    Does anyone use LinkedIn for SEO?

    We use LinkedIn as somewhere to upload links back to our articles that we publish in our blogs with SEO titles. It only takes a couple of minutes and also gives you a presence on LinkedIn which can't hurt. I'm not sure if it has any real effect on the passing back of link-juice though.

    We're ranking well but my google listing has a strange title?

    When was the last time you changed the header? I just searched for staff squared and it brought up that page and still had the title of HR Software, could be that google hasn't re-indexed the page since you last updated the title tags?

    It's better to have a coming soon page than a holding page from your domain provider, if people hear about your company and just decide to go to yourcompanyname.com and see a coming soon page it will let them know that something is happening there, rather than just a holding page which will make...

    Are adwords consultants heading for extinction?

    People will always need Adwords consultants, even if they just need some help getting started rather than ongoing management of a campaign, they will want to ask someone where to get started and some advice on the best practises. Also a lot of people don't have time to sort out their own...

    How influential is social media in SEO?

    I read quite an interesting article about Social Media Marketing on SEOMoz a few days ago, if you go to their site and do a search for it you should be able to see what they say, the blog writers there generally know what they are talking about.

    Which Is The Best TLD?

    I've always used .co.uk domains for UK based websites, just as a best practice more than anything else, if you expect your target audience to never expand outside of the UK, then use a .co.uk. The only reason for having a .com address would be if your target market is worldwide. As far as...
