Does anyone have any experience getting local DMOZ listings?
-
I have a client with a business that has locations in about 20 different states. Can I get them local listings in DMOZ? If so, how?
-
I guess you can be thankful for the one you managed to get : )
-
DGSEO, as everyone else has stated, it's VERY unlikely that you'll be able to get more than one DMOZ listing. I know it took me weeks just to get one!!
-
Definitely, Liz... Google places works for this client very well.
Thanks!
-
Yeah... we're thankful to have the ones we've got!

You will have trouble getting any site listed in DMOZ!
Not saying it's impossible, but the last 5 sites I've tried to get listed have failed miserably despite following their guidelines definitively.
-
You would have difficulty getting one site listed in more than one category of DMOZ:
"You should submit a site to the single most relevant category. " http://www.dmoz.org/add.html
Is there a main office location you could use?
Google Places would be really important for you- setting a listing up for each location and ensuring to link to the most appropriate subdomain of the client's site.

Hi. One of our competitors is ranking ahead of us on Google. Our site has a much stronger authority and much more quality links than this competitor. Would anyone have any explanations for this? Thanks
Hi Guys - I've noticed recently that one of our competitors is ranking extremely well on Google, while we seem to be fluctuating, along with other competitors, for our main keywords. Our site has a much stronger authority and much more quality links than this competitor and traffic is continuously increasing each month. Would anyone have any explanations as to why we may be seeing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

How do I get rid of these nofollow backlinks from 1 comment I made?
I wrote a comment on another blog and now every single time that blog posts an article, it comes up as a nofollow backlink in OpenExplorer. It is really annoying to see when I check for new follow backlinks. I just wrote ONE comment on ONE blog post. How can I stop this? There are at least 10 showing up today! Thanks!

Avoiding Getting Your Email Address Labeled as Spam
If you send out a lot of email outreach (manually not automated), are there ways to avoid getting labeled as spam and having your emails filtered to the spam box by the major email providers? (or are you pretty safe if you personalizing each email manually and getting a decent number of replies).

Backlinks, how do you get them?
Recently, I listed our site on a few directory's which I deemed as not spammy and had good domain authority (competitors were using these). This was about 2 weeks ago and have not seen them come up as a backlink using open site explorer? I was wondering whether i'm missing something out here or does it take longer than 2 weeks to gain a backlink from a website? Thanks in advance.

Etsy.com --Getting link juice through other pages on search results?
My sister has a store page on etsy.com where she sells home made crafts. And I want to help her rank higher on google with some of the other etsy stores. So i started to look at the other etsy store pages that are ranking well on google and found that they have a page authority between 48 to 52. So i looked at the backlinks of the ones ranking well on google with high page authority and found that many of their best links came from the internal search results page on etsy.com, and some only had one link from just an arbitrary etsy.com search page. I'm thinking this is because another product being listed on the seach page has a high page authority which then passes some of its link juice onto every other product on the page. But what is interesting is products are always being sold or getting added so even though you are on a search results page that happens to benifit from the link juice of another product the next time the page gets crawled you will be on a different search page. So i am thinking in order to maintain high page authority to you just have to have a lot of products listed so that there is a greater likely hood that you will find yourself on the same search page as another high authority page. I have not been doing SEO very long so i would love to hear what others think. I really have no idea, am i on the right track with this? (edited post) Thanks
