I use labels to track keywords for different Adwords campaigns within SEO MOZ. For instance, I have a label for "container shipping", "motorcycle shipping", and a "car shipping".

RE: Transferring of analytic data
Sounds like these guys are trying to dodge you. Here's what probably happened. Someone opened GA under their personal gmail account and now doesn't know how to transfer it. If this is the case, you have to contact Google. I believe they can transfer the information over, but with the consent of the former owner. "If" the former owner doesn't want to transfer the info over, get a lawyer involved; preferably one versed in internet law.

RE: How to increase page authority
Hi wcsinc, increasing page and domain authority takes time. The best way to get there is writing kick ass content that your users will love AND that web developers/bloggers will "want" to link to.
I recommend reading chapter 7 http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo.

RE: How can I optimise for Google Products?
It's been a LONG time since I used Google Base. I used to believe in Data Feed Optimization. Basically I would SEO down to the product page.
You may want to look into a service that will take your data and feed it to many other sites too. http://www.godatafeed.com

RE: I request a WBF on article submission to Demand Media, EzineArticles, & more.
Thanks to both of you. You were both awesome. The agreement with my client was going to end in 2 months. That's why I wanted to take the short term approach. I took the owner of the company to breakfast today and had a long and honest conversation. He wants to retire and said the long term link building approach is what he wants to keep a stable retirement. He said short term would be too volatile. He is giving me 15% profit sharing + on top of my current compensation so I can be incentivized to stay & grow the company. Over 90% of the business is driven by internet.
EGOL - I am launching a WordPress blog on my site and keeping the best content for myself. This will be my long term approach. I have about 20 AWESOME articles for my blog AND an eBook that I will give away as a download. I am also going to take your advice on getting my content on highly authoritative sites.
Daniel - I will be submitting the 'okay' articles to ezinearticles.com & eHow just to provide some more links.

RE: 1 million links can harm your site?
At Mozcon one of the speakers (Martin McDonald) pointed 3 million links to my site. Nothing happened. It was as if Google already knew about his sites. But the good thing is that my rankings were not affected good or bad. Sounds like you just paid for links. Don't let G know about that. If it's a legit site, keep it. If it's a porn site or something similar, I would think about getting rid it. If it's a strong website, keep it. Only you can make that call.

RE: Anchor links percent
What you are showing me is 1 paragraph with a bunch of links. It's not normal. I don't think there is an "anchor link percent" factor, but you are clearly trying to game Google's algorithm to pass link juice.
Make it natural.
-
RE: How Can You Get the Most out of Attending Mozcon?
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.

Is it me or is SEOMOZ Q&A slow
I try and answer many questions here on SEOMoz Q&A, but the page load speed seems so slow I think my browser is going to time out.
I don't remember it being this slow. Anybody else noticing slow loading (especially when asking, answering, or replying to questions)?

RE: Changing Domain Name
If the current domain is a WP site and the new .edu is going to be a WP site too, then this is easy. Export the sql file (mysql) through myphp admin so you have a back up. Copy all the files via FTP.
Upload the WP files you copied and hook them up to the same database.
You can have many websites pulling the same information from the same database. 301 the old URLs.

RE: What are your biggest focuses for Internet Marketing in 2012? New Year's Goal?
Hey Thomas! How you been? Here are my 3:
- Highly relevant content creation.
- Continue growing my Advanced Web Analytics strategy I learned from Avinash. Oh I forgot to tell you, I took his Analytics Ninja course.
- International SEO to reduce PPC costs.
If I could write a 4th, it would be schema.org.

RE: Fashion store is throbbing ....
Shanaki, check your Google Analytics. Google released an update called Penguin 2.0 around May 22nd. If you got slammed around that day, it was an algorithm update. You need to check your GA to see what sources decreased otherwise we can't help answer your questions. GA > Traffic Sources > Sources > Overview. Maybe it's only one of the sources that is bringing your site down, but you have to investigate there.
Watch this video where Matt Cutts talks about
Why does a new page's ranking change over time?

