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.

You can use the SEOMoz tool named: Open Site Explorer to check out their links, sniff their anchor text and see an estimate of their authority.

Competitors black-hat link building?
Hi Mozzers, <a>http://www.alivenetwork.com/ </a>is a close competitor of ours. They're ranking far better than us even though many of our search metrics are the same...except one! links! To give you an idea, we've got a fairly large backlink profile for the industry with quality links.

34,981 links from 276 Root Domains = about 127 links/domain. Alive Network has 1,692,256 links from 705 root domains = about 2400 links/domain. Surely that looks a bit black-hat right there? Is it just a matter of time until they're penalised? Perhaps they're just a bunch of domain-wide links? Thoughts would be appreciated.1 -
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

When optimizing for a keyword, what would be a good ratio for keyword diversity?
We all have primary keywords that we are optimizing for. For instance one of mine is "Video Conferencing Systems." I've read that you should have about 5-10 different keywords you should optimize for, however, would you want to create more links with your primary keyword than your other keywords or spread them out evenly and optimize for the primary keyword on in the actual content of the page?

One keyword has dropped, everything else is ok, why?
Ok so this is what I got, 1 page ranks for about 5 different terms, all closely matching for example: Flower Pots, Flower Pot, Cheap Flower Pots, Buy Flower Pots. Flower Pot and Flower Pots are on page 2. Flower Pot stays where it is BUT Flower Pots drops out the rankings completely after being there for years. Could a blast of exact match anchor text at the term Flower Pots cause this? I would have thought the page would have been zapped rather then just one keyword. Any ideas?

Ranking for competitor brand terms
My client sells security software online. Our keyword research shows massive traffic for competitor brands relative to the non-branded terms and my guess is that this traffic converts well. I'd like to figure out a way to get some of that traffic for my client without crossing any ethical boundaries. The only thing I can think of is having a comparison page with good onsite optimization. Does anyone else have any tips on how to rank for these terms?
