Welcome to the Q&A Forum

JH is right - Google should already recognize the original source. You could include a rel=canonical tag pointing to the original source to be safe - probably unnecessary though.

Host your videos on a third party host (Wistia, Vimeo Pro) and embed on your site with a crawlable player - most prefer html5 player to get your videos on the SERPs and refer back to your site.

Do not publish videos on Youtube or Vimeo if you want the video to go back to your site - it will be self-cannibalization. Also once the videos are on your site, create a video XML sitemap and submit through GWT.

As far as having a link in the embed code of your videos, I believe Wistia's Embed Builder will help you create an iframe that can do just that.

Here are some helpful posts:

It is best practice to diversify your anchor text even if the links are from quality sites. Not only to avoid being hit by penguin but to help rank your site for a variety of search terms.

A majority of your anchor text should be branded.

Also, having an exact match keyword domain can be risky, although I still do see exact match keyword domains still ranking well. If you do have exact match domain, I would continue creating quality content on site and obtaining good linkbacks to avoid any future algorithm changes.

I've worked with Drupal and Wordpress and have had great results in regards to SEO capabilities. However, Drupal is considered one of the best for the following reasons:

Good Luck!

Here is a post on the Seo Moz Blog a couple of weeks ago. Provides good information to understand how shortened links work with ranking. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/url-shortener-owl-li-indexed-in-google

When a user likes a website, it is really considered as sharing the website on the facebook feed.

Liking a facebook page is basically becoming a friend/fan of the company's page - where you can interact with them and see their posts.

I think having your website liked/shared would contribute more to SEO but having more likes on your fan page will you allow more users to see your content and interact with your brand.

I would focus on creating quality content and clever ways to attract "fans" then as a result the likes/shares to your website will come naturally.

OSE will show both the www and non-www version of pages. These URLs may go to the same page but the bot considers these two different pages.

<dt>Change the last option in the filter options to "Group By Domain".</dt>

<dt>It should look like this: Show "all" links  from "all" pages to "this page" and "group by domain" </dt>

I have used the wordpress multisite for several domains. Each domain is managed under one wordpress install but each of the sites have unique content.

All of the domains are indexed as separate and rank well for their search terms. You shouldn't have a problem with google omitting your domains if you provide unique content on each site.

Some of the exact-match domains that we own have been devalued by google. However, there are a few that have increased in ranking for exact match keyword searches (much less competitive keywords). There still is hope!

I would include the keywords in the h1 and content. Also, create a blog on the site that includes the keyword you are trying to rank for. The power of an exact-match domain alone won't make your site rank well. Include some good content on the site with the keywords included.

Are you sure they are dofollow links? OSE will show all links (dofollow and nofollow) but the links you are seeing are probably marker with a purple nofollow in parenthesis - meaning they are not passing link juice.

If these were in the warning section, then these are temporary redirects, correct? Can you provide a screen shot?

Is your client open to changing to a new CMS? I haven't used expressionengine but it sounds like some of the features you would expect to be simple are not.

In the past, I have offered a variety of benefits to the sites I am contacting. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:

• Relevant and original blogs or articles

• sharing their site or advertisement on social media profile

• writing a testimonial for businesses or individuals that I have worked with

• "how-to" articles

• Infographics or visual guides

• Bringing typos or broken links to webmaster's attention

• A reciprocal link

I do like how the social media pops out the side but you have to question are users going skip over it. Would it be more effective if they didn't have to hover over the icon to see what's going on on your news feed and which of their friends already like your page - by just simply glancing to the sidebar.

But then again building fans to your fan page isn't your end goal. Building fans is merely a technique used to accomplish your end goal of making sales or conversions. So I can see how compromising page real estate can be a factor.

However you can consider writing a custom message that adds value to your facebook fanpage. A compelling message above or near the facebook plugin convincing a user to become a fan may be appropriate. Or if you have a contest running then informing your web visitors would work well.

I think the custom social media bars you have under each blog post is set up nicely to receive webpage likes. Establishing a referral program  can help get your webpage liked/shared.

Your h4s and alt tags could be more keyword rich but the main content looks natural and include relevant keywords.

However, I would consider placing a prominent call-to-action above the fold somewhere.

These are just suggestions as there are multiple ways you could do this. Hope this helps.

SeoMoz members have no control over what Mozbot crawls. Your best bet is to use a variety of site explorers to find links. Ex. Majestic, Google Webmaster tools, Link:www.example.com, Bing Link Explorer

Hey Alex,

Did you end up using Sponsored Tweets? How were the results?

To report broken links, you will usually want to report this to a webmaster. So if you are unable to find their email address you can always try standard email address formats.

For example, if you find a broken link on brokelink.com, try emailing to webmaster@brokelink.com or postmaster@brokelink.com. You can even try to contact someone for general inquires so they can forward your email to the right person or give you the correct email address. To do this (using the example above), I would try info@brokelink.com or admin@brokelink.com

If you are able to spot a name on the website but can't find their corresponding email address, you can use a combination of Rapportive and this custom google doc - bit.ly/name2email -  to help you discover the correct email address. Here is the blog post on Distilled where this idea was derived - http://www.distilled.net/blog/miscellaneous/find-almost-anybodys-email-address/

I had contemplated this a couple of years ago. We had an old site and just created a new one. The old site was performing well in the search results for popular keywords. We didn't want to risk losing any ranking doing a 301 redirect and we wanted to attempt having multiple listings on search results - so, we kept both!

We stopped updating the old site and let it coast then started working on SEO for the new site and eventually had two well performing sites on the SERPs.

And with google merging organic and place pages, you could use the new site as the URL for a place page if the company you are working with is a local business. So you'll have a organic listing and place listing.

I thought I would share my experience with you to consider what is possible with keeping both sites.  However, there is nothing wrong with 301 redirecting to the new site.

Yes, technically this is buying links but I don't think it will harm your website. But on the same token I don't think links from these sites help either.

These sites may have a high domain rank but your link is placed on a new page that usually will have a low page rank.

Instead, I would try to submit your infographic to informational or educational sites if applicable. Also, consider sharing with websites that are relevant to your industry.

And I would set up some Google & Twitter Alerts to find people talking about topics related to your infographic. Start to build rapport with these people and mention your infographic to them for possible link opp.

Do you know the exact date you traffic went down. You could have been hit by Panda. There were two Panda updates before and after Penguin in April.

Try this analysis to get a better understanding if you were hit by Penguin or Panda:

A clickable phone number is great for mobile landing pages. Try wrapping the number in a highlighted box and place at both the top and bottom of the page.

Create custom landing pages that are relevant to your ad copy and set a budget. Make sure to do plenty of keyword research and utilize positive and negative keywords on each campaign so your ad is not showing up for irrelevant searches.

I agree with Kevin on measuring everything and using a unique phone number to track your leads.

I think Rankerizer - http://www.rankerizer.com/ - does a pretty good job of tracking your ranking for multiple keywords. And you can easily export results into a CSV file.
