New year, new plans.

I'm currently working on outlining a search strategy for my company's marketing team. I'm primarily in charge of SEO but I'm working closely with our SEM and Content Marketing teams to build out a more holistic, integrated set of goals and initiatives for us all to work with.

Does anyone have any good examples of a search strategy they've done in the past // a template they've worked with? I have a pretty good idea of what I want to include but would love to see how others have approached this + get some inspiration.

Site migration 301's list on Apache server - when do I take the old migrated URLs off our 301 list?

Howdy! The site was migrated last year to a new platform, therefore the URLs were migrated over using 301 redirect rules. Since then, the server has a huuuuge list of rules for URLs and I wanted to know when can we start taking these off of the list? And, how can I test to see if they are still indexing, do I simply just add the url to the google search bar? Thanks Guys! Kay

Did you see Search Engine Watch remove links to sources on an article about websites scared of outbound links?

I saw this over on reddit and was curious if anyone else saw this article and noticed the same thing? http://www.reddit.com/r/bigseo/comments/38jgro/sew_quotes_me_and_others_on_a_topic_about_sites/ http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/opinion/2411268/the-collateral-damage-of-google-s-link-policy The irony here is pretty great. Thoughts on this?

Can some expert help us on switching domain name issues?

We have a small brick and mortar store chain in California. And we also have an online store with the same domain name. We are planning to invest on our online store platform and switch to Magento. while switching to Magento platform we are also considering to switch our domain name also. Our current domain name is not representing our current business model and capacity. Our brick and mortar store name is PuzzleZoo, our e-store domain is also PuzzleZoo. This domain is active in use for well over 10 years. But once started as a puzzle store, today we sell more toys than puzzles. We want to keep our brick and mortar store name as our brand. We also own ToyZoo domain name. And we are looking to use the new Magento store with ToyZoo domain. The question is should we keep both domains separately running or should we use only one. In this case should we stay with PuzzleZoo with only looks like a Puzzle store instead of a toy store. Or should we use ToyZoo and redirect the PuzzleZoo links to ToyZoo links? If we have both stores open with similar products, descriptions and images, are we going to get penalized by Google for duplicate content issues? Or PuzzleZoo being a brick and mortar store and ToyZoo being an online only store will help us to avoid getting Penalized by Google or other search engines? If we use Toyzoo are we going to lose our keyword authority and traffic? Looking forward to hear Expert opinions. Your participation will be highly appreciated.

Sale-a-day websites massive unused seo power, where's their marketing?

How do these companies market themselves so well? Is it 90% social media? www.gilt.com http://www.hautelook.com/ http://www.ozsale.com.au/ I'm curious to how they initially got off the ground and it seems like I need to be exploring these marketing techniques as well.

Machine Learning - Randomness in Search Engine Ranking Algorithms

I believe, sometimes you may 'deserve' the first position, but get #3. And of course, sometimes you may deserve #3 and instead be #1. All due to a 'randomness factor' in search engine algorithms. I've been holding this hypothesis for quite sometime. Really, it started when I learned about SEOmoz using machine learning to better investigate SEO best practices. I suddenly found myself wanting to learn more about machine learning, and the implications of using it for SEO. I'm by no means able to utilize machine learning myself, but I it appears unsupervised learning would have a real chance of cracking search engine algorithms. Hey, even Stuxnet was cracked! Surely Google/ Bing would know (and account for) this, right? We can agree they'd obviously prefer a highly skilled mathematician not be able to crack the code. Therefore, I'm led to believe that search engines use some sort of randomness in their rankings. Maybe not much. Perhaps not all the time. But if a random percentage of search results, had a random variable of sorts included in their calculations... wouldn't that be enough to prevent the vast majority of cracking attempts? Thoughts, opinions, criticism? Thanks.

How does SEOMoz create its graphics ? :)

This is definitely bit off-topic though could not resist asking it... I am in love with graphics (images) SEOmoz creates for its trainings I would like to know what software/tool is used to create them I am an educator myself and my students will love to learn from such engaging pictures rather boring text.
