Welcome to the Q&A Forum

1. Yes, you need to worry about rnking for both. 2. Get hosting from inside the country. Get the right tld. Get links from inside the country. 3. If it's in a different language you have nothing to worry about with duplicate content. 4. Definitely keep an eye on the tags that google gives you to assist you in properly categorizing your newspaper's site.

In addition to what Tyler said about the subdomain having no impact, the issue is that CNAME isn't actually redirecting anyone. So the traffic that is coming to food.amazon.com isn't really directing to food.com. It's merely renaming that page url. In the event that you set it up that way, then sometime later removed the CNAME, and started food.com off on it's own, you would not inherit any of the domain authority from food.amazon.com. You'd essentially be starting from scratch with food.com.

Maybe good keywords... maybe good traffic... but duplicate content won't get you a ton of great content

Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded the Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory updates and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices

To increase your Domain Authority, you need to build/earn/attract quality backlinks from other websites. These resources will help you get started: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links http://www.seomoz.org/blog/link-building-from-a-to-z

The site is still not showing for any relevant search terms (which is wildly frustrating) - however I have noticed some movement in Webmaster Tools in terms of pages crawled per day. 2jdrivd.jpg

The correct link is http://www.seomoz.org/blog/diagrams-for-solving-crawl-priority-indexation-issues. Are you still looking for advice on this issue, or did you come to a decision?

Thanks for the follow up. I do remember reading about page rank sculpting and that change. Good stuff! I appreciate the replies Adam.

mydomainname.com/muscle-cars/ and mydomainname.com/muscle-cars/muscle-car-restoration.html are two completely separate urls. I wouldn't worry about that.

Yes it does. Thank you for your help and time

Thanks! If we did that, would it be best then to change some/most of the links to the home page, or will that tank our chances of getting the indented listing?

The article I linked you to lists the most recommended link building methods. That's why I thought you might find it useful.
