Welcome to the Q&A Forum

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.

try to export the data in excel ... there you can sort, copy, paste, create new lists, etc.

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?

• Search with alternating IPs, from different locations using proxies from the countries where you'd like to scrape from
• don't send too many requests at once from the same source

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.

• change browsers, browser versions, operating system information, etc.
• take care when changing browser localization values (en-GB, en-US probably don't return the same results)
• have a good network of proxy servers ready to send the different requests with your different identities to

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 ...

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.
