RE: What to do with keyword specific domains
Hmmm.... Both responses were what I was thinking. It may be useful in certain circumstances, not in others. With the size of my site and the competitiveness of the words, I think I'll continue to simply forward them to my main site and not create micro-sites. I don't have enough content to that.
Thanks for the help Marie and Robert!

What to do with keyword specific domains
I have a few domain names with the keywords I'm trying to target for my website. My website currently has been in operations for a couple years, and while not hugely authoritative, has built some value.
Now, are these domain names with keywords any use to me? Is there any point to forward them to my site? Do I try to build up a page (or a few of content) and then have a link to my main site?
Any insight would be mucho appreciated!
Thanks!

RE: Switching Domain Names
Thank you all for the swift and informative responses.
This put this issue to rest, going to stick with the full URL, http://www.smallbusinessdoer.com. I already have the smallbizdoer.com and smallbizdoer.ca URL's 301 forwarding to http://www.smallbusinessdoer.com.

Switching Domain Names
I own two domain names, smallbusinessdoer.com and smallbizdoer.com.
I set up my site at smallbusinessdoer.com. Initially I wanted to keep the full "business" in the domain name as I thought it would be good for SEO.
I'm now thinking it would be a lot better to have a shorter domain and I do own the smallbizdoer.com domain (which is currently forwarding to smallbusinessdoer.com).
If I flip that around, forward smallbusinessdoer.com with a 301 redirect to smallbizdoer.com, what are the implications?
- How long will I lose link juice with the 301 redirects?
- Does shortening business to biz help for URL length or usability?
Thanks for any input!

RE: SEOmoz toolbar log in chrome wonky!
This was fixed by the SEOmoz team by the way. It was caused by a change in my email address.

RE: Do you validate you websites?
It depends on the project. I find that it is sometimes plugins that make my code not validate. If the plugin is so useful and that site renders fine in all the major browsers, I stick with the what I have, even if it doesn't validate.

Backlinks from embeded Wistia video?
If I use Wistia for my videos, and somebody embeds my video on their site, can I get a backlink from this?

Feedproxy Redirects - Do they pass link juice?
I use commentluv and all the links to my site when I leave a comment go through feedburner so that my URL's look like http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmallBusinessDoer/~3/yYrCkjbWq_4/
I used HttpFox in Firefox to see what was happening and it looks like a 301. I wanted to make sure that this is indeed passing link juice.
Thanks!

Absolutely fasincated with small business. Teaching, learning, experimenting, understanding.
Looks like your connection to Moz was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
