How do I check how a competitor ranks in the UK vs. US?
-
In building my strategy I want to check how well my competitors rank in country specific searches, for example in Canada or the UK vs. the US.
Can someone help me by pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks

Jeremy,
The reply I offered is based on the belief you know your competitor's names and want to perform research on specific companies.
If you want to perform research on keywords then disregard my suggestion and go with Syed's.

Try Google's "Ad Preview tool". Search for::Google "Ad preview too" ::: - it should be the 1st listing in Google
In that, enter the keyword phrase, select the country, and you are good to go!
//Tried to include the link in this message but for some reason its not working when clicked on directly.
You can also try copy pasting this URL in new browser:
https://adwords.google.com/d/AdPreview/?__u=1000000000&__c=1000000000 -
For Google, you can simply navigate to Google.ca and type in a search query to see your competitors rankings.
SEOmoz offers Rank Tracker which allows you to specify a country and search engine.

Does blogging with a wysiwyg negatively affect SEO (vs. hand coding)?
Many bloggers use a wysiwyg editor to write posts. Are there any drawbacks to wysiwyg vs plain text? When I write blogs I prefer to hand code my text to be sure everything is optimized. My feeling is that wysiwyg leads to code bloat and generally fewer optimization opportunities. I have no real evidence. Is there any reason not to use the wysiwyg editor?

Ranking for "synonym" terms on separate pages?
(My title says "synonym" but it's not exactly the most accurate word, but works best for the title_) I have a site that ranks #1 for a term, and let’s pretend it’s “cheap phone”. It’s also ranks #1 for “cheap phone service” and #3 for “cheap phone plans”. These are all the home page with those rankings I have a sub page whose natural title would be “Cheap Phone Plans” or “Cheap Phone Service”. I have it named something these and it is not optimized for either of these terms because I think it would be best to not mess with the good rankings I have already for those two terms So here’s my question: what would likely be the outcome if I optimized that subpage for “Cheap Phone Plans” or “Cheap Phone Service”? If Google began to direct searchers of this term to my subpage rather than my home page, would my home page lose some of it’s ranking with it’s main and most popular keyword, “cheap phone? Thanks!

If Two Internal Pages Rank for a Given Keyword, Are They Competing?
Let's say I'm a house painter working out of offices in Boston and Springfield. When I search for "Boston house painter" or "Massachusetts house painter," both my homepage and my Boston office page come up #8 and #9. That's good, sorta (2 results on first page), but I'd trade that scenario for a single result in the top 3. How likely is it that these two page are competing? If I removed the Boston page, would the homepage rank better? Or should I be happy I have two pages turning up the the first SERP? Any thoughts here appreciated. Thanks!
