This question is not clear. Are you saying http code 200 or quantity 200?  There is nothing called a 200 redirect. A http code 200 is normal. 301s are an 'old' URL pointing to a new URL.  A blog post beautifully demonstrated this yesterday. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/an-seos-guide-to-http-status-codes

Listen to Matt Cutts awesome answer here LOL!!!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suTDT6-Q8NE

I think your special characters may depend on the search engine. Go to Russia's search engine and find out if your URLs display better there: http://www.yandex.com/

I believe Yandex is more popular there than Google is.

You can go with either one. Your question is probably the number 1 asked question on Moz. LOL

I would do folders "if" creating a multi-lingual site. Let's take WordPress for example. 1 folder, 1 install, 2 languages, no multiple logins, 1 database.

For subdomains, there is no passing of PR. A subdomain is like having a brand new site. subdomain.example.com and example.com are completely different sites. The only reason I would run subdomains is if I am doing something where the "site search" algorithm will be tweaked a little... like craigslist.org. Every city has a subdomain and the algorithm may be just a little different. Maybe you may need a subdomain for security issues, but in general go with folders.

Also, the stronger example.com/english becomes, the more likely example.com/mandarin becomes. It shares link juice. This example doesn't happen when you use subdomains.

Hope that helps!

Why not just NO INDEX / NO FOLLOW the page? What is the reason behind this? Do you want Google not to index your https page? Duplicate content? All checkouts have https.

Your clients don't understand the value of BBB. I use the BBB on nearly every page of my site to lend credibility. In addition, I use it in the SERPs to show credibility. A+ BBB Rating!

I market on Craigslist. Shhhhh don't tell anyone....

Yes, it's a Nofollow.

I concur! Ezinearticles has a ton of Adsense crap on it anyway. I have a couple links coming from them, but it's not something I increased rankings for. Instead of using that time on article writing, I integrated ADDTHIS and Facebook Comments into my site.  More shares and likes, more interest.

I was going to say the same thing. Also bring business cards. Make a friend, not an acquaintance. There will be 1 party after each Moz day. You can meet people there too. Last time I was at MozCon I stayed the weekend and took the Seattle Underground Tour. Explore Seattle, it's cheap. Oh, use the lunch time to mingle.

@JML, partial truths? Look at my site here Ship Overseas. Facebook Likes & Comments.

I'm not joking about having Nigerians use my services. There is a market I uncovered that I didn't know about.

Well, let's see what you have. Post "your" kick ass content and I'll run OSE on it. I wasn't trying to confuse anyone or "obfuscate" the poster.
