Welcome to the Q&A Forum

no problem I've done it before

They had an ad in the superbowl, I've heard from 5 different clients about if they should buy the .co after that.

I understand, from a SEO perspective the backlink probably has a lot of credibility.

It fills some voids that seomoz tools didn't show

I use seomoz's tools and raven tools

BBB makes me think 'old' , not 'trusted' but that is coming from a 2.0 designer.

In the plumbing world, the BBB probably makes a lot of sense.

Google has a completely different robot for searching mobile pages

What do you dislike about your current site?

i'm a new writer for myblogguest.com just trying it for my test site.

yeah I agree with searchpl, dashes in domain names should be one of the last resorts of making a domain name

I heard you get a better effect by not stating a radius.

*edit: 2 downvotes, so I'll add: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/018216.html says no less then 20 miles. I still don't think you should specify a radius, let Google decide.

I also target offsite anchor links for products, seems to be the best method.

lol great response Russ. Attack those blackhats with fire!

Just post on google's forums stating the new date of purchase, you checked and removed all the bad stuff, etc etc.

I agree with forever, who knows in 2 years if people still link on the old pages

How old is your site?

I agree with Baptiste's direction, was looking for a site like built with

looks scammy/spammy...

I was wondering the same thing and tried it in multiple ways. I got similar results SEO wise, I don't think it ultimately matters. What matters is how it looks to your users and a proper sitemap.

Only thing I found was this, making sure you saw it: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/linkfromdomain-a-linkbuilding-tip-for-use-at-bingcom

I believe you can confirm the block via the webmaster tools also.

thats what I do, keep a mix, try to get 80%+ close to the niche.

Agreed, This is like Yahoo answers, old Google answers, or Amazon's askville.

How much are you looking to spend? High Quality = High Costs.

I agree, talk with bloggers in your niche, post your article to them in email if you can trust them enough. Public facing submission sites are too spammy.

although backlinks can, its more onpage stuff that Google hates. Otherwise everyone would be attacking their competitors

agreed, ref=canonical

I'm not seeing those either, some kinda firefox plugin? or are you logged in your account? do you own those domains?

I don't see anything wrong with just a 301..?

You shouldn't base anything off of impressions... What do you really want your customers doing?

I don't use meta keywords at all, everything seems fine. I don't want my competitors to see them too.

I don't think you'll get any penalty, but keep it below 10% of the overall picture.

I'd try to funnel them into twitter followers... can market to them in multiple ways

Wouldn't it depend on what kind of badge and where it links to?

Any negatives to using 301 on something like this?

Interesting, never knew this. When did they change the name?

I agree with Nick, using robots.txt, meta, and obscure page url

I'd also add if I may to keep the backlinks within your niche for getting started.

Will the reviews be coming from multiple sites? If so, I'd think a mix of the content from various sites will be fine. Google loves testimonials.

If not, I'm not qualified enough to respond with an answer for you

First here is an error list: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=40132

Response code 403 is for requests, where authentication makes no difference, disabled directory browsing.
401 Unauthorized would be the response to send.

I'd suggest using robot.txt to stop going to these pages? Or even better, if you can allow Google's spiders access (I'm not 100% sure how this is done)

No worries asking mike, advertising and conversion rates ARE categories!!

I never tried them, but brand new ad writer there. they offer a money back guarantee. What do you have to lose?

I think backlinks is the biggest issue here....

I think examples like the BBC are bad to look at their layout strategy. They are too credible for Google to punish for placement.  You and me on the other hand, aren't credible enough to play those games.

My friend from the UK thinks it did indeed get rolled out, I personally can't say to if it really did, they could be testing the waters.... how fast it'll get to other countries? I don't think anyone knows. It would make sense tho if they are experimenting

Are you using blackhat tactics?

This is discussed quite well in a the new york times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/26/technology/internet/26google.html?_r=2&src=un&feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Fjson8.nytimes.com%2Fpages%2Fbusiness%2Fmedia%2Findex.jsonp

I'm assuming your saying another website is taking your article content? Are they giving you credit? Timestamps are your friend, I'm going to assume Google will know you are the originator.  Create some backlinks pointed to your content.

tip for future content: include things they can't include, like your name, your customers, etc etc
