Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm guessing it's a report from GoDaddy related to the Search Engine Visibility package? See a few more details at http://www.godaddy.com/search-engine/seo-services.aspx and that might explain it.

The second option is surely the best one. Not just because your visitors will thank you (I mean, they find you for B and you are redirecting them to A obliging them to start an internal search), but also is what Google itself suggest here: https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=83105&hl=en

Alex is right... cannibalization is one the worst thing a site can commit. Personally, the KWs I focus on in the homepage are (or is) the query that most define the subject of the site itself. In your case, designer glasses is surely a good choice, as you are not focusing on any brand in particular. Eventually, but I am sure you know it, I would use a semantically related second query in the title to reinforce the main KW.

We have already done that in  Webmaster tools but there is no change in the indexing rate. We would like to know if the hosting change from US to India is affecting us and if yes is there a way to fix it.

I can't make a judgement on it, but you might check out Graywolf's recent post this month on masking affiliate links. http://www.wolf-howl.com/affiliate-marketing/how-to-mask-affiliate-links/

If I owned your site I would rewrite the text from scratch.  The more different you make it from the original the more traffic you will receive.  Also the more substance and length that you can include the more long tail traffic will be received. Syndicating your content creates competitors and now that you are not ranking the damage is obvious.  So you can spin the articles and stay in the doghouse or redo them properly and have a chance at recovery. I would be creating content that puts the syndicated copy to shame - higher quality, more substantive, broader coverage.

Great advice Ryan. I'll make sure to keep an eye on that redirecting and keep it from going into a never ending loop. I can see how that could easily happen. I'll look into a developer, sounds like the safest bet.

Latent Semantic Indexing http://www.seobook.com/archives/000657.shtml I think they definitely do that for spamming reasons, otherwise you could make a million pages with latin text and only put your keyword repeated in the content and get it ranked. A real article speaking about a topic would generally have similar related words also included in the article.

Well it looks like you are hosting them yourself so that's good, have you created and submitted a video sitemap XML to Google yet?

The purpose behind 'the schema' is to help search engines better match semantic search terms with relevant user information. Word out there is that is doesn't help in the SERPs.  See this article.  But it might and Google may have integrated it into their algo yesterday for all we know. With it being relatively new in the search landscape and little evidence of testing out there, I'd recommend that you donate some time to the cause   It just so happens that you'll likely get your answer from doing so.  Here's how I'd do it: 1. Choose the pages you'll be measuring...  the more you use, the better the data... 2. Measure where these pages rank in your search results before making any changes. 3.. Divide those pages into thirds and apply the 'Events' schema to a third, the 'Aggregate Rating' to a third, and apply nothing to the remaining third. 4. Track and report your findings. Obviously, there are some potential hang-ups here (ie. if you aren't ranking in the top 50 for your target keywords and are using SEOMoz to track).  After rubbing my magic 8-ball, I'm going to prophesize that you won't see a significant difference for a few reasons (or any at all). Finally, I'd suggest that you persuade the engines to focus on the aggregate review information.  If you look around, you'll notice that reviews are being increasingly integrated as major indicators in search algos.  Events?  Not so much. There are many issues at hand, but you get to decide which are important and which you're going to act on.  Either way, good luck!

Martijn is 100% correct so please listen to him. Thumbs up.

You could possibly have the +1 button point back to a page you want indexed like the homepage. So if someone clicks it, you still get the benefit but to a page you want in the index.

Thanks for the nice words  Ryan and I am above now

With limited specific info at this point I would say no. Again Google ranks web pages not web sites. So just because the home page ranks really well in their actual HQ city doesnt mean that a page for a city a few miles down the road wolnt rank well too. And it wouldnt hurt either. It makes comon sense that a Company providing a specific service a town over could also serve this town. Just build links to the right city pages and you should be good.

We did a non E commerce site in late July/early August. Client had home page PA of 42 and DA of 38. This was to an entirely new domain. It took about 3 - 4 weeks and he is at same as before. (Not always the case, but this was 99.9%) I would make sure that in the changeover, if someone new is handling new domain they have correctly handled the canonical redirect. Especially if there is any issue around web site and compensation, etc.

If it's a Page 1, Page 2, Page 3 type thing, you might want to take a look at the new Google pagination options (rel="next" and rel="prev"): http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

Thats a good question! I can't honestly say but if that is showing correctly then you don't need to worry about it effecting the rankings or your CTR.

This might be worth watching. If my memory serves me correctly there was talk about that in here http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/getting-value-from-xml-sitemaps
