Do the terms in a website url drive search hits
Header 1. It's the main heading on the page. On the page you're referencing, the H1 tag contains "We Do Hadoop in the Cloud". Your H1 should contain the keyword phrase you're trying to rank for. There should only be 1 H1 on the page.

2 Menu links to same page. Is this a problem?
Hi, Although it seems slightly strange, I can't see any significant SEO issues which it might cause. Have you asked the client why they want to do this? As I'm sure you know, usually one page should focus on one topic and therefore require one link from a main navigation. Something worth considering would be the internal anchor text which Google will take in to consideration for the linked-to page. If you have 2 or more links on one page linking to the same page, Google will use the first instance of the link as the anchor text. This is something you may want to have a think about.

Twitter and SEO
Unfortunately that's probably a question better answered by somebody else. I'm not well versed in Twitter when you start talking about different languages/countries, etc. I'd say that's okay, but you may save time by just trying out your content/social strategy in one language first. There's a lot going on there (customs, cultural differences) these audiences could be vastly different as far as what makes them tick and what makes them likely to engage. Like I said, you're probably better off having someone else chime in on that. Sorry! Good luck, though.

My question is, when you translate your website to another language, does moz crawl both or do i have to add another campaign to moz so that they can crawl it seperately?
The crawl is automatic, so there's no setting to adjust. If you're trying to create a new campaign, go here: http://analytics.moz.com/manage-campaigns and select "+ New Campaign" in the top right corner. Cheers!

How valuable are citaitons/consistency (Moz Local) for a NON-local business?
Hi Avin, I'm really sorry that I did not see you had replied on this thread. Provided that you have face-to-face interactions with customers at your corporate office, then yes, it would be worth it to build citations on the major platforms.

Duplicate content pages on different domains, best practice?
Using canonical IS NOT the solution, because if you use canonical the FAQ pages of the canonicalized websites are going to be deindexed. So, just do it if you really don't care about the traffic those answers can generate for your sites (as you can imagine, this is an ironic suggestion...). Just use the hreflang, because Google in the last months has become quite smart in understanding that it means that you consider those pages relevant enough for the geo-targeted audiences to not filter them out even if they are substantially identical between country versions. Said that, try to differentiate the FAQ pages (better localization of the language. i.e.: English UK is slightly different than American English), or even offering a local number for phone inquiries and localized email address for question via email. In general, it is not a good idea using the crossdomain canonical in International SEO, and it should be used just in exceptional cases.

Google and connector words
Ok thank you. That's what I have been doing, examining the returned results. And it appears to me that Google does indeed treat the wording differently, it doesn't change the result much though. Where keywords used by people finding this business lack the connector words the content of the site needs to use them for text to make sense and flow. I was looking for a way to at least link the phrasing to help keep the page ranking. Any suggestions ?

Agreed! Thank you for that Massimiliano. Definitely a lack of deeper browsing is of concern.
