It depends how your site is generating it's rankings. Is it a competitive keyword or a non competitive keyword? Do you have high keyword density on the main page now? How many links do you have pointing to your main page? If you do split up your pages you might lose your rankings. Also you will be changing the destination of the pages so you might be starting from scratch. You might consider keeping the main page and adding the second page with a link prominantly on your main page. This way you keep your rankings. You need to be careful with how you move forward. How long have you been ranking for this keyword? You also need to make a business decision on whether or not making the change is better for your business than keeping the rankings. If you determine that your site will be much better for the user and generate better conversions from visitors to buyers then it might make sense to take the ranking hit start a Plc campaign and work with a white hat seo pro to regain rankings.

Do Follow and No Follow Attributes?
I have a blog on Trulia and Active Rain which are real estate websites. I see that they both are Do Follow.
My question is how much link juice do these sites pass a long to my site when I write a blog post on these sites and create a link to my main site?
I've heard somewhere that even though a link has a Do Follow attribute it passes little link juice in certain cases like a no follow attribute.
Also, if a link is a No Follow link, does it still pass along some link juice or is it completely juiceless.
Is there a way to see which sites pass the most link juice to my site?
Thanks all.

Canonical or 301 redirect, that is the question?
So my site has duplicate content issues because of the index.html and the www and non www version of the site. What's the best way to deal with this without htaccess? Is it a 301 redirect or is it the canonical, or is it both?

How to launch a Google + Campaign?

Now obviously I'd like to get a lot of +'s but whats the best way to go about it? How do I get people to one sign up for a google acount to create a google+ profile and then + my site? Sounds like a double campaign. Any body have any experience with this?

RE: How do you check to see if your site (site A) has already been linked to by another site (site B) when you have a large site with lots of links
First step is to visit that site and visualy confirm if they are linking to your site. If you find the link then use the seomoz bar for Firefox to make sure the link is being followed. If you can't find the link that way then I would suggest heading over to Google Webmasters and checking inbound links from there. You can do this in both analytics and the regular webmasters tools. If that doesn't work you can also try going to the google search bar and typing in link:www.mysite.com and getting a preview of links to the site. You can of course use the link tool on this site to get info but remember it is updated once per week I believe. If all else fails you can contact the site owner or webmaster and ask them where the link is so that you can do your part and promote that page.

RE: Domain Age. What's a good age?
Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it. I used the Open Site Explorer tool here but for some reason I don't see the links that are pointing to my site. Google Webmasters shows i have over 1000 links which are all natural links and another tool shows that I have over 750 links.
What would you change about the site?
How would you rebuild the site?
It is a work in progress so your advice helps.
Thanks again.

RE: Domain Age. What's a good age?
Now I see sites above me that have domain age on their side but they don't have as many links. I have a lot of links that are organic. I also have a more robust site full of unique content that my competitors don't have. So in this case what steps should I take? Thank you for your advice.

Self hosted or YouTube Hosted Videos for SEO?
I am trying to plug holes in my site and the one thing that is lacking is unique videos. I was wondering what is the best way to go about videos for seo purposes?

Algorithm Question
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out why my site and a competitors site literally trade places in the SERPS every week?
My site has a boatload of content with an active blog with a lot of links versus a competitor that has virtually no links, limited content, 404 errors on the site.
The links I have are all natural links with the exception of directories like JoeAnt.
The only thing their site has is Domain Age where as mines is 4 months old.
Any insight?

RE: Duplicate content issue. Delete index.html and replace with www.?
I use dream weaver as my HTML editor, I templated out my site so I wonder if I can just put the code at the top of the template and have it update every page on my site. Now where in the head do I put the code? At the very beginning? Also I know yahoo, godaddy and others promote unlimited bandwidth and storage while others have a tiered plan. Isn't it better to have unlimited? I'm just asking since there is an up charge if you go over the bandwidth or storage on the other hosting plans. Thank you for your help.

RE: Duplicate content issue. Delete index.html and replace with www.?
Thank you, I am trying to figure out how to do the 301 redirect but when i asked yahoo they say that the php code is not a real 301 redirect when I asked them. And they only do the 301 redirect on the ecommerce hosting plans which I have no need for. Any insight? Thanks for your answer.

RE: Is there any value to writing articles for Article Directories such as EzineArticles anymore?
Hello Harry, I think ezines are good to supplement your link building efforts. You can also use your links to show your customers that you have content on various sites around the web. Yes, ezines have been devalued by google but there is still some value there. First you should create great content for your site, have an active blog, build non-paid back links, optimize your social interactions, then go the route of ezines and hubpages last. Diversity of links still help.

RE: Is releasing Press Releases via PRWeb worthwhile for SEO?
Hello Harry, I asked a similar question the other day and one response I received was that pr news wire was the best of the bunch. I was looking at a few pr sites. Pr buzz which is membership based and only $300 per year with unlimited submissions. Pr wire which has a tiered level pay structure Pr news wire which is also tiered Online pr news which has a free submission and tiered level as well I would run a search on open site explorer of these to analyze them separately.

Yahoo Directory, BOTW, BBB and Business.com for local SEO?
I've heard conflicting reports about using these paid directories for SEO purposes. I am a local Realtor with a website and blog. My site is on page one but near the bottom since the national sites dominate the top. Would these directories help me for local seo purposes? Does Google consider these paid links and therefore devalues them? How difficult is it to get into these directories since they can decline a submission and there goes my money? Are these directories worth the money? In total it would be like $1200 do get on all. I've already done what I believe to be a lot of good seo practices. Emphasis on I believe since I'm no expert. Just learning as I go. Now I'm up against the big brands in real estate and meet to compete. Any tips if these directories are worth it and anything else I should look to do?
