Is our clients mobile site indexed for mobile search?
Did you set up another account in webmaster tools for your mobile website? I.E. http://m.yourwebsite.com If not I would create another website in webmaster for it. Also how long has it been since you submitted the new sitemap for the mobile site? this does take some time for Google to show how many url's are indexed.

GWTs Crawl Errors Report listing Analytics Virtual Page Views as 404s
Yes, they did return, but similar to your thoughts, I'm quite happy to ignore them. Also from Google, the last sentence is quite topical: "Generally, 404 errors don’t impact your site’s ranking in Google, and you can safely ignore them. Typically, they are caused by typos, misconfigurations (for example, for links that are automatically generated by a content management system) or by Google’s increased efforts to recognize and crawl links in embedded content such as JavaScript."

Whats the best way to boost alexa rank?
Alexa is faaaar from accurate as it only uses for sampling browsers with alexa toolbar installed. If for some unknown reason you want to increase it I suggest looking into Amazon Turk services.

Can anyone help me with a problem Im having with my Google Places Page?
Hi Casey, Google is definitely pulling the information from somewhere. Have you done a google.com search and maps.google.com search for your old address and old phone number to see if you can pull up any old duplicates or any 3rd party citations that are still listing your old information? I agree with fidelity on this - I would start a thread at the Google And Your Business Forum to report this ASAP, but I would do so prior to deleting anything in the record. Good luck! Miriam

Fast Off Site SEO Work?
Well, they are dealership sites and the content is vehicle inventory. So not real unique great content there. Building links fast would be anything faster than doing it by hand!

WebPage cached but Google webmaster tool shows not indexed.
**One more thing to know that, sitemap2.xml have all redirected page url(All those urls are redirected to new pages). ** An XML sitemap (or any sitemap you submit to a search engine) is supposed to contain a list of the final URLs you wish to be indexed. You should not include any pages blocked by robots.txt, 404 pages, redirected pages, etc. If I am understanding your question, you submitted 17k pages which are redirected to other URLs. In that case, none of those 17k pages would get indexed and search engines will start to learn to ignore your sitemaps as they are not helpful.

What is a good daily & weekly routine for PPC management?
Daily tasks: 1) Looking for things that are broken. 2) Making sure changes made the day before are functioning as expected. Most other tasks are weekly tasks. This is because it takes a certain amount of data to make decisions. negative keyword review from broad match searches split test ad review new exact match keywords from broad match clicks. Other days can be used to create new add groups. This can be based on new products/services and splitting ad groups up that have become larger than needed. This list is just the basics.

Do Live Web Video (eg: WebOuts.com) Help CRO?
I think that since this is so new (first time I've seen it used) that you are approaching it wrong. The chance of finding those case studies is slim. The sure fire way would be to implement it and test. What I'd be looking for: 1. Compatibility with my target audience (i.e. can they see it) 2. Usability implications of the video (e.g. the bounding box of the video on the webouts.com home page completely blocks all the links on the left side of the page... bet they are losing sales over this). 3. Will it annoy the audience? It autoplays, so probably will annoy unless it is done right. 4. And finally, your conversions. Can this be done right? Oh ya, just look at the Camera Corner Connecting Point: Expo Thank You Message Landing Page here(scroll down... can't link directly): http://webouts.com/FeaturedClient.php?apid=

Help with Google Plus, please. (Rand looks like his got this under control)
ActivitySuper- Here are some answers and clarifications: 1.) Personal and business pages both can generate significant results. Depends on where you want the traffic to go and what effort you put into it. Here is something specific from Rand regarding his recommendations: (URL link is http://www.seomoz.org/blog/21-tactics-to-increase-blog-traffic-2012) RANDS comments: Leveraging these networks to attract traffic requires patience, study, attention to changes by the social sites and consideration in what content to share and how to do it. My advice is to use the following process: If you haven't already, register a personal account and a brand account at each of the following -Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn (those links will take you directly to the registration pages for brand pages). For example, my friend Dharmesh has a personal account for Twitterand a brand account for OnStartups (one of his blog projects). He also maintains brand pages onFacebook, LinkedIn and Google+. Fill out each of those profiles to the fullest possible extent - use photos, write compelling descriptions and make each one as useful and credible as possible. Research shows that profiles with more information have a significant correlation with more successful accounts (and there's a lot of common sense here, too, given that spammy profiles frequently feature little to no profile work). Connect with users on those sites with whom you already share a personal or professional relationships, and start following industry luminaries, influencers and connectors. Services likeFollowerWonk and FindPeopleonPlus can be incredible for this: 2.) There is nothing stopping from someone from dumping links and content onto a business or personal page. that is the true power of social networking. If you have something important to say and you think it warrants attention, then do it. Make sure you provide them a link back to your personal or business page.... 3.) If you are getting comments on your posts it doesn't automatically notify everyone in their circle. But remember, if they are getting to your post than they are interested in something you are saying. Make sure you provide them an opportunity to link to additional content or your own pages. You will see on the right hand side of google plus a people and pages link that they can add.....once they add you then you will have access to their "circles". Hope this helps. Mark

Google Product Search
Oh I see what you are asking, I'm sorry. Yeah he should beable to provide that for you, if you have access to the websites plugins.. look for "gold cart plugin" it mentions it has Google Base integration. That plugin may provide it for you. Took a look at your page source and figure that plugin handles your products! Hope that helps!

SEO software is best now?
I agree with Klarke on this.. Those programs are not worth it! If you really want to pay for some part of your SEO process, I would invest in content creation.

Live sales chat software recommendations?
I'd add a thumbs up for Zopim too. Been looking for a live chat system and although I found Click Desk to be really clean and simple and with a help desk too. However in the end I preferred the fact that Zopim has an "operator is typing" notification which I personally think is important so that you know there is actually some life at the other end of the chat! Would also concur that their customer support is spot on too.
