Hi

In my experience i would stay away from sites that offer paid links as these can effect  all your hard SEO efforts in one fail swoop.  Such benefits can often be short lived and can often result in gaining irrelevant links to your website and don't actually bring you any increase in traffic, PR, PA and may actually penalize your site as a result.

i wouldn't focus  on gaining x to improve PA i would  aim to gain quality links naturally and not all at once as this will also set off Google's spam, link farming alarm bells.  By gaining quality links individually and slowly it gives you the opportunity to assess the quality, and the relevancy of each one-  I know this is the slow and hard way to gaining quality links but it will pay off in the end and your PA, PR, SERPs traffic will improve in due course and you can rest assured your efforts are legitimate and don't put your website and SEO efforts as risk.

Might not be the answer you wanted to hear but hope this helps

Hi

yes there are some tools available in the pro version of SEOMOZ the you can use the rankings and history section to show your positions for that keyword and also shows the actual result page and where you and your competitors rank for that keyword.  you can also use the  on-page tool which allows you to setup a report card for a targeted keyword  and  it grades your results based on the on-page optimisation  of that page for the individual keyword.

Rank checker:

1.) setup and campaign for your domain

2.) add your competitors to that campaign

3.) check under the  rankings section for your keywords and where you rank

4.) click on the targeted keyword to view more in depth detail  ( it shows you graphs and stats for that keyword) scroll down the page to view the current ranking for that keyword it highlights you and your competitors positions.

On-page optimisation

1.) use the on-page tool to generate a report based on the keyword optimisation of the page url.

this returns a graded report of how well optimised the targeted page URL is for the keyword.

You can also check the back links of a competitor  using the link analysis section

hope this helps

This is true from what i have seen also, but its some what annoying as this type of system assumes that all websites are of  an editorial nature or reviewing  products etc.

What happened to every day business websites who are too busy running a business and don't really have time or a subject base to be writing articles.  they just have a website advertising their business services that dont really change and therefore have no real reason to change their website that often and are very unlikely to have people Google +1  votes for there services or their about page.

hi

I wish to setup a business page on google+ business page for my  clients but it requires a personal profile,   my clients don't want a personal profile but do want the business page.

Currently i have set them up with pages on my personal profile but  do can i allow the client to manage it? so i am not sure this is the best way

Whats the best way for web developers  to setup Google+ accounts for clients?

Yes the warning do matter they are trying to inform you of items you should pay attention that can impact your rankings on search engines.

1.) The number of links per page:  having to many links per page can appear like spam during a search engine crawl  therefore effecting your ability to rank well.   Do you really require that many links per page?  Are most of  these links actually ever being used? I suggest you use site overlay in Google analytic and pin point which of those link are most valuable to your website and think about reducing the ones which are rarely clicked on.

2.) Having such long title tags is a waste of time as search engines will certainly not parse titles longer than 70 characters  any longer than this are cut off and not displayed .  Again these are  factors that will appear like spam injection in your title.

3.) Long URL are also unavoidable for spam and keyword injection reasons i would suggest shorter URLs.

Overall if your site is producing the errors you mentioned above  I would seek to resolving them as they are not good in terms of search engine rankings or  pleasant for visitors to your website.
