Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Anthony and John.  I appreciate your insight and advice.

Cool!  I'm primarily concerned with for-profit uses, so that's great to know.  I'll definitely check it out.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

Its the Authorship Markup . Now bloggers and Authors can enhance their snippet by adding rel= Author to their Author page. The image is pull out from Rands G+ Profile. the Way implemented is adding a rel="author" to link going to his author page July 27th, 2011 - Posted by randfish to SEOmoz Tools and when you go to Rand Profile you will see his G+ Profile with a rel=me. to verify that rand is the an author on SEOmoz Blog ... Rand has linked to his Blog under links https://plus.google.com/111294201325870406922/about

Q&A is a little slow on the weekends, and really slow this Labor Day weekend, so it's taking a little longer to get responses than it might at other times. Hang in there, and I'm sure you'll get some comments. If not, ask the question again in a couple of weeks, in the middle of the week (and leave me a note on here and I'll delete this copy of the question).

So, basically, we are thinking of putting all content related to one keyword in a subdirectory. Currently all content is in one main subdirectory. For example, url.com/un-related-subdirectory/tons of content to url.com/keyword/content-related-to-this-keyword.

There is no penalty at all  . on the contrary its a best practice while renovating your site or Reconstructing URLs is to use a 301 redirect to preserve the link equity to the new destination.. I added a video for your reference. watch?v=r1lVPrYoBkA

Thank you so much for the feedback.

aussie address on every page links from aussie websites likely to be your best bet personalisation - get people to google for your brand can you target to aus in webmaster tools from a co.uk? do you see any UK (or any foreign) websites ranking in aus for similar or competitive terms? Can you identify how they did it?

Thanks, Wayne, I never thought about link juice flowing to those pages, I'll have to check that out before making a decision. All the pages I want to remove are in the same directory, so would adding the text below to robots.txt remove all the pages in that directory from the index? User-agent: * Disallow: /directory/

In this case I would focus on usability first. You may find that you help SEO but your conversion rates go down. I would do A B testing with both formats and use the one that performs the best. Customer usability is more important in my opinion so find that out first and optimize the best performing layout.

Thanks for the advice... I have considered suggesting a different form layout, but since I've seen so many similar ways out in the wild, it's hard to tell (we tested a one pager while I was at Napster and it flopped, yet had success other places, so you never know). What's a high bounce rate for a cart these days?

Well, another concern if they're completely unrelated links is that they may look like paid links which you could even be penalised for.

I have also had some great success via the University avenue.  Not only for writters......... Great points!
