Comment on Getting A PR5 .Edu Link With Broken Link Building by Jacques N

My too I heard about this method few times and I read a little about this, but I’m still not convinced. I am having trouble understanding why a website owner suddenly would make a backlink to our website because we come to inform him that his website had a broken link.

You, do you got results with this method?

Comment on Adviso, Dreamhost, 1 and 1 Internet, and Network Solutions : 4 Reputation Management Case Studies by Jacques Nadeau

I have used these platforms (1and1 & Network Solution) in the past and I do not understand why people still use them. Their control panel is really old fashioned, outdated and not very friendly. When connecting to their control panel, it seems that we find ourselves in 2008.

You find broken links by crawling/scraping, then check in Majestic/SEOmoz how many links that URL had, then if there were lots of links, you use Wayback to find out what content was there .

Interesting approach. Thanks for sharing this. I have one question though. How do you use Wayback Archives to find broken links. Can you elaborate a bit on that?

Thanks

Comment on 3 WordPress Themes Marketing Managers Will Love by Charles Dearing

Charles Dearing — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 07:20:40 +0000

Hi Damon, I am not sure for which theme you are talking about, anyway basically these themes are perfect for people who don’t want to spend too much time on searching for plugins and are not too comfortable with coding. Of course if someone really wants the best performance and make his site appear in whatever way he wants one of the best choises would be a thesis customization but it really depends on the time or money someone wants to spend and usually marketers and businessmen prefer to not spend too much time on things like web designing. However let us know which theme causes the problems you mentioned…

Fascinating point there Damon, and thanks for sharing. What theme was it?

Re: Js and CSS minification breaking down, I thought that kind of thing is due to forgetting ‘;’ at the end of statements? This is compensated for pre-minification, but not once the code is mini.

As to 3-4 seconds load time, not sure if you mean that is good or bad?

“Mobile traffic for the site in question is low single-digits percentage-wise when mobile accounts for 30% of web traffic on average.”
– Playing devil’s advocate, that in itself is only significant if the site’s demographic is representative of the web. What if it’s an older demo? Or less tech savvy? Etc…

In any case, you make some great points, n hopefully the guest poster (Charles Dearing) will respond.

As a marketing manager who inherited a site on one of the themes you mentioned I really urge you to reconsider your recommendations. These types of themes are terrible for any real business site.

Every feature in a premium theme has a performance hit. 75% of the features on these themes won’t be used in most situations.

But that’s not an issue because you only need a good performance plugin to fix things right? Sadly, all of the Javascript and CSS files flying around causes things like JS and CSS minification to break the theme.

We have the theme in question down to 3-4 seconds load time using a CDN and expensive hosting with a very light load (b2b), but I get the same thing on personal sites with three dollar hosting.

You know the old-time marketing saying, “only 20 percent of my advertising is working, but I don’t know which 20 percent”?

Well, “only 20 percent of my javascript is breaking my site, but I don’t know which 20 percent.”

And the theme in question uses a responsive framework, but they removed all of the code that makes it responsive.

Is that important? Mobile traffic for the site in question is low single-digits percentage-wise when mobile accounts for 30% of web traffic on average.

If you are in a serious business, get a bare-bones responsive theme and use WordPress’ excellent selection of plugins. If a plugin doesn’t work, you can swap it out easily. If a theme doesn’t work, you’ve got a lot more work to do.

I have more reasons to dislike premium themes, but this comment has run too long. I hope whatever theme you pick looks nice and shiny when you choose it and doesn’t get in your way as your business matures.

Hi Alex,

Good question, but I’m afraid I don’t. I’d ask in one of the Google Analytics email groups dedicated to this.

Hi Gabriel. Thanks for the tip.
Doy you, by any chance, know how to make these kind of settings permanent? I mean, is there any way to do that only once and exclude some keywords permanently?

Interesting article Gabriel. It mostly shows it’s good to be always looking for something. I tend to forget to observe when I’m not in “search mode” for a particular need, I think I miss some good ideas because of that.
