Welcome to the Q&A Forum

"Targeted Keywords" are usually competitive terms. What if you club more contextual keywords, terms(long-tails), questions.and create valuable content around it.
Same time, based on same subject you can make and embed some cool Powerpoint PPT(Slideshare), infographics (Pinterest)  on same page.
Ensure download time, Typography and overall elegance.
This is what you are targeting audiences and not keywords. Keywords are means. Its ok to analyze search volumes of keywords (I bet they always are approximate, non-accurate and fluctuating)

Serve "intent" of the search not "Search Terms"
Regards,

It seems you have added/modified Robot.txt file later. Wait for some time, Say 15 days.
Also ensure syntax for robot.txt

Regards,

Referral traffic from facebook to your website is important. Not where you have embeded plugin.
Think for engagement and more inbound initiatives like facebook

This is payment related query.
I am sure, There is option to write directly to moz team. They will respond within turnaround time.

Thanks

Authority or No of pages or all other factors are secondary.
What is more important is assessment of our goals.
Why do our website exist?
How rich content we are building? Are we sounding like subject matter expert?
Answers for these questions are more important than one page or many page? 
Page rank, Page authority, Domain Authority these all are metrics as far as we are thinking about google ranking.
Ultimately one page or many pages we are building website for human being.
First purpose and then analysis. Reverse is not possible.

Hi,

Guest blogging is somewhat difficult but must have activity for natural brand building process.
Try http://www.blogdash.com/ and click on "Get Started For Free".
This will save lot of time.
Please note that it works if you are selling something online. You need to be very specific to find blogger for
Cloud Services, technologies etc.

Hope this will help.

Hi nsauser,
One way to achieve this is disable submit button through javascript after 1st click.
Ask developer how he can do it for specific time period. There must be some way.
Other way is after on thank you page, provide good navigation options for user, so he will not come back and hit same button.

Thanks

Person who will work as "Landing Page Expert" for any competitive website shall possess 
1.Good experience on tools like "Crazyeggs.com" or other other visual analysis tools.
2. He must recommend changes based on technology as well heuristic aesthetics.

This is tough challenge, but you need person who have his/her both hemispheres sharp.

**Can somebody please help me to implement microdata/microformats codes for our ecommerce product pages? **
Please guide me if you have some CSS example for the same.

Thanks.

Please try this

I assume every old site has 3 different .htaccess files

Put Following codes in .htaccess of http://www.abc.com

Options -Indexes RewriteEngine onOptions +FollowSymLinks RewriteRule ^/wines.html _ _ http://www.ghi.com/wines[L,R=301]

Put Following codes in .htaccess of http://www.def.com

Options -Indexes RewriteEngine onOptions +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^__/trade.html_ _http://www.ghi.com/trade [L,R=301]

Put Following codes in .htaccess of http://www.ghi.com Options -Indexes RewriteEngine on__Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteRule ^_/winery-tours.html _ _http://www.ghi.com/visit/taste _ [L,R=301]

It should work. Clear browser history & check.

1. Major drop across can be found on those pages

A. where additional content been added  B. Low CTR can be a factor C. Excessive/duplicate Tags in Blog Post D. Not modified since long (Drop can be observed in categories-subcategories across all sections which we have not updated since long)   
E. Keyword Stuffing -

Actions Immediate - 1. Are you using some plugin for link automation? Check if any link through H2/H1 Tag if found disable same link through SMART SEO Plugin of Blog 2. Check all bold/Italicization of keywords. 3.ReWrite URL and 301 For non performing Long URLs? 4. Rewrite all dropped article with greate information spiced with images, graphics, PPT etc. (Visitors engagement) To be implemented through wordpress 1.Add Sub-headers (Category >> Subcategory)  For visitor to know where he/she  is? 2. Font Size/ Style, shot codes, rich User interface
 3. Add elements like Images/ Videos for better use experience and interactivity 4.  Implement Canonical tags. Around  rss  (link:http://www.yoursitename.com/blog/ ) 5. Give special attention to typography, show only 4-5 articles on Home page. Not more than that.6. Use Woothemes for better UI.

Please follow these steps

1. Download Xenu Link Sleuth

2. Install & Run Xenu Link sleuth

3. Run Report & Copy all 404 pages on your site

4. Now fix broken links with technical resource.

5. If you dont want to put page which you have removed i.e.  404: sitename/country/country/services

redirect it to ideal candidate. i,e, to main category or similar page.

If you need further help for redirection, let me know

first one is typo - Please take help from programmer/designer to fix this error.

second error - It is about page, so please fix this with adding same page or using  301

Third one error -  sitename/country/country/services fix it with 301 to appropriare page, or main category.

Trust me this is most difficult question, and often many people are confuse about mysterious bounce rate metric.

Bounce rate is simply request to page on server. No matter request is from human or some javascript call.

Technically it is

1. The percentage of website visitors who see just one page on your site.
2. The percentage of website visitors who stay on the site for a small amount of time (usually five seconds or less).

I would suggest to give priority for some visual sciences like "hitmap" or "Page Overlay".

Do not rely on analytics numbers. It is always better to have some advance segments to measure visitor engagements & content loved by users.

In summary, Our prime concern is content consumption and visitor engagement wrt goals and not detailed research on Visits vs Unique visitors.

Hope this will help.

If these problems are occured due to product category parameters here solution

Cross check results with:  **site:mydomain.com inurl:product  **

If you wanted to block a category parameter from being crawled it might also be useful to have them organized into separate directories.If you wanted to send a spider like Screaming Frog or Gsite Crawler through a section of the site to create segmented sitemaps so you can see which major parts of the site are having indexation problems. it would be much easier to do so if there was a directory you could ask it to crawl down from.

**Rel next / prev or View All Canonical - **Fine for pagination when used correctly but won’t solve most faceted navigation issues.

Rel Canonical - Helps with same facets in different order (e.g. blue/small/cheap Vs small/cheap/blue) But not designed for different facets (e.g. blue/small/cheap Vs blue/medium/cheap)

Do you have regular reporting process? If yes, Then please do following things

1. Analyze past trends, Make conclusion with consolidated changes, seasonality in data

2. Make summary Week Over Week, Month Over Month. Last Six Month would be ideal.

I think this is best you can do in this case.

If there was no such daily reporting. Then take it as oppurtunity & challange to redefine KPI's & Report formats.

Sometimes, Luck came in disguise

I think to achieve good results for any "vertical" focus has to be actual users and not search volumes. SEO, SEM,  & Inbound Social Marketing has to be startegic & creative. (Say Adding Value?)

Here few suggestions & features I liked from Urbanspoon , Expedia

1. Scope for UGC (User Generated Content) : Reviews, Ratings, How to Reach, Overall Experience.
2. Solid site architecture. ( For fun we name it wysiwyg architecture ) - Panoramic view of Hotel room, restaurant, Car for Rent Or Add value using more relevant modules on Page.

3. Many  great websites are missing implementation  of  Microdata using schema.org
4. Sectionwise Sitemap.xml, Image Sitemap, Video Sitemap
5. User-centric Navigation (Internal linking with partial anchor text)
6. Add Value using cool Facebook fan page or app
7. Promote every effort & channel strategically
8. Implement Canonical tags across Multilingual TLDs.

Hope, I have made attempt to enlist major features which Tripadvisor is missing
