I use:

http://www.web-site-map.com/xml-sitemaps.php

The free limit is sometimes under 5k some times over. You can check the limit on the home page - it varies a lot during the same day.

Hope it helps.

Agree with Tom.

Synonyms and secondary target keyword phrases are  a must on any given page.

I don't agree with David but he might know better.

In my opinion you should use the less relevant real estate of the site/pages - footer will be just great for both users and Google (to spot it on every page).

However this is just an opinion but I am sure the placement of the address within the site or a particular page is not "more relevant" for google depending on the position. It just needs to be present.

Hope it helps.

Well if you're site is about casinos and gambling that can even be useful for you - it can help as google said that linking out to similar content can even help your ranking by showing users quality similar content.
If not for sure it won't help and more then that it can even harm you.
if you post the link in the footer of the page for example it won't even help them and more then that it can hurt you as they can smell a paid links in many ways.

As for the other links of the page, a new link will dilute the link juice. (10 links out -> link juice / 10 for each one, adding a new one will mean link juice / 11 - even if y ou use no follow for one or more links)

I'm having some issues with the directories from http://www.webdisney.com/suggest/default.asp

A lot of the sumbit links are 404.

If that's just on my side sorry .. if not it will be great if someone can review them : add new ones if needed and remove the expired ones.

Thanks.

Agree.

We did a link building campaign for a german website (dot de) and most of the links were from .com websites. They started to rank very well on google.com and google.de had only minor impacts. Is clear that the links should be from the same country zone if you want to rank in that particular area.

You should focus on links from .com domain - but that should be easier then building links from .ca.

You should also get a google maps account with your US location - if you have one. That alone should bring up your results in the US.

The SEO moz is showing an error on one of the sites within my SE Moz account campaign under Crawl Diagnostics: Title tag missing or empty. No problem here but the file associated with this issue is sitemap.xml and that just dose't look right as as far as I know xml files are title tag free.

I've searched around and i've  been able only to confirm my initial thought that sitemap.xml dose't use a title tag .. like any other xml.

is this an issue ? (the error that is) or i should let it slide.

can it be fixed ? if yes, how ?

Thanks !

seomoz tool is showing duplicate pages for those 3. Each of the version has at least 1 internal and even external links.

all 3 respond in the browser with the same layout/page

Can I use a code like this ? (i've added one entry for index.php as it looks like the site has both an index.html and an index.php)

Probably the simplest way to redirect the non-www to the www is to put this in your .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.html
RewriteRule ^(.)index.html$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^./index.php
RewriteRule ^(.)index.php$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks mate !

More then helpful.

how it will behave if the redirect is not correct ? It will be visible ? (like a never-ending refresh of the main page)

is the last part safe ? as far as the infinite loop things that some are afraid of..

Hello,

Please let me know what are the exact right steps in order to get rid of the duplicate content issues related with:

www.domain.com/index.html same as www.domain.com  without creating an infinite loop.

Do you have a step by step guide posted within seomoz including 301 redirect for non www to www for all urls and index.whatever to main domain name without going into a infinite loop ?

btw how to you spot the loop ? is it obvious like never ending refresh of the home page ?

thanks a lot !
