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.

Creating a site search engine while keeping SEO factors in mind
I run and own my own travel photography business. (www.mickeyshannon.com) I've been looking into building a search archive of photos that don't necessarily need to be in the main galleries, as a lot of older photos are starting to really clutter up and take away the emphasis from the better work. However, I still want to keep these older photos around. My plan is to simplify my galleries, and pull out 50-75% of the lesser/older photos. All of these photos will still be reachable by a custom-build simple search engine that I'm building to house all these older photos. The photos will be searchable based on keywords that I attach to each photo as I add them to my website. The question I have is whether this will harm me for having duplicate content? Some of the keywords that would be used in the search archive would be similar or the same to the main gallery names. However, I'm also really trying to push my newer and better images out there to the front. I've read some articles that talk about noindexing search keyword results, but that would make it really difficult for search engines to even find the older photos, as searching for their keywords would be the only way to find them. Any thoughts on a way to work this out that benefits, or at least doesn't hurt me, SEO-wise?

SSL providers? Any reviews?
Hello, Does anyone have any recommendations on good SSL providers? We are looking for 2 levels - cheap ones we can use for our clients (and potentially EV ones) and secure ones we can use where needed. I am not sure if there are any cheap and secure ones or if this a contradiction. I await everyone's input and recommendations. Thanks in advance

1 Ecommerce site for several product segments or 1 Ecommerce site for each product segment ?
I am currently struggling with the decision whether to create individual ecommerce sites for each of 3 consumer product segments or rather to integrate them all under one umbrella domain. Obviously integration under 1 domain makes link building easier, but I am not sure how far google will favor in rankings websites focussed on one topic=product segment. Product segments are medium competitive.Product segments are not directly related but there may be some overlap in customer demographics- Any thoughts ?

Better SEO Option, 1 Site 3 Subdomains or 4 Separate Sites?
Hey Mozzers, I'm working with a client who wants to redo their web presence. They have a a main website for the umbrella and then 3 divisions which have their own website as well. My question is: Is it better to have the main site on the main domain and then have the 3 separate sites be subdomains? Or 4 different domains with a linking structure to tie them all together? To my understanding option 1 would include high traffic for 1 domain and option 2 would be building Page Authority by having 4 different sites linking to each other? My guess would be option 2, only if all 4 sites start getting relevant authority to make the links of value. But right out of the gates option 1 might be more beneficial. A little advice/clarification would be great!

SEO on a mature site - diminishing returns?
I have a site that has been indexed in Google since 2002. Back then, I secured all of the highly recommended links of the time, like DMOZ and Yahoo Directory, and got just a couple very high PR links from highly relevant sites. That was enough to get us top listing on our best "niche" keywords and many long tail searches. Once we got to that point, we got lazy and have just relied upon our original links and any natural links that came our way. We also have a very highly detailed Adwords campaign in which we bid on almost any keyword that has every resulted in an organic conversion. A few months ago, I decided to kick our SEO efforts up a notch and hired a company to do an aggressive link building campaign and target some very high search volume terms that we had previously given up on. The campaign has been very successful in getting high ranking for several targetted terms. However, I am seeing zero impact on our site traffic or sales. I am beginning to wonder if Google's algorithms are so efficient that all of this extra SEO work is to no avail. Is there a point of diminishing returns where it is not productive to optimize a site's organic listings any further? Between our Adwords campaign, our already pretty good organic results, and google's ability to divine a searchers intent and lead them to the most relevant results, how do you decide when there is little benefit to further optimization? It is an important question for me because I have been considering putting a lot of work into adding content to our ecommerce site and I would hate to do all that work for nothing.
