After creating a few new sites and doing some testing with brand new, aged and dropped domains. Its clear to me that new site/pages no matter how many links you throw at the site are taking around 2-4 weeks to show up on the first page.

I wonder after the latest payday loan update that google have brought back the sandbox to prevent SEO…[Read more]
Mark20 posted in the topic Options with no PBN in the forum SEO 11 years, 8 months ago

When it comes to PBN’s everyone has their own take on them. Don’t do this, don’t do that, do this, do that.

A PBN is great for ranking a long term site, if your aim is to build an authority site or you have a client site that has a real business then it pays to build up a high quality network.

If however you just want to make some fast…[Read more]

Rich Snippets is something worth considering for sure! I know Tesco are working hard adding scheme markups to their entire site, which makes me wonder why they would do that unless their was a benefit for doing so.

Attention grabbing titles and descriptions along with as much rich snippets you can show should help increase the CTR.

My image was removed from the SERPS a while ago even though it was stable for sometime. It was good to hear Google has taken the images away even though I am sure the reason it was done was to increase ad revenue.

I am also expecting Penguin to rear its head again soon so I expect things to be interesting over the next few months.

Hi All,

So when it comes to buying domains where do you go? What do you look for to convince you a PR site is what is says it is? As we all know PR isnt updated as often as it used to be (well to the public anyway) so ensuring you buy (and keep) a solid domain that will pass on the valuable link juice is imperative.

Thanks

Mark
