Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Suddenly, I find myself unable to access the Rankings Report. Anyone?

Noob here so be gentle... We have a blog on our homepage that we're using for content/SEO purposes.  Does this content rank as highly as it would if it were a simple HTML page as opposed to a blogspot or wordpress from our page?  In other words, are we getting as much content cred in this way as we would if blogspot wasn't affiliated? http://greatmats.blogspot.com/

So...we have an A+ rating with the BBB and have for some time.  We have a link from their page.  We also use sites like pricegrabber and reseller rankings and have links from those. What I can't figure out is why links from the BBB and Pricegrabber don't even show up in open site explorer but the reseller ratings links are everywhere.  The BBB one is easily the oldest and the other two are roughly the same age (i.e. at least a couple years old.)

Curious as to how you separate a "good" link from a "bad" one.  I go through Open Site Explorer and see a variety of sites linking to our page.  Some have good Domain/Page Authority and others do not.  When looking for links, where do you determine whether a link from a specific page will help/hurt you in terms of their DA/PA?  Translated another way:  How much DA/PA does a site/page need to have before you decide it will pass good link juice to yours via a link?

I can't understand why our Pinterest boards don't show up as external links (nor do our YouTube videos).  However, one of our competitor's Pinterest boards is in the top ten as far as their external links go. Clues?

Received a random email asking if we wanted to trade links.  The way they word things leads me to wonder if they're a  link farm from overseas.  Any feedback?

I've been told that pipes are the best separators for title tags.  Can anyone tell me the best ones for H1 and H2 tags?  Do I go with pipes, commas, hyphens, underscores...?
