 98</span>

That is about the best that you can do..

And yes you wan…[Read more]

Looking forward to this as well. I’ve told Becker any number of times I’d love to have a copywriting post on Source-Wave (when he asks for input) but he always moves on to something else.
 
Kudos. Will definitely watch this when it’s up.

Derek,

What did you have in mind?

Andrew

Pete,

Responded to you in an other thread about the same issue and the support ticket.  We will get more videos out, but they can’t be done immediately.  Trying buddy..

Andrew

As our user-base keeps growing our I get more and more excited about this project!  glad to have you all in the community, and as eager to teach as y’all are to learn

I would recommend siloing out a category called service-areas and have a page dedicated for each area they service.  Spin the content on each page (or better yet get new copies) and set up the schema for each service area.

so you probably already…[Read more]

Ok, for doing the 301 redirects you have a few options:

hard code in the redirects yourself (custom code on the 404 filter to redirect to homepage – this can go in your theme’s functions.php file), but there are plugins that do this already
use a plugin to configure redirects on each page/post…[Read more]
