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"

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.

Pre-launch market/industry research
I am getting ready to start a web based marketing firm, with a strong focus on local search and b2b organic search engine optimization. However, I want to pick a specific b2b market to focus on when the site goes live. How do I go about conducting this market research when i do not have any visitors to my site yet. My goal is to spot a market/industry that has a gap where my service will be in demand? All of the popular guides and blogs focus on market research that takes place after you launch your website or after you already have an audience to analyze. Any advice or suggestions on conducting market/industry research without having a audience yet would be greatly appreciated!

100's of versions of the same page. Is rel=canonical the solution???
Hi, I am currently working with an eCommerce site that has a goofy set up for their contact form. Basically, their are hundreds of "contact us" pages that look exactly the same but have different URLs and are used to help the store owner determine which product the user contacted them about. So almost every product has it's own "contact us" URL. The obvious solution is to do away with this set up but if that is not an option, would a rel=canonical tag linked back to the actually "contact us" page be a possible solution? Or is the canonical tag only used to show the difference between www vs non-www? Thanks!

How do I "link" up with USA based SEO's
After 28 long years of wait this year I finally made it to the United States of America. I grew up on "The A Team" , "Knight Rider" and Mcdonalds cheese burgers from 2 years onwards. I am as American as a English person could possibly be. It wasn't until I arrived in Florida and spent two weeks in the great country that I understood the difference in the minds and mentality of people. People were nicer ! People on the whole had a can do mentaily. If your a success people congratulate you for it . Unlike the UK.... Plus people were not scared to make a fool of themselves... (People jumping up and down at traffic lights with advertising boards) Now to my question - I loved it so much I want to go back and I figured me and my wife and 3 year old may have a extended break next time where I can work on vacation maybe over a month or so. I would love to get to know as many SEO's and people based in the USA as possible please and introduce myself etc. Hey who knows maybe SEO Moz can change my future (fingers crossed) Thanks to all the people that get in touch !

What is the Best Way To Structure A Growing Internet Marketing Firm?
I have been asking a lot of personal friends (who own SEO companies) this question and have found that it seems to be on all of their minds. From BlueGlass to a small start up consulting firm, it seems that everyone is doing things different and constantly shaking it up. I am wondering what SEOMozers are doing/have done for their company structure?
