Ha, for sure! Good domains are like gold dust in some instances and I would pay 5x what they are asking.

Ha, well, I am back.
Been busy, busy, busy, but nothing works for letting off a bit of SEO steam like the Moz Q&A!
Oh, and I really want that Roger T-Shirt!

RE: How much would or have you pay for a domain name?posted in Branding
When I set up my initial site, maybe 10 years ago (shudder) I bought BowlerHatSolutions.co.uk - the solutions means absolutely nothing, nothing, it's just a tired, horrid cliché in the same vein as every design shop using SomethingCreative.com so when we got the chance to go after www.BowlerHat.co.uk we wanted it, we wanted it bad.
So, I set a price in my head, and haggled with the domain owner for nearly a year and eventually, he came around to my way of thinking. It was a good deal more than £200 but was very valuable to me and to my brand - for a UK based SEO and Web Design the Bowler Hat icon is a really strong identity so... Well, I wanted it and eventually got it.
What are your other options?

RE: How long should I keep 301 redirects?posted in Technical SEO
The simple answer is... forever, unless you have some pressing reason to remove them. Certainly, I would keep them there till I knew there was no indexation of these other links and no requests for them for a say, 12 month period.
If you have external links pointing to any of these old pages, then again, that is another argument for keeping them in place.
Just leave them there, comment them as legacy in redirection script and forget about them and focus on something else.
Hope this helps.

RE: How to create a tree-like structure map of a website?posted in Technical SEO
Powermapper is very cool: http://www.powermapper.com/download/mapper/index.htm
It will give you a visual representation of the site and has a free trial so you have a go. I have not used for a site with over 1000 pages but it is certainly good for sites with hundreds of pages.
It allows you to output to HTML, PDF etc so really can help give you an idea of site structure.
Hope it helps.
