Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the response, Ryan. I'm leaning towards Joomla! as they seem to have more options for each feature and a more supportive community, which I will certainly need.

Howdie Mozzers! I am wondering the same thing. Are we getting closer? I'm dying to share them with my team. Do we have an ETA??

I would suggest both, since someone might be searching for it while on a trip or visiting the family during the weekend and hence might not be geographically in the town at the time of his/her search.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Super helpful. Is SEOmoz's Q&A custom built?

The short answer to that question is that you can't make a flash site 'fully' SEO friendly. That's why so many companies that were counseled by agencies a few years ago to develop flash sites have now reverted back to more easily crawled platforms. Flash is pretty but not search engine friendly.

Thanks

My apology , but i disagree only on one thing "...  you can almost guarantee yourself ..." On a topic that is perfectly on grey zone like this (where not even the Google Webmaster prohibited it directly) , i know that i wont be able to guarantee it myself (even when it is backed with huge amount of correlated data) All I am saying is, PERHAPS based on the correlation data made by mad scientist in SEOMOZ, the effect for links coming from Comment on Blog is not correlated to high rank , but as said by many correlation is not causation .. Again many on-going debate is running for this kind of discussion but no one can say "i guarantee it " (unless if uncle google decided to participate in this discussion himself) xD my 2 cents

My experience with this is changing them in the IIS. I haven't moved out of a ASP.net environment, but I had to write mods for the handling of the parameters when we redesigned. I bet your hosting company can help with some mods to the htaccess file. Maybe this will help. http://www.phatz.com/301redirect.php

To clarify, I agree with Joe's response as well. On your home page, like your facebook page. On the remaining pages of your site, tie the like function to the page. Some sites break their like buttons down further. You can have a product page which shows multiple products where you place a Like button next to each product. Another example would be this Q&A section. You can place a Like button next to each reply and Like them individually. The system offers a lot of flexibility and some experimentation is suggested to determine what works best for your site.

Thanks so much, Joe and Anthony. Both answers help! AK

Hi Use the keywords that people use to describe what you're offering. It sounds like you might not have a keyword problem, but rather maybe you're not quite sure what exactly the site is offering, what the architecture is, and what products, services, functions etc you will be offering. What are people going to be able to do on your site?  Why would they want to come to your site?  What will it offer that's so engaging and attracts visitors?  What's your "unique selling proposition"? I hope I don't come across as trying to dodge your question, but I think if you can clearly answer these questions, it might make your keyword research much easier. Also - be sure you're using "exact" and "phrase" match in adwords tool, not "broard" - broad numbers are unrealistically high. 39% is not too high for competition, in my experience. Also, are you "branding" your website?  That's very important these days of course. Hopefully this gives you some ideas! -Dan

Just exactly what happened to me, I recently added new keywords and haven't been crawled by SEOMOZ bot.

I was hoping with all Google's trillion mega billion dollars they'd be able to discern something like that.  Boy - I should have been a math major.
