Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You are welcomed !

Hi There, its worth having a look at this not quite whiteboard friday from Rand which covers your question in more detail at the end of the Video but also in the comments section with a useful link to working with Yandex http://www.seomoz.org/blog/smx-advanced-andy-atkins-kruger-talks-international-seo-and-yandex-whiteboard-friday Hope this helps David Harland

Google's JohnMu confirmed that they ignore links from UpDowner. Barry Schwartz writes about it on Search Engine Roundtable at http://www.seroundtable.com/google-updowner-ignored-15369.html

Thanks, great tool!

I personally wouldn't bother with Scrapebox - apart from the fact that it's synonymous with black-hat practices, you're far better served using tools like OSE and Majestic SEO. If you haven't tried Majestic I'd definitely recommend it, works really well in conjunction with OSE and GWT. Hope that helps!

Hi Irving, Thanks for you reply. I am using data-vocabulary.org rather than schema.org Ok, so what you mention is on page, what about off page? Thanks

No problem  Happy to be of assistance.

I believe the 'Did you mean' results are triggered by common misspellings, I don't think it would be feasible to manipulate it to correct the spelling of a small business name.

Choose the short and being remembered name, one keyword to you won't give particular advantages. Over time I observe that neither anchors in links, not keywords in url already practically don't play a special role.

Well, it's like any other International targeting. If it was a site targeted to India only, I would have suggested .in domain for sure and hosting in India maybe. In this, I would just concentrate on Google and English. You should be good.

If your brand is been mentioned alot on line it can be good for the following: It can have a positive impact on Auto Suggest if people search for it a lot (Brand+ Term) You can research out to websites who mention your brand and ask them to link back to you with the article, I would track brand mentions with Google alerts. But overall if you have heaps of people just typing your brand term on a bunch of websites it is not going to help your overall link building efforts, you need to do the hard work to reach out to sites to acquire the links. Its all relation ship building.

http://www.video-sitemap.org did not work , will try someother ones.

You are very welcome. Please, come again.

that was it! thanks

Thanks for the quick response! I figured that's what I would have to do and I do think it's the best practice as well. Just thought there might be have been another way. Cheers!
