RE: Dirty Link Profile - Suggestions?
I would just leave the old links and start building new, good links.
I would double-check that their site is clean and remove anything poor, though.

RE: Ranking multiple domains in the SERPS for same keywords?
I have been able to get a couple domains ranked for the same (low to moderate competition) keyword before. They had same whois and server.
-
RE: Is this Cloaking?
That's strange, but I'm not sure it's cloaking. Looks like they are using Javascript to display the product as part of a larger display. If JavaScript is disabled, the product just shows without the larger display of other products around it.
-
RE: Breadcrumb navigation with URL ending
I would consider either to be fine.
-
RE: Somebody hacked many sites and put links to my sites in hidden div
So somebody else hacked websites to place links to your website? Crazy.
I doubt you'll be penalized for the links - the links will probably just be discounted.
-
RE: Pay Per Post?
I would try Elance or Guru to hire a freelance writer.
-
RE: Canonical Tag
It is only really required on the non-canonical urls, but it's often placed on the canonical page also. It doesn't have to be, though.
-
RE: Is this a legitimate offer?
I would agree that the offer is low, but the company's small size and your length of experience should certainly be considered also. Overall, it doesn't sound too low for a recent graduate at a small company.
-
RE: Is a no follow comment section good or bad?
I would only make the comments dofollow if you are going to police them carefully and delete links to any poor quality or shady websites.
-
RE: When Panda's attack...
"Google watches how long a person uses a page to gauge it’s value"
Perhaps, but I wouldn't stress about that metric in particular. As you correctly pointed out, a visitor who is looking for a specific item and finds it will leave a site rather quickly.Is the content unique or duplicate?
EDIT: According to a quick check on Copyscape, your content is duplicated across other sites. You definitely need unique content as a starting point.
-
RE: Adding to intl versions of Google?
That's the Google directory, not Google Web Search. I think Google directory still pulls their listings from DMOZ.
-
RE: Article spinning - is it a spam or legitimate way to build SEO
Article spinning is certainly not the best way to achieve top rankings. In general, I would consider it "probably spammy" depending on how it is done. Google is actually starting to crack down on article marketing in general a bit with the recent Panda/Farmer update. There are definitely better strategies to focus on.

RE: Keyword Research for Real Estate Industry
I would recommend continuing to work on the bigger keywords like Denver CO Homes for Sale as a long term goal, while working on the smaller keywords for short term returns.
-
RE: How do I get searchable image hosting in the cloud?
It used to be that you could embed images on your site from another site (like Picasa) and your site would show as the source. I don't know if this is the case. I would probably put them on my server anyways.
-
RE: REAL demand for a keyword?
The most accurate numbers you'll get from Google Adwords are using the Keyword Tool set to exact match keywords.
-
RE: Affiliate for SEO
Tyler,
I would not be very worried SEO impact, but it could hurt your brand, etc. Affiliate links typically don't pass link juice, and Google usually doesn't penalize you for bad links, anyway (they usually just discount them).
-
RE: Link building techniques
If you go to http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#link-building you'll find a list of the most recommended (mostly white hat) link building methods.
-
RE: How many links per day to avoid sandbox
Timon, if your links are organic white hat links with varied anchor text, etc, you don't need to worry about building too many links.
-
RE: Why a big difference between PR and mR
"40k links from 140 root domains"
Sounds like a bunch of sitewide links...maybe Google is discounting them more heavily than SEOmoz.
-
RE: Why a big difference between PR and mR
Trevor,
One possible explanation is that their PageRank doesn't reflect recent changes (since the public number I only updated about once a quarter).
For a difference that large, though, I would strongly suspect that Google is discounting some of their inbound links that SEOmoz isn't.
-
RE: Free Keyword Tracking Tool
You could always use SEOmoz's tracking tool, since you are a PRO member.
-
RE: Should you stop indexing of short lived pages?
Depending on what the pages are, I would let them get indexed so they can be ranked for any longtail keywords, then perhaps 301 redirect them to the main sale page. Or leave them up with a notice that product is no longer available but display related products.
-
RE: Hosting/design company that is both cheap and has a nice partner package. Any ideas?
In my experience, the best hosting companies aren't the best design firms and vice-versa. I would tend to choose one company for design and another for hosting.
-
RE: Bounce rate
Or better yet, like chocolate ice cream and hot fudge sauce. Mmmm.
-
RE: Pages un-indexed in my site
Yeh, that would do it if all the pages had tags saying the homepage was the canonical url!
Apparently I either didn't notice them, or you had already deleted them when I looked at your page.
-
RE: Pages un-indexed in my site
OK, here is what I see:
-
You don't have a robots.txt file, so it's not that
-
As Tyler mentioned, you have quite a few pages indexed: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aenergyacuity.com&num=100 although most seem to be in the Newsletter subdirectory. THe main pages of your site don't appear to be indexed.
-
I checked several pages of your site and found no meta tags that could be causing the issue.
-
Your links are not nofollow, so it's not that.
One possibility is that Google just hasn't gotten around to indexing the pages yet, perhaps because of your site's low backlinks/PageRank. Are you sure your entire site used to be indexed but no longer is?