RE: Facebook Likes
I don't look at that as paying for links, although I see what you mean. As far as I know, "Likes" are not part of the ranking factor. But it is more likely that someone who "likes" or "Shares" your info may link to you.Rand wrote a post on this in Ranking Factors.
-
RE: What are your biggest focuses for Internet Marketing in 2012? New Year's Goal?
I use GA more than ever now. To tell you the truth, I felt that I know a lot about internet marketing. Tips n Tricks no longer helped. Strategy was way more important. So I needed to come "full circle" in my internet marketing efforts. So now I can see most of my work's performance, whether good or poor, through advanced web analytics. The last thing left before I get my Market Motive Certification is passing the interview. I have to defend my Web Analytics Measurement Model in front of a panel (Avinash and John).
I had to make a custom dashboard for my website. I can email it to you so you can see my end result.

RE: Domain Authority
Yes this can happen. Adding your listing to poor quality directories can bring your DA down. If you remove the directory listings from low quality websites, then your traffic may increase and your DA go up (assuming everything else is the same). Try it out and if your traffic drops, put the listings back in.
-
RE: Linking strategy between my own sites
I was going to create a few small sites that were specific to a service. I was too lazy to do multiple sites so I only did one bigger site. Now everytime I make a new page, it starts ranking immediately on the lower part of page one for my targeted keywords. The site built strength overall. I would probably do exactly as EGOL says and redirect everything to one site.
-
RE: Link Diversity
i partially agree with Chris. However, links need to be distributed to different landing pages. For god sakes, if the only page a website can build links to is the home page, then none of the other pages deserve to rank.

RE: Using an auto directory submission
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!

RE: What's an inexpensive way to maintain domain registration privacy?
I use Dreamhost and my domains are $10/yr whether or not there is Privacy or not. Just fill in whatever you need to in the fields if you need to or make it private. I have never had an issue with Dreamhost.

RE: Your Experience with Exact Match Anchor Text Penalties
JC Pennys got in trouble for this. Matt Cutts manually deranked them:
Just don't overdo your act. Throw in variations of the keyword. Try and make it look more natural.
Also, use your Google Analytics to find keywords that may actually be converting at a higher rate.

RE: Types of SEO Help
You are mixing designers with marketers, not good. I have known many designers who say they 'know' SEO. Designers are designers. If I were in your situation, I would find a developer/designer AND and SEO.
I do development and SEO. I do not do design. You may be looking for two different people/companies. One definitely for you c# development project and the other a skilled SEO.

RE: Does posting on Craigslist damage our SEO or reuptation?

Yes, it's a Nofollow.

RE: How many characters will Google read in a header space on a page?
I have NEVER heard anything about that. I would have remembered.
I just copied and pasted everything between from my site and came up with 8000+ characters. I RANK WORLDWIDE!
Ignore whatever you heard my friend. Hope that helps.

RE: Best kind of backlinks
My best backlinks came to me. I wrote great content and somehow a couple universities thought it would help their students. And guess what? The links were FREE (my favorite four-letter-word). LOL
-
RE: Some posts not showing on Google search if I seach them using post title?
Why would you want to "protect" your articles? Why not rel="canonical" them? If you fear getting scraped, put links in the content pointing back to your site.
Yoast has a great plugin so that's not the issue.
Here is one of the main reasons you will NEVER rank. Your domain is using a GOOGLE trademark. http://www.androidgadgematic.com/

RE: Link Building Plan Need some tips
** I think you would be better of building a blog on your website and building original content there.**
YES! I totally agree. Start using the best content on YOUR own blog.
1 directory submission to BBB will probably be WAY more effective than 50 wack article directories. Also look into joining the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce if you are in OC. Real companies join those organizations. Google knows that. Also, spammers won't want to spend the money to do that stuff.

RE: Does the complete url count as backlink?
It counts. One link is better than no link. Just make sure you don't SPAM. Write great content!
-
RE: Some posts not showing on Google search if I seach them using post title?
You are using a trademarked name in your Domain. Here in USA, it's illegal to use a Trademarked name without permission from the company.
It's like saying appleiphoneme.com
-
RE: I have a .com site but I am only ranking good on google for Canada and not the USA.
DO NOT DO THIS! Andrew is trying to sell worldwide. By geo-targeting ONLY in the US, he will lose ALL google.ca rankings and any possibility to rank in any country outside the US. Locations in GWT should not be set to any country.
My suggestions to rank in the US are getting links from sites in the US or in the country you are trying to rank for. You don't necessarily need to move your site to a server here in the US. I have my server in the US and I rank in google.de, google.co.uk, google.au and many more.
-
RE: Why links coming from this page are never found? (opensiteexplorer)
Valery, I gave you a thumbs up.
**I have a client in a very niche industry, and probably less than 20% of their backlinks show up in OSE. **
GWT reports 100's more root domains linking to my site while Roger Mozbot only reports about 100. OSE is not by any means perfect, but it serves as competitor analysis.
Alex, don't get lost and only focus on link building. WRITE GREAT CONTENT so other sites want to link to you.

