Subdomain to Subcategory migration for an active news website blog
Hi Rishad - depending on the way the blog format is built and the backend technology, this might be either a bit challenging or quite simple. If, for example, you're using Wordpress, you can simply use the same exact format, but republish the existing content at the new URLs (essentially changing where the installed version of the blog publishing software points). If, however, you've got something custom, you'll need the developers/engineers to make changes in the codebase to publish at the new URLs. For everything old, you'll want to create what's called a "rewrite rule" - either ISAPI rewrite (if using Microsoft/ASP/.NET/IIS base) or mod_rewrite (if using Apache/LAMP). Your developers should be familiar with how to do these, but if not, there's some good, more details resources here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/url-rewrites-and-301-redirects-how-does-it-all-work http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection The fact that it's on a subdomain won't make a huge difference - it should just make the rewriting and the pain from potential lost Google juice less harsh. One thing I'd also suggest - sending in new XML Sitemaps via Google + Bing Webmaster Tools when you relaunch. You want them seeing those new URLs quickly (link building to the new blog location and tweeting/FB sharing those URLs can help, too). Best of luck! Rand

Tactics to Influence Keywords in Google's "Search Suggest" / Autocomplete in Instant?
I suppose you're correct but it's all relative to the keyword in question, isn't it?

Should I nofollow the main navigation on certain pages?
I dont see any reason to put or not the follow links in your navigation, unless you want to focus on a certain page for more relevancy, or focusing a certain page for ranking. If you want to remove your follow links on your navigation be sure you specified your inner pages in your Sitemap.xml, so Google bots can still track your pages.

Website has been penalized?
The links on our link exchange script accounted to about 2% of websites total links, most of our link building has been through natural articles and websites posting about us. So even if Google discounted our links via link exchange - this wouldn't of made us drop this much? I agree with you. That's a very small number and unlikely to be the problem. The duplicate content issue is fixed. Excellent! I have removed the link exchange script. Good.... Even if I link as www.freemoviedb.com as anchor text, will it still help me rank for my keywords? Yes, you'll want to keep a number of links out there with your keyword anchor text, as that still has a high effect on ranking for a particular term. But you'll want to present a link profile that has a more natural "mix" of keywords and your domain to avoid getting flagged as spammy.

.Co Domains - Any thoughts?
This is the exact reason why I am hesitant to purchase and run with .CO domains. I would rather exercise all of my options to make a .com work rather than running with a .CO.

DCMI and Google's rich snippets
Yeah - ditto here. I tested DCMI on a few sites years ago, and I know folks who've tested more recently. We also looked at meta data of any variety in our correlation/rank analysis in 2009 and saw the engines appear to ignore everything but the known tags - description, robots, etc.

Canonicalisation - different languages and channels
The problem with serving content for different channels is that crawlers read 2 pieces of the same content and can penalize you. There a few workarounds for that.One is obviously the fact that you can add a rel=canonical tag, but if you are serving same content due to only channels, it may pose an issue. Example: if your webpage URL is www.mywebsite.com/abc (which can be accessed via navigational links on your website) and you have a url www.mywebsite.com/xyz which you use for mobiles, PPC or any other channel, but both having the same content, it will cause problems. The way to deal with such issues is adding parameters (campaign id, etc) to 1 URL to tell google that you are using this version of the page(the one with campaign id) for some specific channel. If you are making your website ready for the mobile, the best way is to tackle is to write device detection codes in your htaccess file. It may look something like this: RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.iPad.$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ipad.mydomain.com [R=301] If you are serving content in different languages, then it shouldnt be much of a problem (generally speaking)
