Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey guys, Hope everybody is having a good day. Today i came across something i have never seen in the serps before that i would like to share and getting feedback on. When i search for 'woonverzekering' on google.nl #1 is: **Url:          ** www.independer.nl/woonverzekering/intro.aspx
**page titel:  **Woonverzekering - Independer.nl When i search for 'woonhuisverzekering' on google.nl #1 is: **Url:  **         www.independer.nl/woonverzekering/intro.aspx
page titel: Woonhuisverzekering? Vergelijk alle soorten woonverzekeringen - Independer.nl So basically 2 different queries show the same url with 2 different page titles in the serps. The only 'weird' thing i could find was a nobreakspace in the page title code: Woonhuisverzekering? Vergelijk alle soorten woonverzekeringen - Independer.nl I'm i missing something completely obvious here? Is this a commonly used technique.  Is the page title getting chopped up because of   ? What are they doing to get 2 page title results on 1 url?

Hey Guys, Finally got an answer i was looking for about 301's and link juice (pagerank) loss. Matt Cutts posted the following video on Youtube yesterday confirming there is no linkjuice (pagerank) loss from a 301 redirect. Check out Matt Cutts video and discuss the concequences and tactics here 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Filv4pP-1nw watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Filv4pP-1nw

Hope everybody is having a good day:). I was wondering what happens to the external link juice of a page when you redirect it to a new (and improved) url? For instance www.example.com/lowvolumesword/highvolumeword/   301 --> www.example.com/highvolumeword/ Will the /highvolumeword/ page lose a lot of  (external) linkjuice? Is it best to change the external links to the new url manually or leave them as is and let the 301 redirect take care of it? Is it possible to say that no more than x% of your linkjuice will be passed through via a 301? I hope im making sense here and am looking forward to your reaction. Thanks in advance,
Lawrence

Hi everybody, I'm having a 'heated' discussion with a collegae about .org domains. Originally .org domains were created for non-profit organizations and it was fairly difficult to get a .org domain ( like .gov and .edu still are). Nowadays it's easy to register a .org domain and i see plenty of commercial .org emd's ranking well. We are planning on launching a new white label in the Netherlands (.nl) and have several domains in our portfolio that we  can us for this. I recommend using an exact match .org domain (.nl and .com are already taken) for the new white label www.exactkeyword.org. **My collegae says don't use www.exactkeyword.org, because we aren't a non-profit organizaton and we can't garantuee we won't lose our rankings over the next 3 to 4 years. He would recommend going with the available www.exact-keyword.info. ** Who right and who's wrong and why? Can i garantuee no risk with .org for a commercial organization?

Hey Mozzers, Auctions for new top level domains (examples of top level domains are: .com, .net, .info, .org etc) concluded in the summer and will become available from january 1st. Did anybody bid/buy a new tld or know someone who did? And who has plans to register new exact match domains? My hobby is poker and i have a big passion for it so im already thinking about .poker domains.  play.poker, texasholdem.poker etc. Here is an overview with TLD's that will come available:|
http://www.newgtldsite.com/new-gtld-list/ I also like .amsterdam (my home town) as  TLD. What are your thoughts on this? I haven't heard or read much about this in the SEO community so im interested in getting a discussion started.

Any Seo'ers out there still looking at PageRank and or Alexa Rank? Any suggestions on how to look at these stats? I personally believe both are not relevant in todays SEO researches. I'm i very wrong?

I sometimes see sites with PageRank 0 but Page Authority 50+. For instance http://auto.beginthier.nl/: PageAuthority = 53
mozRank = 4,64
mozTrust = 5,69
Root domain links = 42
PageRank = 0 How should i interpret these stats? If or instance i'm optimizing for a car related website (a site about: car parts, car insurrance, classic cars), would these be a good place or a bad place to get links from (ignoring the benefits of direct traffic)? PA = 53 (very good) Vs. PR = 0 (very bad)?

Hi there everybody, It's the end of a long day and i have a few minutes to spare. So what better way than to spend those minutes on the seomoz forum. As you might have already noticed this isn't a serious technical question, but more of a fun google related one. As the title suggests..... Do googlwhacks still exist ? For the people not familiar with a Googlewhack, its a 2 word search query that comes back with a signle hit in the SERPS. Here are some examples of what used to be googlewhacks (which they aren't any more pretty much the moment someone writes about it and Google indexes it and gives up 2 results): bamboozle guzzler unmerciless politician inculcating skullduggery antiestablishmentarianism psycho Who else remembers the good ol' Googlwhack days? P.S. SeoMoz mods, I have no clue in what category to place this topic :). It's just a fun question, thats  all.

For instance www.example1.com/cooltopic/ has 5 ‘verycool articles’ under /cooltopic/ www.example1.com/cooltopic/verycool-article1/ , www.example1.com/cooltopic/verycool-article2/. On www.example2.com/cooltopic/ there are 100 ‘verycool articles’ Who will rank above the other for the term ‘cooltopic’ in the SERPS? Is it www.example1.com with 5 ‘verycool articles’ or www.example2.com with 100 ‘verycool articles’. Or does the quantity of (theme related) articles in subfolders not matter? And what if example1.com has more quality external links from the ‘awesome community’. Would this change a lot in the rankings? Or what if both domains have 0 external links, but example2.com has 95 more internal links (from the articles) to /cooltopic/ than example1.com with only 5 articles.
