Today Majestic SEO announce another browser extension – the Firefox Add on.
This follows the Chrome extension launched in December to help give even quicker access to the Majestic Stats that we know and love.
Although paid users will receive the most benefit, the Firefox Browser Add on is also available for free account users.
Having your site hacked is one of the most difficult things for a website owner to face. If your site has been compromised you will know that it can take time and effort that you may not have to ‘clean up’.
Help is on it’s way however as Google yesterday launched their Help Center for Hacked Sites. The help centre is a dedicated informational resource and series of step by step instructional videos to help you deal with site insecurities, identify any vulnerability, fix the problem and go through the review process. The help centre also offers advice on how not to get hacked in the first place. (more…)
Another super weekender in Leeds in the form of Think Visibility 9.
Celebrating Birthday #5, this March’s Thinkvis seemed to be held on every floor of the Alea Casino and I seem to have made more friends than ever… which means I also have more incriminating photos than ever 
(you know who you are).
Without further ado – here is the roundup of the path I chose for the day with additional slides for sessions in the other rooms. (more…)
Majestic SEO is now available in 9 Languages:
” Developing and maintaining a site if this scale in multiple languages has been an interesting challenge. The first challenge was to rebuild our site architecture to be able to handle language files. We develop too fast to be able to translate every upgrade into 9 languages, so you need to be able to launch nimbly but handle language files independently. Just getting that right was hard.
Next comes a process. Every time we add or change the site, translation files (we call the delta files) build up with anomalies of English fields/words that have changed since we last upgraded the language files. We can then put delta files into the translation process and make this independent if the function development cycle.
It’s quite a process.” – Dixon Jones – Majestic SEO
This session covers content, comparisons to modern day Newspapers, and how to think about earning links in creative ways.
Seasoned Speaker Bill Hunt is always a pleasure to listen to. Loads of slides and a huge amount of useful information for how to think about Keywords, targetting value and making sure that your budgets are being used wisely.
Starting with the example of a keyword targeting fail whilst looking for a Wine Cooler that held 50 bottles, the SERPS brought a whole manner of listings that consumers then have to trawl through again to find the best match.
This is Bill’s blueprint of how to undertake your Keyword Analysis effectively.
We’re at SES London 2012 – so here is the first in our series of posts this week.
Link Building in a Post Penguin World
Moderator:
Bill Hunt, SES Advisory Board; President, Back Azimuth Consulting

Paul Madden, Owner, Automica Limited
Links have existed long before Google, we just didn’t think in those ways. Links prior to the art of Linkbuilding as we know it existed were earned not necessarily placed via news, web portals, open directories and general web content.
Along came Page Rank > Money – and we have eventually ended up with a post panda apolcalypse launching a host of theories, ‘much needed’ cleanup, and the start of a different way of thinking when it comes to link building. (more…)
After a week of smaller announcements, today Majestic SEO announce a new URL Submitter Tool.
This new feature is one of the most requested and is available for free and paid for accounts. The new submitter tool allows users to influence which URL’s are crawled and add those that may not have been picked up…yet!
With over 4 Trillion plus URL’s crawled in the historic index, the ability to add specific URL’s means that you help decide on a worldwide scale which URL’s get crawled first.
Last week, Kenshoo released version 2.0 of their social media software platform Kenshoo Social 2.0.
Built on the Kenshoo Universal Platform the social marketing suite contains campaign management and social optimisation tools and a new feature using Facebook Exchange (FBX).
Facebook exchange was launched in September 2012 allowing advertisers to use real-time bidding to buy social network ads so this alone makes Kenshoo 2.0 a Social Media Management tool to be reckoned with. (more…)
Exciting News today from the Majestic SEO camp in that they have been working hard to increase the Fresh Index Data.
Previously 45 days, you can now see Fresh Index data from the last 90 Days which means that you can report quarterly link data.
I was going to write a post about PPC Tips for Valentines campaigns, but as I started to research screens and brand positioning for the main Valentines product areas, I discovered a whole heap of things not working as they should, and a lot of tricks that are potentially being missed for both PPC and SEO.
I also found many things that could affect your bottom line, or issues that you may want to look out for before the busiest shopping period before Valentines Day gets underway…
I don’t mean to point fingers as things go wrong with e-commerce all the time, but a lot of these issues I see time and time again and many have simple fixes so I have used the actual examples I came across while doing my research that are currently live.
A quick check now, or a few additions now could save you a little more in advertising costs and make you a little more in sales revenue so don’t shoot the messenger!
(disclaimer: some of these issues may depend on your last delivery dates, regularity of search engine indexing and red-tape you have to go through before you can make any changes!)
Keeping your own website or blog takes time and effort but what happens if you lose even part of your information? Having to re-do content or scrape the Wayback Machine for indexed page records is time consuming and sketchy. Even after that there is no guarantee that you can retrieve all files.
Having recently experienced perils of cheap hosting on WordPress affiliate sites (cobbler’s children worst shod and all that), I found out the hard way that not practicing what you preach to clients with regards to backing up database files can result in a lot of extra work and effort and of course lost income!
Even hardcore professionals suffer from procrastination when it comes to boring tasks like backups so I thought that I would share my plugin findings in the hope that it saves you data, time and prevents you from ever having to re-make anything ever again - [*disclaimer* - in theory]
