SEO site Review
-
Does anyone have suggestions on places that provide in depth site / analytics reviews for SEO?
-
You might try the good folks at http://www.goinflow.com/ - Everett Sizemore in particular. He gave a very good mozinar on eCommerce SEO here: http://moz.com/webinars/ecommerce-seo-fix-and-avoid-common-issues This is how I became familiar with him.
There are also two guys at http://www.melen.net, Matthew Prepis and Oleg Korneitchouk (Oleg is active here in the Moz forum) who performed a high level audit for us that was top notch. They were striving to win our business and are still in the running. They are excellent.
Either of these two might come in quite a bit lower than a company like RKG, depending on the scope of the project of course.

THanks! Any idea of smaller companies that can just preform the initial review? Or is everything like taking on new clients as I am not as interested in that.
-
Gotcha. Then Dana's suggestions will be good. The challenge you'll probably encounter is one of matching cost for an audit against the business value. The companies recommended by Moz tend to be at the higher end of cost, because they're large companies with plenty of experience and expertise.

I am looking for a company or person that can do an look over of the site and then give me the ideas they think are most impacting SEO.
-
Are you looking for tools that provide in-depth data so you can do the SEO review/audit yourself, Gordian? Or are you looking for companies/consultants that will do the whole audit for you? Just wanted to clarify.

There are some excellent companies out there that can provide a broad range of site audits for you. Moz has compiled and excellent list here: http://moz.com/community/recommended
Because they weren't on the list and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the knowledge and experience this company has under one roof I'd also mention Rimm-Kaufman (RKG)
Prices can vary wildly, ranging from free audits to audits that are $10,000 or more, so it's important to consider where your company is and what's needed and take it from there. Here's a great post on site audits from the RKG blog:
Building a Better SEO Site Audit
Hope that's helpful info. Also, if you've got someone savvy on your team, and you have more time than you have money, here's great site audit template (given as part of Annie Cushing's presentation at Search Love Boston in 2012) that can really go pretty deep and help you construct one on your own:

It includes links to an already formatted GoogleDoc that templates everything you need. Brilliant.

Breaking up a site into multiple sites
Hi, I am working on plan to divide up mid-number DA website into multiple sites. So the current site's content will be divided up among these new sites. We can't share anything going forward because each site will be independent. The current homepage will change to just link out to the new sites and have minimal content. I am thinking the websites will take a hit in rankings but I don't know how much and how long the drop will last. I know if you redirect an entire domain to a new domain the impact is negligible but in this case I'm only redirecting parts of a site to a new domain. Say we rank #1 for "blue widget" on the current site. That page is going to be redirected to new site and new domain. How much of a drop can we expect? How hard will it be to rank for other new keywords say "purple widget" that we don't have now? How much link juice can i expect to pass from current website to new websites? Thank you in advance.

Lightboxes and SEO
Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

Whats peoples thoughts on this? Does it work? Is it worth the effort? Im not so sure but obviously looking for ideas. Cheers
