Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Google determines what to display as the text may be more relevant to the search query compared to your meta description tag.

I agree that Thomasnet is a waste of money... I haven't seen any increases in organic positions with clients that paid to have the Thomasnet listing

Yikes...  an online gambling site!  I'd try to focus on social media link building as much as possible. The guest blogs are going to be very difficult given the subject matter.  Build out the social profiles and generate content to share on the networks.

I agree with both Mayank and Marcus above.  To do this, the site and the blog need to be on the same server.  The DNS record can only point to a domain / sub domain... not sub directories (folders).

I'm pretty sure the Moz crawler does not consider the rel="prev" nor "next" commands.  Def check out the post provided by pikka.

Only if notified of unnatural links would I file a reconsideration request.  Focus on building more links and creating new content.

I see that a comment was left on the knockoff graphic at http://visual.ly/us-2013-diamond-jewelry-trend.  I agree with @Antony Wilson that you could offer the original version in return for a link back!

Totally agree!  What's nice is that they have several "pre-built" segments you can easily select by drag and dropping.  I wish Google would stop making constant changes to their products.

Hey @Mihai, 

I've only worked with a few eCommerce systems and found that the two most SEO friendly are:

• Fission system eCommerce  -   http://www.360psg.com/fission-commerce
• WordPress eCommerce Plugin  -  http://getshopped.org/wordpress-commerce

Both systems are very customizable but neither are FREE solutions.  When it comes to an eCommerce system, I feel your better off using a paid service with tech support.  I hope these systems meet your needs!

Using option B allows you to gather info on them before the receive access to ebook. However, if you were to block access to the page, option c would work to still gather user info. You can also track the pdf's off the landing page but this allows the user to have a local copy and 'share' your content without registering their information.

I would personally recommend option C as long as it's a hidden or protected page.

Hey Kevin,

I can confirm that the page does pull up in the Facebook directory but when doing a URL search in Google, the page still does not pull up!  There are no Country nor Age Restrictions on the page.

It appears that DishCostsLess is not the 'name' on neither the Facebook nor your Google +.  Perhaps changing the name to "DISH TV by DishCostsLess" would help.

I'm with number 1 also.  The less information required, the better

Totally agree that the plan is a good move!  Keep the URLs short and sweet.  301's will pass along any linkjuice and forward visitors to the new URLs.

I would send links from your social media accounts to your blog.  There is no need to post the entire article on your Facebook.  A quick teaser description followed by the link to your blog is all you need!

There could be an issue with the crawler and the javascript.  Running the PageSpeed Analysis,  there were a few flags for JavaScript.  I have a screen shot of the overview.

I'd suggest to create several landing pages that are optimized for particular keywords, this way each page has a real focus.

Spot on Doug!!   The Domain Authority will fluctuate a bit each time the site is index.  To increase domain authority,  you need good quality links pointing to your site. Rand had a great post about building "assets".

I would go with the separate CSS for IE8 visitors.  I agree that many WILL NOT download or even update their browser.
