What the best way to embed Youtube/Vimeo videos on your website for SEO purposes? I've seen sites show up as video results for embedded videos. by ProfessionalUSERin SEO

[–]zschuessler 0 points1 point ago

You see many videos these days show a transcription below it. SEOmoz does this. It's helpful to visitors and it gets the page indexed. So I would suggest the pages you are referencing have relevant content in addition to the video, which is causing them to rank.

Post examples if that's not the case.

It will be, yes. Very worthwhile for everyone involved, however.

Moved from p.7 to p.2 because of Reddit awesomeness. Tips on staying there? by smplejohnin SEO

[–]zschuessler 1 point2 points ago

Views don't. Being on the frontpage of Reddit is a big deal. The problem is, it doesn't last long, so OP's website is likely plateaued right now. Hopefully he gets the social media kickstarted, which will keep his rankings afloat.

I'm an out-of-towner with an internship in Columbia this summer! What to do? by Valintiinin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler 5 points6 points ago

I was riding my bike past the Boone County Museum (The one off 63, near The Cottages) and maybe it's been there a while, but I saw a massive boat encased inside a large display case. I thought, 'Is that a fucking boat in a large display case?' and did a 180. Sure enough, it was.

Secret tip: there is a guestbook if you walk to the far end of the display. When I signed it there were only two other signatures .. maybe Reddit could help fill it?

So is there going to be a CoMO gathering on Reddit Global Meetup Day? by Tasulianin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler 6 points7 points ago

Looks like someone made one: http://redditgifts.com/meetups/columbia-mo-meetup/

I'd be less excited about an under-21 friendly meetup, personally. I like my beer.

Interested in exercise classes/groups in Columbia by jazzhandsfuckyouin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler 0 points1 point ago

I believe I'm paying ~$70 per month for Wilson's. It's a year-long contract, so make sure you can commit and your motivation won't waver. This gives you access to all of their locations. I think I recall an option to pay around half that per month for a single location.

The Forum location is really fancy. You can get food/drink, they have plenty of space, and they have a masseuse at certain times. Most classes are free. I think some you pay something like $10 if they have something out of the ordinary, like hot-room yoga.

I haven't been to the other locations so I can't comment. I'm happy with Forum, though.

It's 2012: Nobody Cares About Your Website. by jeremymorganin SEO

[–]zschuessler 3 points4 points ago*

I hope you don't mind constructive feedback, Jeremy.

  • Long-winded anologies will do one of two things for me: I'll leave your page, or I'll skip most of the content and try to find the equivalent of a tl;dr. Yours is almost half your content. In this case I would have left your article immediately had I not wanted to offer suggestions.

  • What are your sources for the graphic, 'Who Visits Your Website?' -- if it's your own guess-timate, that's fine, but say so because I'll promptly regard that as opinion and not pay much attention to it. If you have sources though, I'll be more keen on remembering the numbers/percentages and potentially find the original source to read more.

  • "I have run several tests on this over the last year and found it to be true – this is the new marketing. Forget SEO and buying links, start talking to people who are already there, and already at the party." - This absolutely demands you show your study or not say anything at all. You are making a ground-shaking claim (Forget SEO and buying links) and suggest focusing on social media. I agree completely that social media is very important, but not to the effect where you halt SEO to solely focus on it; you can work on both in tandem. If you have a study that suggests otherwise, I would be very interested in reading it, and not just taking your word for it.

  • Your title doesn't exactly fit. In reading the conclusion the reader should know what the article was about and how the title applies. Why does no one want to care about my site? All I know is your opinion that marketing on Facebook is better (because people go there everyday) and I should either stop or reduce effort to keep them on my site everyday.

I'm glad you submitted to /r/SEO and I hope the feedback helps a bit in crafting content in the future. I'd also suggest my opinion, which is that I visit many websites daily (StackOverflow, Reddit, Magento Blogs, Hacker News, etc) while I'm on Facebook at most for ~10 minutes per day, if at all, depending on how busy I am. I realize this may not be the norm, but I'd suggest not lumping all demographics together based on what might be common for most. (Again, numbers needed..)

Chamberopoly: Life-Size Monopoly with Alcohol & Prizes | May 3rd by zschuesslerin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler[S] 0 points1 point ago*

If you are even remotely thinking about coming, do it.

Last year the grand prize was a cruise vacation, I think. They had free keg access and you could win fancy drinks by playing games. I won a bath gift basket that, being a male, I haven't used. But it gets compliments all the time looking fancy in my bathroom!

Chapel Hill Rd. is always fun on a bike by Sumpmin columbiamo

I did the 'Big Tree' route today, and this was included.

To anyone attempting to do this: proceed with caution, or you will be going to bed at 9PM. Like me, for instance.

What is your best backlink you ever got? by mathan1234in SEO

Some might argue that Wikipedia links are still excellent to have.

Honorable Fiverr SEO and Social Media gigs by rednoseredditin SEO

[–]zschuessler 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, if the website is already established, crappy backlink plans you find on Fiverr really aren't bad at all for pushing smaller SERPs. You just shouldn't depend on these plans for the base of your SEO campaign.

Quarkbar: An Open Source Administration Bar for Magento by zschuesslerin Magento

[–]zschuessler[S] 3 points4 points ago*

Fashioned in the likes of the WordPress administration bar. It's a very early beta. While it's a still rough, it's also functional and secure.

I would be glad to take feedback, or even get assistance from the community in developing it.

I've had a lot of fun developing this -- if anyone has questions please ask. Also you can stay updated via @zschuessler on Twitter! There is still a LOT to do, so there will be frequent updates on my end for the coming week.

Recommend a Restaurant? by AreYouReadyToRedditin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler 1 point2 points ago*

If you ever get to Chic's BBQ, try the BBQ sundae. It's basically a sundae, only the ice cream is meat and the toppings contain potato salad & luscious baked beans. It comes served in a glass ice cream dish. Very fancy.

edit: Think Fancy Feast, fancy.

edit 2: meow

There are few things better in this life, than a plate of El Rancho's chicken-cheese nachos after a pub crawl.

Anyone want to upload an example of a report you send to a client? by jwalholin SEO

[–]zschuessler 0 points1 point ago

Back when I was consulting, I charged extra for reporting. That often shied clients away from it, since it was actually a substantial sum. (But relative to the time it would take to build the reports, so..)

Those that did want reporting got to pick from Raven Tools-style reporting, mixed with SEOmoz, plus anything else they needed. Often included spreadsheets of hard data.

But again, no one likes building reports. If you can do it automatically, great. Otherwise charge extra. I'd rather be doing the SEO and getting paid for that. youlikeyoubuy has a great response. I jive with it.

Can we get the comment downvote button back? by meschmiein SEO

[–]zschuessler -3 points-2 points ago

The problem is there would be threads where all the comments would be downvoted. There would be other threads where comments that promoted discussion were downvoted (most of my own comments were, in fact).

So asking for a downvote button back is perfectly fine, but it's not solving the problem. We are still a community of 4k people - very small. Small subreddit pains exist.

If anyone has a better idea we can try something new. The only idea that comes to mind is to hover a tooltip over the downvote arrow to explain what it should be for.

I'm fine with hiding the button, though. Replying to someone and telling them why they are wrong promotes discussion. That is good. In larger subreddits this is not possible because you get more spam and raunchy comments that should be downvoted. We just remove those.

Free Wiffleball Tournament April 14th Bethel Park by thinginabin columbiamo

[–]zschuessler 0 points1 point ago

I know you have a facebook group for columbia and st jo, but can you create one specifically for each? And add this as a real event so I can stay notified?

That would make it easier for me. I'd love to come out.
