I was on my phone searching for a lunchtime haircut spot, the lady next to me was shopping for new curtains on her iPad, and a Wall Street type was talking loudly on his phone asking for tips prior to laying a bet with his bookie (you have to love New York City).

Each of us, in our own way, was using our mobile devices to reach out and find answers to our pressing questions. But until a few years ago, the only way we could reach out and answer these questions in a mobile fashion was via email and/or asking someone on the other end, a process that was inefficient at best and frustrating and without closure at worst. Due to the advances in mobile hardware, software, and user experience, much of this has changed and finally rivals what we love about desktop searching.

Both Facebook and Wordpress are valuable options and it is my belief that you should do both.

If you’re short on time, start out with Facebook and suggest the group/page to all your friends. You can always go back and create a Wordpress site, although I would say doing it this way makes for a little more work (depends on the type and frequency in posting content). I’ve posted a few thoughts for you to chew on as starters, knowing there is way more that you can do to fully optimize both. From a long-term view, I recommend using Wordpress just due to the ownership of your data and building your search and page ranking via your personal domain.

If so, ask yourself this: "if a robot link builder existed, what would I still be able to do that it could not?

" Analyze a complex backlink profile and distinguish quality links from spammy ones? Check. Write a funny personal email that gets someone's attention in the right way? And what could the robot do faster and better than you? Find every link to a site? If you've ever heard the phrase "build on your strengths," the lesson for link building is this: that we need to automate as much of the routine, "robot work" as possible, and spend more time doing what we're best at: being sentient human link builders.

In this post, we'll look at tools that can help link builders shift their workload to computers as much as humanly possible. Backlink Data Let's start with the most basic automation. Majestic SEO: A well-regarded index of link data with information about anchor text, authority, Class C IPs, and relevance, not to mention good sorting and filtering. Google: Don't Use Page's Title Tag As Image Alt Tag. A Google Webmaster Help thread has one webmaster complaining his site isn't ranking well anymore in Google. When Googler, JohnMu, checked out his site, he made one observation about the length of the alternative text (alt tags) used in the images source code. John said that the images are using "a full copy of the - sometimes long - title as the alt-text for all of the product images on the page. " He recommended the webmaster stay away from throwing so much content in the alt tags of the images.

John said: One small thing that I noticed while looking through your site's pages (well, the HTML code :-)) was that for many (all?) Keyword stuffing your alt tags is never a good idea. I'd always recommend keeping the alt tags short and make sure they describe the picture. Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help. How To Scale B2B Link Building Across An Organization.

Poor landing page quality scores have been a bit of a mystery for marketers using Google AdWords. A 1/10 score could mean the landing page was poor, by Google’s standards, or it could mean that it, or the site as a whole, somehow violated the company’s policies. Today, the company has introduced changes to help people identify policy violations from mere poor quality. If a page or the site violates Google’s policies, the status column on the keywords interface will show “Site Suspended.”

A quality score is no longer calculated or shown, given the ads aren’t being displayed. Such a notice can warn a marketer that he needs to investigate Google’s site and landing page policies, to rectify the problem. For example, Google bans sites and landing pages that aren’t functioning properly, or those which are unclear about their billing practices.

Sites and landing pages that represent more serious violations of policies could result in the suspension of the entire account. Weekly Search Recap 4/16/11 | Enterprise SEO Blog | BrightEdge Blog.

Methodology We studied Google AdWords data from the period prior to the launch of Instant and compared it to the first week-plus following the launch for a wide range of clients.
