What is the best keyword tool for 2013?
I am a huge fan of Long Tail Pro. You can enter in a few seed keywords and it automatically grabs thousands of related keywords from the Google Keyword Planner (so you don't have to mess with it). Then you can sort and filter by search volume, organic title competition, CPC, etc. But perhaps the most valuable part of it is that is uses Moz's API to determine Keyword Difficulty so you can quickly determine which keywords get a decent number of searches and are not that competitive, aka the Holy Grail of SEO. (I am not affiliated with LTP, just a big advocate of it since it's definitely the best keyword tool I've used in years and it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in the "mainstream SEO" community. Maybe because the site looks kinda spammy and sales-y but I promise it is legit!)

Non profit rates?
Hi Abe and team~ I notice that your billing levels on the non-profit order form are outdated. Do you have a more current form? Also, would it be possible to get the non-profit discount on a monthly plan instead of annual? I'd like to be able to easily upgrade if needed. Also, I'm confused/concerned by the line "All annual corporate accounts automatically cancel in 12 months."Thanks and kind regards,Daniel

Whats up with google scrapping keywords metrics
Seems to me that Google are under pressure to be more secure with the data they collect so it's a natural progression I feel to hide all the data from us website owners and SEOs; so I'm not one of those who think that it's a ploy to get us all to spend on AdWords. However, I'm not sure that hiding the keyword data rather than anonymising it was the best way for them to go. After all having the keyword data and knowing what keywords are performing best helps us and webmasters to fine tune content and deliver a better experience for our website visitors. Still google ain't gonna change just because a few SEO whine and whinge about it. Rather they'll strengthen their security position and maybe remove more data from our view. I predict that they'll remove the New Vs returning visitor stats on the same security basis. After all you would not want a web site owner knowing you came back to their website. That'd be a massive infringement of their right to privacy!

Can you duplicate on site Blog Posts to Google Plus
Hi no this isn't what I meant, I have authorship sorted. i think I read on Copyblogger that it was a good tactic to re post your blogs on google plus without google penalising you for duplicate copy, in order to engage your google plus following rather than just drop a link ? ash

Street Address Not Appearing on Business Google+ Page
Hey Alan Possibly. As you have likely noticed, there are so many potential factors here it always requires some experimentation. To answer a few of your points: 1. I don't see why you can't have two businesses at one address as long as that is totally legit and they have different names and phone numbers. 2. Look at how your neighbour has his address configured and make sure yours matches that format (if that is working) and that matches how that is laid out in Google maps etc. Then, do a citation audit and make sure you look at any historic variations in your name, address and phone number and update those lisitings. The link in my original post above outlines a structured way to approach this. 3. Will Google take time to show the address - yep, for sure. They may even show it, then not show it again, and then show it again. It's choppy waters in the local ecosystem but if you are sure you have everything correct and have audited external listings then just wait it out a while (2 weeks) and it should be okay. Hope that helps! Marcus

Changing Structure of Links... Yay or Nay?
In my own experience, good category names are very, very important. Have you prioritized your top 10 or 20 keyword search phrases? Those should be worked into your top level categories. I have recently seen reasonable benefits from redesigning categories and subcategories, and of course 301 redirecting popular old ones to the new ones diligently.

Can I track traffic data from multiple country in one campaign?
I got a Pro account. Yes, I guess it just limits us to three engines/countries. I think I need to set up a new campaign. Thanks Robert. Appreciate it.

Excessive use of KeyWord?
Thanks for your Answer Anthony. If google is not too phased by this, Can I add the words "South Africa" to the new pages i will be making. 2 reasons for that is: 1, consistency. 2, better targeted keyword optimisation. p.s. I think in all honesty, by now google is pretty much aware that my site is south african related, and can make it's own algorithmical conclusions for placing us for SA related quires, but for consistency purposes. what do you think?

Any SEO Penalties from Removing RSS Feed?
Robert. Thanks for the response. I hate those sites as well and hate to see how they have exploited RSS. It's a shame Google can't figure out who they are and who the real content creators are. This should save me several hours a month by not having to file DMCA complaints.
