Multiple links from Dmoz/Google directories worldwide
-
I came across www.soundandvision.com and did a Link Analysis on them....
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.soundandvision.com/a!links
I noticed that the top links they have are from Google directories or Google IP's.
How has this happened? I am listed in Dmoz in the UK does this mean I have automatically appeared around the world. Dmoz is pretty strict about rejecting links how can a company be listed so much? Is this a good practise?
Cheers

They still seem to rank crazy high due to this though.

This may be more of a moot point now, as Google Directory has been discontinued. There's a post at http://searchengineland.com/final-nail-in-the-google-directory-coffin-86505 about this.

While this is a rather old question, I am wondering the same thing. One of our keywords has a website ( http://www.terakeet.com )ranking that is completely unrelated and has no optimization for that keyword it seems, but has literally hundreds of links from Google directories in all kinds of countries which all link to DMOZ when you try to submit a site. Does submitting to DMOZ list you in every one of Googles directories?
-
I can yes....
Someone suggest maybe doing some web 2.0 links for dmoz pages to increase rank but surely to do this for every tld is not realistic....
Any other ideas?
-
Ignore my previous comments, I just had a deeper link into the opensiteexplorer backlinks.
Can you find your site in DMOZ? If you replace the tld with other country codes is it still listed? It could just be that the directory you've submitted to is a much smaller niche than your competitors and therefor the DMOZ pages don't hold as much authority as the others.

I am a merchant and have a google base account already so not sure if this is it.... Plus I have found service sites with a product feed with links like this....
Any other ideas?
-
I think this is what you're looking for
-
Stupid question time..... I have google checkout and google base feed... I am assuming this is different... How do you apply for google shopping?
-
This company has applied and been accepted to Google Shopping. Which means Google thinks they're reputable enough to endorse them. This acceptance provides them with alot of authority. The DMOZ listing has nothing to do with the Google Shopping listings.

Purpose of Putting "/collections" in URL String
I'm noticing that on many of my competitor's eCommerce sites, the URL for every subcategory of products is preceded by "website.com/collections/subcategory" rather than "website.com/maincategory/subcategory" Can anyone tell me why this is, and if it is beneficial to SEO to have URL strings designs this way?

What tool can I use to find the top traffic-driving keyword for a batch of pages from multiple sites?
I thought I might be able to use Ahref's Batch Analysis for this, but that just gives stats on backlinks. I have a several lists of thousands of pages scraped for particular sets of keywords, but what I need is some way to automate fetching the biggest keyword that each page ranks for - biggest being the keyword that is estimated to drive the most organic traffic. Is there a tool out there that does something like this?

My competition is using 1px images and links without anchor text. Good or bad idea?
I've been scoping out some of my competition and I noticed the number 1 ranking site is doing a lot of "interesting" stuff. I saw a bunch of 1px blank images that they must be using for the alt tag keywords. I also noticed several links to internal pages with different keywords without anchor text so they don't actually appear on the page. Is this considered black hat? Should I be doing something similar? It feels like the work I'm doing to try to rank #1 with a clean/professional looking site are wasted when the #1 sites are doing things like this.
