Hi Pedro,
Please go through Google link scheme guidelines:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356
In above guidelines they have clearly mention that "Links from low quality directory sites is unnatural".
So its better to stay away from reciprocal directory sites.
Hope this help you out....
Google uses many signals to show title in SERP like social signals, title used in directories, backlink profile of that page etc.
I think this is only an authoritative resource for this topic: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624
Hi
Are you sure your old title is showing in SERP or its showing different title ?
Ans :
"Google's generation of page titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web. The goal of the snippet and title is to best represent and describe each result and explain how it relates to the user's query."
Above given statement are from Google Webmaster Help.. Please read for more info : http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624
Yeah Dorm i agree with you and your boss.. Yes you can move ahead with 3 - 4 lines(helpful for users) of unique content so that they can click on "more" for more valuable info..
Google will see the whole content because its opening in the same page(Ajax) & if you see the source code then you will find the whole content in the html code.. Google reads the html file so google can read it. For google its perfect so if you are using the content for google then its fine but if you are using the content for end users then i dont think so its good because 1st 2 lines are not so attractive but if you give helpful info in 1st para with 4 - 5 lines and then you give "more" option then i think its good as per end user's view...
Hi Dorm
I agree with Jungles & askshopper. As you know Content is the King in SEO..
If the Unique Content (incl KW's with bold/strong tag) is above the product then google will 1st see that part and then your products. Products are most likely a duplicate content (Product Title, Product Desc, etc). Google loves unique content so if Google see unique content 1st which are helpful to users then google loves it..
If i am not wrong google see the page in this way : Title, Description, H1, H2 and then starts with the 1st paragraph(very imp) of the page. If you target the keyword in 1st para of the page then it will really helps. Also, if the content is below product then google will see that lastly which might not get more priority in google's eye logically. Normally google works as an user, if we are an end user then 1st we start with the 1st para and if we like 1st para then we continuously go ahead otherwise we stop there. Same with google, if 1st para is unique & very helpful to end user then google loves it....
Please let me know your views.
Hi Danny
As per my experience there is no disadvantages of using 1 or 2 hyphen in Keyword Rich Domain Name.

Article submission is not giving much link juice but yes its not a bad way. Its indeed a good way but make sure you submit unique article to each site.. If you submit one article to more than one website then it will harm your website, also dont spun the article... Also use best sites only.
Below are some good article submission list :
1 http://www.newsvine.com
2 http://ezinearticles.com
3 http://www.articlesbase.com
4 http://www.articlealley.com
5 http://www.articlesnatch.com
6 http://www.articletrader.com
7 http://ideamarketers.com
8 http://www.articlebiz.com
9 http://www.basearticles.com
10 http://www.articlerich.com
Yes... Google considers this as a spamming.

Hi Edward
I think this will help you : https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/devguide
I think link wheel can work if your content is awesome and inter linking method is natural, and intention of linking is to provide more information to visitors. For Example, You will find many relevant linking between seo blogs like Distilled Blog > seomoz blog > Search Engine Land Blog. They always links to awesome content if related to their blog post.
But if you link same 5 articles by posting them in article sites or web 2.0 sites. And linking with keywords then it will not work. Because its not natural.
Page title is good if its upto 66 characters.. Some says 60 or 70 Characters but google displays upto 66 Characters in SERP..
As per my knowledge its good if you trim your title within 66 Characters.. Yes its helpful if you use Page Type & Brand Name in Title. Dont go above 66Characters because google only show 66 Charachters for title in SERP's & if its more than 66 then Google dont see that. As you know Keyword | Brand Name is good practice but Sometimes the message is more important than the keyword & brand.
If you want to use big title as Blogs usually have big title then your 2nd example is good "This is the page title of the long title and I need to add more content | Brand"
Hope this answered your question.

Hi
DA are always on the domain's or website's profile thats why you find DA is high on news website. The other things like PA are given on the Page's profile so new page dont have PA on the spot, it takes time. Also the whole mozbar updates on monthly basis. Here is the schedule of Linkscape Update Schedule so if the page or post is new then PA will update when the mozbar updates.
I hope i answered your question. If need any help please let me know.
Hi Thomas
This is really a nice question. I found a nice post on Is Google’s Synonym Matching Increasing?.
Also there is a good post on More info about synonyms at Google by Matt Cutts on Jan 2010.
Hi Dorm
Footer links or the interlinking are only for the end user navigation helps so if user likes it or use it then google will also likes it. Your homepage are very much interlinked with lots of keywords under the section "Popular Motorcycle, ATV, Dirt Bike, UTV Parts and Accessories" which are not good according to my experience. Brand section on the homepage are OK. Its good if you only give a link on brand name itself instead of keywords for JakeWilson.com. Also there is no need of putting "Take a look at our most popular areas" section in footer.
Also i would suggest you to put Title tag with 10 - 60 characters, no special characters.
If you need more help for any suggestions then you can PM me or ask here.
Hi Mikkel, I have checked your robots.txt, it looks perfect. If you redirect /index.php to home page that using httaccess file or by using any joomla plugin that would great for you. And its also a permanent solution.
Hi Mikkel,
Do you inbound link pointing to you index.php pages ? If yes, then it might affect your seo. Disallow: /index.ph/ is perfect but after implementing it don't inter link those index.php pages. Can you share me your website URL so that I can show you with example. How to do it.
Dorm are the discussion on footer links are for this website : http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com
Sure Dorm i will look in to it..
No i don't think so because still personally i don't experience it.
Hi Dorm
Please read this post it will answer your question : AJAX crawling: Guide for webmasters and developers.
Let me know if you need any help.
I am totally agree with Alan.. In addition of Alan i would like to share my thoughts on "Low-quality directory or bookmark site links". Before the google updates the directory works so most of SEO Companies built lots of categorywise & General Directory & Bookmarking sites so now in market there are lots of directory sites which are not good, in some cases it hurts also. Here is a good post on Analysis of 2,678 Directories Shows 20% Penalized/Banned by Google. Also most of directory site gives nofollow links & also directory dont gives much value in SEO. But yes we can do directory submission on such sites who have good PR & DA like yahoo directory, dmoz, etc. Same with Social Bookmarking.
Here is a good list of Directory & Bookmarking Sites : http://www.seomoz.org/directories. I hope this list would help you.
Hope i answered your question and if you need more help then let me know.
