Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your reply. Yes, we're using WordPress, but the e-commerce site runs on Netsuite so we can't use php on the homepage.

Thank you for such a quick responce. you answered more then you know with this answer, I also had problems with URLs that I capitalized in the past and did not know how to fix it. Now I know Thank you

Hi, Did you use Bing Webmaster Tools ? If no just sign in, add a site, go to Index --> Submit url's and eventually add your site url's. It really helps it's like pushing Bing to index your site url's. I use it for every page despite Bing is not popular search engine in Poland - where I come from Good luck! Marek PS. BTW I worked for biggest leasing equipment company in Poland for 15 years and still work for leasing industry, now as a consultant. WOW! world is so small

Very helpful, thanks

It's still worth submitting a site to DMOZ. It's a trustworthy site. If you're really concerned about getting trustworthy links but don't have much budget then consider whether you want to edit the subcategory you wish your link to appear in.

I would have the answers on a page that you go to when you press complete, and have that page in my sitemap.xml, or like you said have it display none, but apears when you click complete, haveing text hidden is not a problem as long as it is displayable to  the user somehow, like clicking a button

You are probably looking for a 'speech to text' solution. This has evolved into three ways on the internet: 1. Buy a software that does it for you (e.g. Dragon Nuance) 2. Use the OS's built in recognition features (haven't had a lot of luck with this) 3. Go with an el-cheapo on line transcription service. Dragon Naturally Speaking starts around $200 I think for the office version, but you can usually find deals on Amazon for $40-50 for the home versions. Windows Vista and upward have text recognition, but apparently it's a pain in the butt to get them to work with an audio file (I've read about people setting up their microphone next to their speakers for example). Never done it. Lastly, there are tonnes of online transcription services out there. Not going to suggest any single one because I've never used any, but they're around. Some fierce SEO going on there too actually, I noticed lots of forum spam and other black hat styled tactics.

It's complicated, but Istvan hit the core point. More links per page means each link gets less link-juice. Of course, it also means that more pages get link-juice, so it's a balancing act. I wrote about the "100 link rule" last year: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many There's no one "right" number, and 100 isn't a hard cut-off, it's just a matter of prioritizing. I am worried that your link menus with long article names aren't very user-friendly. I'm guess that people just use the main menus and don't navigate the drop-downs. From an SEO perspective, you might be better driving link-juice to your top 10-20 articles and keeping the main navigation simpler. Again, it's a trade-off, and it really depends on your strategy, domain authority, and the relative value of these pages.

Yea, I just thought it was a bug in the app. I think we'll run some experiments on titles with hyphens for a month or so to see if it truly impacts conversions. Then we'll write about it!!! I think you are right though.

Thanks Guys Have a great weekend, Bush

I have an on-page ranking report of 'A' Great job! Now you are ready to begin the battle of resources.

You'll want to focus on Bing rather than yahoo. Yahoo has its search results provided by Bing. In general bing has a pretty marginal market share. They also have a much smaller index. One that is refreshed far less frequently than Google. What you are seeing is about par for the course at the moment.

I'm also seeing it in position 10. However in a scenario where this would be outranking another domain some things to consider: Facebook is a high authority site. That gives it a nice initial bump. The page appears to be liked some 500ish times. If a portion of the users who like that page have thier profiles set to public, google can see those internal links from thier pages to that page. Facebook does not no-follow internal links. So if a portion of the public pages linking in also have a decent amount of links going to thier page (ie they have a lot of friends on facebook or they've heavily linked to their facebook page from a decent blog or something like that) you get a ton of juice flowing into that page all with exact match anchor. When we do reputation management for some of our clients we actively use some of these exact things to boost pages on social platforms but we learned the tactic from observing this as a natural phenomenon.

Much appreciated! I had actually already submitted a request to DMOZ to have that changed, but obviously it hasn't been done yet. If that's not resolved soon, we'll add the meta tag. Thanks again.
