Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I understand that it really makes minimal difference whether im on page 15 or 25 of google search, and that either one is virtually traffic-less - however, if i was able to track my position (over 100+), i would at least be able to see if my rank/position was improving or not. Because thats a pretty important thing to know.. Does anybody else know of any tools that let you search your website position on search engines that give you results over 100+ ? It would be a very valuable thing for me to know.. Because ive been trying incredibly hard to increase my position. Also, thank you for your pointers about my website. I will try to change the pages a little bit, although they are pretty straight-forward for the most part except for the difference between bulb numbers for my product. They all "look" the same technically, so its hard to make each page individually different. But ill try. Other than that, what else can i try that will increase my traffic? Ive been considering using Attracta's TurboTraffic.. They submit to the top 100 search engines and re-submit your sitemap on a regular basis, as well as create blogs dedicated to your site and create valuable backlinks, etc.. It all sounds really good, but not sure if its worth it or not. What "seo improvement websites" would you guys recommend? Sorry for all the questions, i tried to separate them by paragraph. Please try to answer all of them if you can!

Hi RTG, My understanding is the Moz Toolbar is designed to parse (count) all links within the HTML code. Depending on how the source code is written, this may include links hidden by Ajax. It does it's best not to count links embedded in javascript or other snippets of code, but in all honestly it wouldn't be that surprising for these types of links to slip through. Another way you can links is by viewing Google's Text Cache of the page you are viewing. You can do this with the following query, replacing your website for example.com http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://example.com/&strip=1 Google will "show" the links that it sees. But this doesn't tell the whole story either. You see, Google will also try to parse javascript links and Ajax types link and see if they can follow them. So if you're trying to hide links with AJAX, it may not be the best method, as Google can likely discover them. That said, it's unknown how much weight those links will carry in terms of authority and anchor text. If it sounds like I'm talking in circles, it's because I am.   It sounds like what you're really concerned with here is the amount of links on the page. For that I recommend this post by Dr. Pete: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-many-links-is-too-many Hope this helps!

I made the domain redirect changes last week on the 18th and had my crawl complete on sunday but still seeing both domains in my report?  Does it take time and maybe i need to wait for couple crawls before I see the domains fall off or do i need to start a whole new campaign?  Current campaign is root level domain campaign without the www. THanks n advance

Hi Dana, Without knowing anything about the site or the keywords, I would deduce that the url_1 page has best link profile from external sources for KW1... You will be able to see this by running the three URL's through open site explorer. This will help you understand your offsite optimisation. I would imagine the url_1 has more links than the other two AND/OR the sources of these links are more relevant (or sites with higher Page / Domain Authority) AND the ratio of keywords in the anchor text vs generic anchor text is better (would aim for 1 keyword back link to 3-4 generics). At the end of the day, the reason SEO is such a busy and exciting industry is that there are many signals that help a page rank. If there was an exact answer to your question the industry wouldn't exist. Hope this helps, Dan

Before you invest in a product you could get some information. Lots of people post generic description of products / services here and members will provide their opinions about them.   We will tell you if the box is full of crap or gold.

Wow! Lots of great resources here for me to parse through. Thanks fellas, much obliged.

Cheers Tom

You know what I do when I want to get sense of whether or not a directory page might be worth it?  I go to the directory page that I would expect to get a link from, click on a link, then run a OSE report on the page I land on to see how it shows in the report.  Do that for a few more links on that and other pages and you'll get an idea of it's value.  Keep in mind that directories are often not a good choice when it comes to long-term link value.

Thanks for reaching out to us! We don't account for the browser in most cases. We will give information in our reports for the term as it stands for google.it universally, not based your actual location.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your reply, I have tried to do it with two client accounts.  Both with the same outcome. My email is a googlemail account so I assume I have made a google account ? regards James

Hi Tela, Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit surprised more users haven't been asking for a feature like this. I think it would be great for doing outreach to sites where your competitors just got a link within the past week - strike while the iron is hot. I've been doing a bit of this, but the current interfaces make it a bit time consuming. Main thing I want is to be able to quickly view recent links (preferably from both sources) to a bunch of competitor URLs, in one location (without having to run multiple reports). This could be accomplished by a campaigns type tool, RSS feeds, an API, etc.

PedroandJobu Ain't you the wild thing! First, in On Page reports, you are not seeing one of your new urls? Do you have that new url or the 301'd old one in On Page with a keyword? Go to your Campaign, 4th menu item is On Page - click it. At the top left of the report in blue links will be Summary and Report Card. Click on Report Card.  Plug in the info here and get a report and it will likely show on next campaign. Now, go to your navigation bar and type in the precise url of the old site that is resolving to the new missing report page: does the new page show when you hit enter or something else? This is just a quick and dirty way to see if a redirect is redirecting where you want it. Hope this helps and tell Jobu I have set aside some Jack Daniels Black and a candle in the hallway. Robert

@Chiaryn I had the same issue and dicovered that the tool is very sensitive to how the URLs are enetred. Make sure that you have removed  http:// in the URLs so that all URLs are in the format www.competitorsite.com That should do the trick! Danny

Thank you, Matt!

Rock and roll! Glad you got it all figured out Glenn. Mike

Thanks for all of the responses!