-
RE: New Ecom Category
It is partially duplicate content, yes. As long as you're creating a unique title and unique on page text for the new category, you should be fine, though.
-
RE: Can Search engines crawl this page
Google should not be able to crawl that page as long as it is password protected.
However, Google already has it indexed and password protecting it may not induce Google to de-index the page.
-
RE: Site redirect
Dennis,
I think Google will be able to follow the multiple 301 redirects OK, but am unsure if that will cause you to lose more link juice. I would seriously consider reducing it to a single redirect (or none).
-
RE: Link Directory
My reply was in reference to web directories, not link exchange directories.
I do not recommend that you do link exchanges based just on PR. If you want to exchange links, find a few very high quality sites that you can exchange links with that will offer value to your users, not just search engines.
-
RE: Is my company's privacy policy diluting our SEO efforts?
Ben, I would go ahead and change your setup. Having a large amount of duplicate content (that isn't really relevant) across your site certainly isn't going to help, and it could hurt you. I would link to a static page as you mentioned.
-
RE: Link Directory
Some directory links can be helpful. Look for high quality directories that pass PageRank, with a strong editorial process, as well as directories relevant to your niche. Here is a good place to start: http://www.seomoz.org/directories

RE: Issue with Joomla Site not showing in SERP's
Jason,
I believe the greatest reason you are not ranking (even for company name + city) is lack of backlinks. I would definitely recommend working to build quality backlinks.
These resources will help you get started:
http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/link-building-from-a-to-z
Also, I would consider removing the list of keywords at the bottom of the page - that could be viewed as keyword stuffing.
-
RE: Domain Authority
To increase your Domain Authority, you need to build/earn/attract quality backlinks from other websites.

RE: Archetecture to avoid content duplicate
Regarding putting your categories in the top navigation bar - I like that idea, but that's partly just my personal preference.
It seems to me from an SEO standpoint that you probably want to have individual pages for each size filter, so you can get ranked for size-specific keywords.
What could you do to provide useful content that is unique for each size? Like maybe list or show photos of popular models that require that size? Or indicate what type of model requires this size? Add interesting details such as air flow capacity?

RE: Page URL Issue
mydomainname.com/muscle-cars/ and mydomainname.com/muscle-cars/muscle-car-restoration.html are two completely separate urls. I wouldn't worry about that.
-
RE: Best SEO Practices for Top-Level Navigation Structure
"If we no-follow the subnavs, will this not bring more juice to the main nav link?"
No, it will not. Google made this change awhile back - last year, I think.
"it only says "Golf Courses", does this not ruin any and ALL links on ANY other page that may say "Myrtle Beach Golf Courses" that point to that page"
OK, I understand now - you were asking regarding other links on the page, not the submenus per se! Hmmm, I do not know if nofollowing the link would fix that or not. Perhaps someone who has done a test in this area will chime in. -
RE: Link Building - Natural - My site is the best to rank #1
The article I linked you to lists the most recommended link building methods. That's why I thought you might find it useful.

RE: We would like to know where googlebots search from - IP location?
Can't find the reference now, but I'm 99% certain googlebot only crawls from US IP addresses.
-
RE: Page Authority vs Domain Authority
I assume it is because of the math that is used to calculate Page Authority vs Domain Authority. Since both have a maximum score of 100, any given link has to count fewer points towards domain authority than it does towards page Authority, or your Domain Authority would be in the hundreds or thousands (since you have to combine links to all the pages to get domain authority).
"as you grow your page authority the domain authority increases as well?"
Yes, but probably not as much. If a link grows your page authority by one point, maybe it only grows your domain authority by 0.3 points.Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
-
RE: Best SEO Practices for Top-Level Navigation Structure
"Is it in our best interest to: A) Get rid of the subdivisions and consolidate them to one page? or B) Simply "NoFollow" the subdivisions within the Main Navigation?"
From my perspective, probably neither. I see possible user and SEO benefit, for example, to having separate pages for North Myrtle Beach Condos and Myrtle Beach Condos, etc. Nofollowing the links will not flow any more link juice to the other links, so would not be of any help.
If each link is linking to a different page with different anchor text, how does the "first link only" rule apply?
-
RE: Page URL Issue
Shannon,
A couple thoughts:
- The url of your page is one of the less important ranking factors (don't ignore it, but that may not be the main reason you aren't ranking for your keyword)
- I would use mydomainname.com/muscle-cars/ not a subdomain
Hope these help.

RE: Rankings for Home vs. Internal Pages - Potential 301?
If this is their main keyword, I would optimize their homepage for it in addition to keeping the subpage optimized for it. You might even get an indented listing (both pages ranked for the keyword).

RE: Link Building - Natural - My site is the best to rank #1

RE: 404 vs. 200?
If the page has external links pointing to it, I use a 301 so as to not lose the link juice.
-
RE: 404 vs. 200?
Yes, but that isn't the reason I gave.
Matt Cutts said that Google does a pretty good job of recognizing error pages, even if they are 200's.
404 is the correct status to use for page not found, regardless of whether Google can guess whether a 200 page is an error page or not. Based on the fact that 404 is the correct status to use for page not found, I suggest using it rather than a 200 page.
-
RE: 404 vs. 200?
404 is the correct status to return for page not found. Matt Cutts has indicated that Google does a pretty good job of guessing when a 200 page is an error page, but why not make it easy for Google? I always prefer to use 404 or 301 for pages that don't exist.
-
RE: Geo-targeting / Presenting Unique Content
Just to be sure I understand - the url would be the same, but the content and price point would differ based on the user's IP address? I would not recommend that. For one thing, Google is only going to crawl and index one page at any given url. For another (as you mentioned) geo-targeting is not 100% accurate.
I would recommend two separate pages or sections of your site.
-
RE: How would you optimize thousands of images?
I would probably hire someone from oDesk to do the work.
