What's on your ultimate online marketing wish list?
-
Hi everyone! I'm one of Distilled's new online marketing analysts and will be writing my first blog post for them right before Christmas! I'm thinking about writing a post that combines the holiday spirit with what we all wish Google would give us. So fine people of Moz Q&A, tell me, if you could have anything from Google, no matter how ridiculous, what would it be and why? Any great quotes may even be featured in the blog post itself and attributed to you! Thanks everyone and happy Friday!

adwords- I would love a compare date range view in adwords like they have in analytics
-
A Google tool that has the option to allow webmasters to manually approve EVERY SINGLE Link. Or it will not count towards rankings.
-
Authorship as a ranking signal! (See here)
It's inline with the algo's focus on high quality content and "users will like x because they loved y"

Nessie needs a new home!

Absolutely keyword data!
Also, I've always wanted a better third party traffic measuring system. Everyone here knows that the services like Alexa, Compete, Quantcast, etc. all vary widely in the numbers they report and are oftentimes woefully inaccurate when comparing the data to a site's internal analytics. And considering these companies are able to make millions off of their services, I think it would make complete financial sense for Google to enter this space. And I have no doubt they could dominate the market immediately since they pretty much know everything about every person as well as the majority of websites, so their data would be much more accurate and reliable than anyone else's.

Oh, and a button to click "give me no personalization, localization (beyond my country), bias, inference, or voodoo magic in my results"!

Anything from Google? A million dollars!
But seriously, I second Keri's post. I would very much like my keywords back. I can manage without them myself but management doesn't exactly like that I can't magically turn [Not Provided] into actually provided. I'd also like the previous AdWords Keyword Tool back. Its not that the current Keyword Planner doesn't work fine... it just feels like they've cut out a bunch of functionality for no good reason.
And from the more personal and non-search/marketing/etc. side of things... I would like Google to send me a free pair of Google Glasses except I want the earbud attachment on the left side because I have impaired hearing on my right.

I'd love our keyword data back!
More exact numbers and fewer estimates/ranges in things like GWT.
-
Unlimited budget would be very helpful.
I know this is not helpful for you but free adwords would make life much better and a high end marketing team combined with full stats of all my competitors.

Thoughts on Net Neutrality Repeal & Digital Marketing
Hey everyone I was having a discussion with a friend and colleague recently regarding the repeal of net neutrality and what it would mean for marketers and website owners. I wanted to reach out to the community and get your thoughts on what you foresee this FCC decision meaning for your efforts and if your plans have changed at all. Obviously, there are appeals happening and any changes are said to be subtle and gradual, but I'd still like to see what is on everyone's mind at this time should the repeal stick. Excited for the conversation!

Has wiki lost some market share?
I work in the financial space for a forex broker, and noticed this week that Wikipedia dropped from #1 for [forex] to about 8. Good for us, but just wondering if anyone else has seen wiki market share drop and if any big data SEO projects have seen any fluctuation for wiki. Researching why this may have happened.

Email marketing - ready to get serious about this
Ok, I have my PILE of business cards from Chamber of Commerce meetings and different networking events I have attended. I have 8-10 blogs that are worth sharing on my website - www.sawwebmarketing.com (I realize that's a pathetically low number) I am committing to and excited about blogging MUCH more starting today! I have a huge list of ideas. I am adding a signup to my site and putting up a pop up to collect addresses. I have 15-18 clients that are paying me for ongoing seo / Internet marketing (or simply had my team build a new site for them) AND AN ACCOUNT WITH AWEBER I HAVE USED ONCE! 🙂 Where do I start!? Any advice? I want to start building a LIST of subscribers and grow my list by sharing great advice, strategies and tips to help people put their website to work. A) Send one email to EVERYBODY (ongoing clients, past clients, contacts who subscribe, website visitors, blog subscribers) or customize my messages for different groups? B) Put whatever I want to share on my blog and share it via social media AND send an email to my list inviting them to check out what I posted so I get the most bang for my time? (LINKS BABY!) I feel like an idiot I haven't got on this sooner but truly ANY ADVICE from somebody who has been there and done it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! 🙂 Thank you!

Just want to know if others have seen simliar results with Squidoo's organic visits
I have some old squidoo pages and yes they haven't been tended to as well as my other content that is outperforming it, and yes that could be why. So rather than asking why it is underperforming, I just want to know if anyone else has heard that Squidoo was in line for a spanking, or if anyone else has seen similar organic reductions. That way I know if it's me getting the spanking, or if it's squidoo. Thanks a mil. Tyler

Is Bing actually using Yahoo's search engine now?
All my Bing rankings are now the same as Yahoo's ranking were, but I expected the opposite. Meanwhile, my Yahoo rankings are exactly the same as they were last week.
