Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Just curious what the pro's on here think is the reason why our site got hammered recently. The URL is www.jobshadow.com.  We've got gobs of quality content that had been ranking for quite a few keywords.  Even one from Rand himself http://www.jobshadow.com/interview-with-seo-and-seomoz-founder-rand-fishkin/ Rankings for even the exact match domain keyword 'Job Shadow' have been pummeled.  Anyway, we've got a pretty solid link profile I would think. We also have a very high user time on the site, thus suggesting the organic traffic was engaged when Google ranked us for those keywords. We have lots of unsolicited inbound links and even recent ones from PBS.   I'm not really sure what it takes to please the "machine" at this point.  Curious as to what everyone here thinks.

Hi, I've done some digging around the Q and A and SEOMoz articles.  Still not finding exactly what I need. I'm just looking for a tool that will quickly help me find the best contact email on a particular website.  Whether it be the one the site is registered to a different one or both. Thanks in advance for the help. Aaron

Just looking for some opinions here.   I'll be hiring a summer intern to help with marketing, spreading the word, and link building. Just wanted to get some feedback on what I'm thinking of having them do. 1.  Run back link checks on all competitor websites and ask the owner/webmaster if they'd consider linking to us. 2.  Directory submit to any relative directories that pass link juice. 3.  Find relevant websites or forums and ask for links, run broken link checker while on their site as well.   Maybe offer their audience some sort of freebee or special product/e-book. 4.  Create hang outs on Google +, groups on Linkedin.com, Quora etc.  Follow relevant Twitter followers and post content regularly. Trying to think of a few other things as well.   Looking forward to your opinions.  Thanks.