RE: Which forum platform has the best "SEO Functionality"?
I have experience with IP Boards (invisionpower.com). Their software could be very powerful, but you will need to know some coding to be able to do certain things. I haven't used it in over 1 year, but everytime I wanted to do something basic, it seemed like I had to do coding. At the time I thought those features were something that should be standard with no coding required.
Xenforo was AWESOME. Look at their demo. You can request one and I think it's for 3 days. You can extend it too.
I work with vBulletin and they have too many security issues. I used to need to upgrade almost once per month.
If I was able to rank them in order, it would go like this:
-
Xenforo
-
vbulletin
-
IP Boards
I have never used VBSEO so I can't say anything about it.
Hope that helps.

RE: Flat vs. subdomain web structure
I agree. When I use subdomains, I start thinking about FTP. I also think about the user having the best user experience. If he wants to make one site that markets 50 states, then using a CMS would be the answer. But creating 50 subdomains would be repetitive. I his case I would use folders and if the independent partner needs access to the site, then add them as a user with limited site access.

RE: Mass article submission
I agree. You'll be notified in GWT. Forget about trying to get you site in DMOZ. Submit it and forget about it. I have been trying to get into DMOZ for a couple years now.

To answer this question: Do search engines only count links that have google analytics?
No. That sounds ridiculous. What about omniture and webmetrics?
-
RE: Purchasing Quality Backlinks
Here are two I recommend.
BBB - Better Business Bureau - About $400. The good thing is that you can buy credibility by getting this.
Yahoo Directory - $300/yr (I think)
I agree with Boodreaux. business.com and botw are fine too. There used to be discounts on some of these.
-
RE: All images are noindex will opening this at once be an issue?
I don't think anything will happen. You're conversion rate may drop because 20K images will now be available in image search. I remember once I started ranking for the keyword: car. I saw a big increase in organic, but a drop in conversions. Try to be careful how you label your images. Also, make annotation in GA so you can compare before and after.
-
RE: Can your site be penalized for changing the url structure and if so how long till you get back?
If you already did 301s, then build links to those pages. Check your GWT and see if they are counting it as a 404. Also submit a sitemap in GWT ASAP.
-
RE: What are the best SEO agencies for link building?
Daniel, thanks for asking this question. I don't personally know any decent ones so I will be building a link building department soon. I really hope someone puts a decent company here.
One of the things I have done (which has worked) was article spinning. I wrote a bunch original content and had a Philippine company spin it for me. I don't really recommend it if someone is just starting out. I can PM yu the information.
What about these guys that Rand recommends? http://www.seomoz.org/article/recommended#link-building

RE: Html Improvements Missing title tags
We don't have a clue what the issue would be. You may want to see if you are using an SEO plugin for titles. Sometimes what happens with plugins is that the software is upgraded and then the plugin doesn't work. If it TITLES used to work and now they don't (nothing changed), then we have no idea. I suspect there was some change in your code.
-
RE: Title tags not displaying correctly?
You need to learn about the SEO Tools available here in SEOmoz. Put every URL you can in here and tweak until you get an A.

RE: SEO companies
Here are my 2 cents. Yes they can work and "yes" I did it years ago and I did not get caught. I don't do it anymore. Here is the real reason I don't do it. Currently there are about 15 employees. "IF" I would have gamed the algorithm 1 year ago, then today there would have been 5 people laid off. I don't want my client to lay off anybody especially since many of them have kids and a mortgage.
This is the same reason I don't run Google Adwords to the max. Let's say that I get 20,000 unique visits per month coming from Adwords. If I am maxed out on acquiring traffic, then any decrease would mean downsizing. There are only so many people searching Google/Yahoo/Bing for keywords.
Instead I would want my traffic to be consistent and reliable so everybody can keep their jobs; including me.

RE: Google analytics realtime reporting same keywords with different capitalization
The only time I would expect that is if a marketer is using the Google URL builder and put "Scrabble dictionary" as the keyword.
-
RE: Ecommerce: Add new range to current website or Create a new one
I agree with Ben.
I also believe that those new products should be somewhat relevant to your domain easywatering.co.uk and/or your business. DOn't be spamming just to try and land business.
