Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Interesting! This is a nice way to funnel traffic that we have already captured into our .ca domains, as well as build that interlinking between sites. Really want to capture that new Canadian market (For our e com Canada has some different part numbers as well as a different selection of products available to them)  Though i am still considering how to approach this, trying to avoid having much of the duplicate content across international pages.

Hi Lewis, Thank you for the quick response. I have contacted 8/15 domains through whois and majority of them are people who are being hacked by unknown person who I think is doing all of it since the weird fake content is all related. The other people just never get back to me. I have sitemeter.com on there and it shows Google BOTS are scanning their URLS as part of my site though our URL has nothing in common. Won't this ruin my pagerank if they think this content is affiliated with them? There are no advertisements- I see no benefit other than to ruin the credibility of my site. If you can think of anything else please let me know. Thanks again, Alicia

I would like to monitor my competitor's link building. I give your tool 5 competing urls and then the tool accesses some backlink database to tell me (1) the number of newly discovered links for each url that day (like the MajesticSEO backlinks chart when using fresh data), and (2) lists the new links along with the estimated mozRank or something (so I can see if they got any really important new links). The goal would be to (1) keep tabs on competitor link building campaigns, and (2) identify places I should ask for links to maybe get similar links to what they recently got (ala the Competitive Link Research Tool at SEOmoz). Another cool one would be something to tell me which keywords I should focus on among those I've optimized pages for. For example, if I have 100 pages optimized for 100 different keywords, the tool would go fetch the estimated traffic for each keyword from Google. Then it would estimate how much traffic each spot in the first 10 or 20 spots of the SERPs would be worth in terms of clicks (using the studies that show the 1st spot gets x% of the clicks, the 2nd spot gets y% of the clicks, and so on. Then it would lookup my current Google rankings for each keyword. Finally, it would give me a sorted list of ways to improve my organic traffic by comparing my current ranking with a targeted ranking (user-defined, perhaps) and say: If you moved "keyword 5 from its current spot 8 to a target spot 3 you would increase your organic traffic from this word by 200 clicks/day" (or something like that). And then repeat for every keyword. The reason I want this tool is that sometimes I find myself optimizing a long-tail keyword where even if I get the #1 ranking I may only get 5 clicks/month. Even those are possibly very highly targeted, the time spent achieving that #1 ranking might be better spent getting a #3 ranking for a keyphrase that has 1000x more traffic. A tool to help me prioritize time vs estimated reward would be helpful.

Just came from ses ny it was great

Search Gets Social: Leveraging the power of inbound marketing  - I like that I also like 'for decision makers' rather than owners for some of the other suggestions

I find books out of date soon as I read them, the online resources and forums like this are your best bet!

I bet Roger was created by Oatmeal (http://theoatmeal.com/) who used to be part of the SEOmoz team.  I imagine SEOmoz has an in-house designer that uses Adobe Illustrator to create it's icons and such.  Just guessing though.

Thanks for the reply. Well, it's more on the siloing side of things that I'm wondering, it's just I noticed on a Bruce Clay article that he says scuplting and siloing are pretty much the same thing with different names... is that not the case? I understand what to do with siloing (well, I sort of understand it) and I understand why to do it, or at least I understand the reasons given that I've read, but it's cloudy at best. My question really relates to siloing through themes. I can see how it would be beneficial but only if what I've read is correct... and I don't know that it is. In terms of what have I read, I just Googled "Siloing" and read a bunch of articles on the first couple of pages. Also, I'm doing the SEMPO Advanced SEO course (which FYI doesn't seem that advanced so far, it should be called the SEMPO Intermediate SEO course really, I was hoping to learn some stuff and this siloing is the first thing I've come across in it that I didn't already know), anyway... the course recommends siloing if you have any content that is not indexable, or not easily indexable (Javascript, Flash, etc...). I gather there really is no definitive answer as to whether it's something that should be done?
