Just think of how often you have really read the video transcript of the wbf videos .... probably, hardly ever you do - they're basically for the search engines, to be able to index your video according to the content you're talking about.
By the way, as transcripts are usually "spoken language", by transcribing podcasts you cover tons of search phrases you wouldn't normally publish in an article - but these are phrases people DO use when searching.
sorry, the problem is solved.
In case anybody is having similar problems, most probably it's related to the URL you're sending to seomoz. Compare with the OpenSiteExplorer results!
sorry guys, we had a bug in our app adding a trailing slash which sometimes led to misleading results
Were you able to check if any site is linking to those urls containing /search/ or /google-search/? If so, try to integrate a 301 redirect via htaccess or PHP (shout if you need more info on that).
In the robots.txt, put
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search/
Disallow: /google-search/
to exclude these "directories" from crawling ...
There's no such thing as a certificate that automatically imporves your SEO or increases your rankings. I guess most users here will agree that SEO improvement for a site translates to hard, ongoing work done by professionals.
If you're referring to SSL certificates - they're not related to SEO ... check out http://www.thawte.com, for example, I believe they are among the biggest companies specialized in the area of SSL certificates.
I'm not quite sure how these results got into your landing pages list ... is /search and /google-search the usual path you are using on your site? When you type www.yourdomain.com/google-search, do you get somewhere on your page? Maybe some spammer or robot is creating random links towards these URLs and your site responds with a 200 http code and "strange" content. Try to find if there are any backlinks to the URLs people land on and this way find out if someone is linking to your site with these URLs.
You can always exclude /search and /google-search via robots.txt so they don't get crawled, and meanwhile forward via 301 those visits to the page you find most suitable and avoid people really landing on those pages.
YES! We've seen a significant drop in visits via google images when one of our clients eventually changed their file-upload-backend and files were named automatically like 445390348043534.jpg - we then added a separate module only to assure the naming is correct and useful, and are slowly recovering the lost google images visits.
try to export the data in excel ... there you can sort, copy, paste, create new lists, etc.
We're working on a tool using the seomoz api ... for domains we're always getting the right values, but for longer URLs we're having troubles ...
Example:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog works
Any idea what we might be doing wrong?
Duplicate content issues ... but yes, please provide more information!
We've seen a great potential here with some of our projects' competitors and are also thinking that there's a point to go for this strategy ... as long as you're not promoting one site that then links to your main site, but use your satellite sites to promote the main site, I believe there's a good potential.
I'd suppose getting a considerable amount of links from the respective language for each domain should make sure the respective domain shows up in google when searching in the respective language ... e. g. getting links from French site for the French domain, from Dutch sites for the Dutch domain, etc.
Another way might be to do google
site:yourdomain.com
to check which page of your site has the most authority for a given keyword. If you're running a car site, www.mycarsite.com bmw should return the URL google considers most important for BMW as the first result.
We've got a Spanish-UK-Corporation with ringjohn.com - if you're interested, send me a PM and I can give you a contact there.

As I doubt that the APIs have considerably improved since this blog post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-nasty-problem-with-scraping-results-from-the-engines, google scraping is still a big issue and necessary for our daily seo work.
Scraping savely can only work if you succeed in convincing Google that you're a "natural" user and not a scarping robot. How can you do that?
Consider that, when requesting a URL, the browser sends various information elements to the server, containing, for example, your Operating System, browser version, referer, etc. - every element can and should be changed to virtually change your identity when executing a new search.
Hi, I wouldn't worry too much about them, but you can mark them as nofollow and exclude them via the robots.txt ... as they are on so many pages throughout the web, I'd assume Google & Co do kind of ignore them when putting weight on different links ...
