Competitor Targeted Keywords
-
What is the easiest way to about and specifically finding backlink anchor text and links for specific keywords? E.G Our competitor ranks highly for the term "Army Fleece Jacket" whats the easiest way to weed out the links which hold the most weight for this particular term?

LOL. Thanks for the advice, lets see where we stand a few months from now...

To get links I would share this with bloggers/webmasters who have covered cold weather warfare, military uniforms, or military history... for commercial items where you say they are "close to military issue" you might contact the manufacturer or distributor to suggest a link, or a guest blog post. You also might be able to use Google SERP monitoring tool to watch for new content on military forums and Q&A sites for your items. Then join the conversation with some expertise. (I rarely, I never, ever, suggest the use of forums to promote content but in this situation I might give it a try. I hope that none of my friends read this. Geez, they will never let me forget it.)

This makes the most amount of sense. I will try and do this with all of our main products.

It can be very difficult to defeat an opponent by mimicking their methods.
Do something superior and blow them out of the water.
Consider preparing a best-on-the-web content page for this topic. If you sell them you should be able to talk a lot about them to prepare an article that includes: history of the army fleece jacket, proper military wear, environments of use, colors and styles used in the field, time line, materials and their function, features and their use, how the item has morphed into a broad range of commercial products, which commercial products are closest to military issue, tons of photos showing various styles, close-up photos that show features and materials, cleaning.... (I know nothing about this item so if I can think of all of this stuff you, as an expert, should be able to prepare something that is total kickass).
Attack! "Best on the web" if you want to win.

Competitor spamming and winning
Using Google UK search for web design bristol the** #1 and #2 **spot are populated by companies that are ranked with footer links, directory spam, suspect links and other tactics. The #2 spot is even using cloaked anchor text in most of his footer links. The rest of the first page do not fair much better, it is generally a bit of a mess! The problem is you guys are going to tell me that they will lose in the end, that I should ignore it and carry on, but the problem is these sites have been there for years, those links and those tactics are standing the test of time and in a competitive B2B niche it is hard work to push forward with quality content and valuable information when people can just spam and cloak year after year and outrank you... I know for a fact that if you search for SEO Bristol that several of the top five guys are using private blog networks, not even very clearly ones at that...seriously, how can we all sit here with a straight face adviding people that content is king while it clearly is not! That became more of a rant than I intended it to 🙂

Should I use general keywords or city specific keywords for back link campaign?
I am working on a new client that offer appliance repair in all of california and I was wondering would it be ok if I just target general keywords like "appliance repair" instead of city specific keywords like "los angeles appliance repair" for the back link campaign . I am sure city specific would be better for rankings, but would the general keywords help local seo at all? What is the best way to go about this with out having to make a city specific page for all listings? thanks

Why is ooshirts.com not being penalized for exact match keywords?
Clearly this site is buying links. They have the most exact match link profile I have ever seen. It appears their strategy has been to buy links for their domain as a way to mask all the other exact match purchases they are making. I have also been sent copies of the emails where they are attempting to purchase links. Thoughts?

Showing For Long Tail Keywords - Not Targeted?
Hello, Is it normal for Organic traffic to show for keywords or phrases that I am not even targeting? All of this traffic spiked within a couple days and I cant figure out why? I ve been building backlinks, doing all the correct things. Just took me by surprise. Typically when you begin showing organically is it usually a slow progression? Thanks so much!

Targeting high Page Authority sites vs high Pagerank sites for backlinks?
For many years I've been working on seo/backlinks for my website. When doing analysis in opensiteexplorer I notice that the highest listed backlinks for my site are sites with high page authority and domain authority, rather than pagerank. For example one of the highest backlinks for my website has page authority/domain authority of 72/96 but the site itself is only a PR2, while my other backlinks have PR4, 5, or 6 with lower page authority. For a while I've been trying to partner with websites for backlinks from high pagerank sites, as I've always believed this is the #1 metric in relaying link juice. But OSE's metrics seem to not follow that train of thought -- it believes page authority/domain authority is a more important measure. Is it? Should I change my strategy to try to partner with websites that have high page authority rather than focusing so much on pagerank?

No Follow Blogs. Do they help with keyword density?
I know no follow blogs don't pass page rank or link juice, but do they aid in help with making your site know for a specific keyword when you use anchor text?
