Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for you response, I have heard mixed responses, but generally other people agree with you. I will work on improving the on site country specific optimization to improve conversions!

Do you know of any resource that will support this As the linking page changes over time (# and authority of links to the page, outbound links on the page), the amount of "link juice" it passes will change also. I have read reaserch on google only passing the anchor text once , so even if you change it wont. But nothing on the passing of "link juice" over time

I cant get this to work at all at the moment, just get this message: Fetching link data, please wait. This can take up to 5 minutes left is running for nearly 30 mins and nothing happens

That's a good idea.  It's strange, though, that it would have crawled almost all the other links on the site, but not this one, which is the one linked to most conspicuously from the home page.

2. I believe you mean subdomains on wordpress.com, which are free. Wordpress.org is where you can download the Wordpress software and self-host the site.

I'd like to know the answer too... Our page is an e-commerce site, and Google sometimes gives the duplicate content reports for pages that don't match, but haven't got much of unique content. Thought maybe you solved the problem?

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

Hi Jane There has been a fair amount of discrepancy regarding Google Places rejections, and unfortunately as of now, there are still difficulties in re-instating rejected submission for Google Places. Located here is a good article regarding difficulties with Google Places listings; in the meantime, you can start by ensuring you are using Google Webmaster Tools. The Google Places dashboard does not mention checking the Google Webmaster Tools dashboard, where issues may be occurring, so you may be able to find helpful notices there. As well, if you have two businesses residing at the same address, it may be beneficial to add an “a” and “b” to the suite number (if possible) as Google Places may have trouble identifying two businesses in the same suite.

Hello Tom and Asif, First of all Tom thanks for the excellent blog post re google docs. We are also using the Jshop platform for one of our sites. And am not sure whether it is working correctly in terms of SEO. I just ran an seomoz crawl of the site and found that every single link in the list has a rel canonical in it, even the ones with session id's. Here is an example: www.strictlybeautiful.com/section.php/184/1/davines_shampoo/d112a41df89190c3a211ec14fdd705e9 www.strictlybeautiful.com/section.php/184/1/davines_shampoo As Asif has pointed out the Jshop people say they have programmed it so that google cannot pick up the session ids, firstly is that even possible? And if I assume thats not an issue then what about the fact that every single page on the site has a rel canonical link on it? Any help would be much appreciated. <colgroup><col width="1074"></colgroup> | | | |

Thanks Tom, That's all very useful stuff, and food for thought. Cheers Ben

We also just published a YouMoz on the main blog today that deals exactly with this subject. Check it out at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/3-steps-to-social-seo-for-your-boring-ass-clients

Thanks! I assumed that was the situation, but I was just curious. Hopefully I'll see the link strength a little faster than normal Thanks for the quick response.

I have no experience with Majestic SEO, but I believe it has some of this capability.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean.. You want the keyword from a google search to show up on your afflink?

But SEOMoz also recommends to go up to 300 links per page, per the White Board Video I linked to. I wish I could get the page below 100 unfortunately, the drown menus are 2 layers deep and I am not sure how to reduce their size to the web crawlers.  It also does not seem to be effecting our site negatively.
