SEO Advice for Free

Yep, free seo advice.

Last Wednesday Loren Baker announced that Search Engine Journal would be launching a new project called TechSmith, makers of SnagIt, a popular capturing and image editing tool.

If there’s one thing you can say about the 301 redirect and 404 error page issues. I would have thought both would have been among the first things an SEO would have recommended and I’m assuming at some point in time this site has had some seo work done whether in house or through hiring an SEO firm. TechSmith was also lacking h1 headers, which was another surprise to me and also one that gives me confidence SEOs will be in need for many years to come.

I thought the discussion about TechSmith’s lack of a clear objective for their blog had some good points and found it interesting to hear that a site with more than 150,000 incoming link could still have linking problems.

And while the this first review tends to focus on what would be considered seo 101 there are some pretty good ideas to generate natural links and make use of social media sites. Overall it’s a good look into the minds of some successful SEOs and how they would approach the problem of optimizing a site.

I think you get the idea that I liked this review. I do have one issue with it, though. I would have preferred a review of a different site. Nothing against TechSmith, but they seem like the type of site that could afford to pay for the advice and I’d rather see sites get reviewed that would otherwise struggle to pay for what SEO Clinic is offering.

I would also rather have seen a smaller site given the advice. A quick look at on page optimization, but I suspect as the weeks go by the optimization being discussed will become a little more advanced in many respects.

I’d urge you to take a look at SEO Clinic’s first review so here’s the link again.
