I mean I'm not saying that it's not possible, but above the fold is relevant to the user because it's actually something they see. The section is completely invisible to a user, hence shouldn't be relevant.

RE: Does Title Tag location in a page's source code matter?posted in Technical SEO
I honestly don't think that the <title>tag location is your issue.</p> <p>One issue that I'm seeing is that your page load time is pretty abysmal. According to tools.pingdom.com your page load time is around 8 seconds. This probably has to do with the massive amount of code that your site is using. That is at least one thing you may look into improving.</p></title>

RE: Does Title Tag location in a page's source code matter?posted in Technical SEO
I'm not sure that I agree with this. If this were about the
or any element that is actually visibile on the page then I'd be inclined to agree but there is really no reason that you should need to put the <title>tag higher up as long as it is within the <head> section. It really shouldn't affect anything in my opinion.</p></title>

RE: How do I correct my axiom.com directory listing?posted in Moz Local

That's the link to register to edit your axciom business listing. You will likely have to create an account and then do a phone verification. If I recall correctly the phone verification generally requires you to call them from the phone number on the listing.

RE: How do you 301 redirect URLs with a hashbang (#!) format? We just lost a ton of pagerank because we thought javascript redirect was the only way! But other sites have been able to do this – examples and details insideposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
I would like to point out that twitter is using javascript redirects not serverside redirects. If you disable javascript and try that url it will load the homepage/ your twitter feed and the url will stay the same.
The second url doesn't seem to be properly redirecting as at least for me it just 301 redirects back to itself.

That's not true. Google is able to crawl and index properly setup ajax based pages like the one in question. Bing on the otherhand is not able to do so or at least not last time I checked.

RE: Using multiple domains in one Adwords accountposted in Paid Search Marketing
As far as I know, which is confirmed by this blog from Lunametrics is that you can't run ads to two different domains from the same account. You'll have to create a separate for each domain. If they are a subdomains of a main domain then that is fine but if the websites are completely separate then you'll need multiple accounts.

If you go to site settings in webmaster tools you can set your geographic target to United Kingdom which may help.

RE: Having Yelp Reviews Removedposted in Reviews and Ratings
Everyone says this, but having advertised with yelp for over $1000 a month for the past six months I completely disagree. We tried to get them to take down negative reviews with legitimate reasons as to why they should be removed and they were completely unhelpful. They also filtered a lot of legitimate good reviews. They're just frustrating in general in my opinion.

RE: Is it bad to include google Maps in footer?posted in On-Page Optimization
I don't see any issue with this at all. This sounds like it's beneficial to the user and not spammy, so I don't see it causing any problems.

RE: SEO value of InDesign pages?posted in Technical SEO
Assuming that you plan on posting them on your site as pdf files then they are spiderable to some extent. Google does spider and index some pdf's. I wouldn't advise this as a plan because pdf's do not generally rank well in most areas. The only category I can think of offhand where they do are irs forms.
They would be much more likely to be thoroughly crawled, indexed and ranked if they are posted as actual webpages in html.

RE: Google Ad referralposted in Reporting & Analytics
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nextag.com%2Fhp-p2015-laserjet%2Fproducts-html%3Fnxtg%3D116d0a1c0504-
I knew that the % meant it was encoding another character. I didn't know exactly which characters those stood for off the top of my head, so i just made educated guesses and got http://www.nextag.com/hp-p2015-laserjet/products-html
Generally html is the end of the url so I assumed the %3Fnxtg%3D116d0a1c0504- was a url parameter, which after looking at the table of url encoded characters, %3F is a "?" which is the beginning of a url parameter.

RE: Google Ad referralposted in Reporting & Analytics
It looks like you are although possibly unintentionally. It looks like you're doing display advertising and are showing up here because it's a relevant page. It actually looks like a product listing ad.
Here's a link to the page I found your ad on.

RE: Automatically Check List of Sites For Links To Specific Domainposted in Moz Pro
You can use screaming frog for this but you need to have the paid version which is £99 per year. It can also do tons of other things and I highly recommend it.
This article explains how to use this to see if links have been removed which will also tell you if they still exist.

RE: Is there a tool to see all redirects?posted in Technical SEO
The best tool that I know of that would do that would be the redirects tab under links in Ahrefs. If that's not showing you what you want, then I'm not confident that you will find another tool that will.
A chrome extension that could be somewhat helpful to follow redirect paths and see what types of redirects are being used is: Redirect Path
P.S. Thanks for asking this question because it helped me to realize that my site's .htaccess file somehow got deleted recently and my 301 redirects weren't working.

RE: Competitor outranking me on google with their yelp, facebook and youtube pagesposted in Local Listings
This is a strategy called "Barnacle SEO." Essentially you optimize and build links to high end business profiles like yelp because they are more likely to rank due to their high domain authority.
Here's the most recent post I could find on it: http://searchengineland.com/barnacle-seo-making-big-comeback-local-187253
The competitor you're talking about has a higher domain authority which already gives him a decent head start, but it's good that you're still outranking his website. What I see that's definitely helping him is that he optimized his listings for the city you're trying to rank in. He has more reviews than you and he has tons more facebook likes. He also has his Yelp linked to from his facebook and he links back to his yelp profile from his website.
Also, to answer your last question, part of the reason these are ranking is definitely because their is fairly low competition in the space.
