Let's say I search for AP automation and the search volume comes back as 210, where did that number come from? Is this how many searches by day, by week, year to date, etc.?

Thanks for the responses. I'll try to get a hold of the htaccess file and setup a 301 redirect. Thanks again!

Optimal redirect configuration from a misspelled domain that we own.posted in Web Design
We have a handful of inbound links to www.t-chek.com (note the hyphen). Our normal site is www.tchek.com (no hyphen).
We own both domains and have some sort of domain-wide redirect set up now. This works fine for traffic, but I suspect it's not optimal for SEO purposes. I came to this conclusion by looking in OSE and noticing that none of the inbound links to www.t-chek.com were also being attributed to www.tchek.com.
2 questions:
Is it immediately evident what type of redirect I have in place now, or do I need to figure that out?
Is the fix as simple as editing the .htaccess file on the hyphenated domain?
I don't have direct control over the hyphenated domain, and I'd like to be able to know exactly what we need to do so I can request help from my IT department.
I'd appreciate hearing your wisdom. Thanks!

Is my company's privacy policy diluting our SEO efforts?posted in Web Design
Good morning! I'm new to the SEOmoz community.
This morning, I spot checked a couple pages using the Term Extractor. When looking at the results, I noticed that we're ranking for many of the terms contained in our privacy policy.
Our privacy policy is set up in the footer of our page templates and appears as a light box that pops up over the page you're viewing, so it looks like every page (from a search engines perspective) contains every word of our 900-word privacy policy.
Since several of our legal terms are showing up as "targeted terms" within the tool, would it benefit me to change the privacy policy link from a light box to something else? Perhaps a link to a static page that contains our privacy policy instead?
Are the search engines smart enough to see the repeating text and ignore it from page to page, or am I just diluting all of my SEO efforts here?
I'm after big wins here, and don't want to be too nitpicky, but concerned this could be a big SEO no-no that I might want to correct.
Thanks in advance for your expertise!
