RE: Avoiding keyword stuffing and self cannibalization
i see, Seomoz does not have the budget of google and its tools while probly the best set there is online, can only do so much. My thoughts are still the same, but i have an idea that will help.
go to http://schema.org/ and look for the product schema and mark each product up as a product, all major search engines respect this schema, i am quite sure they will then see that each product is just that an indervidual product.
note that it will indicate that on your category page you should use the url attribute to point to the actual product page, and on the product page you should also mark up the product with the schema also.
I think if you give it a read you will see what i mean

RE: Geotargeting Issues
You need to 301 redirect in your htaccess file
redirect 301 / http://es.solmelia.com/
Also, your default file is missing, thuis is why you are getting a 404
if you goto www.solmelia.es it will give a 404
if you go to solmelia.es it will redirect to www.solmelia.es//index_solmelia_es.html then it will 301 again to es.solmelia.com
the above line to enter into htaccess shoudl fix both, find other 301's and remove them.

RE: Avoiding keyword stuffing and self cannibalization
I would be more worried about stuffing into one tag, not so much how many products have t-shirts in the name.
dont have a H1 with "t-shirt t-shirt t-shirt t-shirt t-shirt", but i think it is ok to have several tags each with t-shirt in there sonewhere. It is quite exspected and natural to have several producst with simular names.
As for self canibalization, picture this, you have a category page, with links to t-shirt produits with "t-shirt " in the link text, but on each product page you have a link pointing to your category page with t-shirts in the link text, you will actauly rasie the PR for the catagory page as well as give relevance for the term t-shirt to the category page.

RE: How do I redirect non www pages to www on a windows server?
Yes the control panel will put the code in the web.config for you, or uyou can put it in manualy.
The code above has 2 riles in it, to fix domain name, the other to make sure url is lower case

RE: Places ranking for a non-locational phrase?
I assume the rank well for the term and in general, have all the googles places filled out correctly. but i am only guessing, i have wondered myself and others simular. I dont think it temporary either.
I would point out report a problem to google. Dont let others have an unfair advantage.

RE: How do I redirect non www pages to www on a windows server?
go to yout iis server control panel look for url rewriting, if it is not there install it using web platform installer.
then it is a simple ass picking it from a list.
You can also do it in code, using a class inherting the httpmodule this intercepts request before reaching website.
But the easiest way is using the URL rewriting as i suggested.
If tyou dont have access. plonk this in your web.config, change from mydomain.com.au to your own domain
<system.webserver>
<rewrite><rules><rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule"><match url="(.*)"><conditions><add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^mydomian.com.au$" negate="true"></add></conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="<a href=" http:="" mydomain.com.au="" {r:1"="">http://mydomain.com.au/{R:1}" />
</action></match></rule>
<rule name="LowerCaseRule" stopprocessing="true"><match url="[A-Z]" ignorecase="false"><action type="Redirect" url="{ToLower:{URL}}"><conditions><add input="{URL}" pattern="WebResource.axd" negate="true"><add input="{URL}" pattern="Scripts" negate="true"><add input="{URL}" pattern="Content" negate="true"></add></add></add></conditions></action></match></rule></rules></rewrite>
</system.webserver> -
RE: The related: query for one of my urls makes no sense
I checked my deep pages and they come up much the same as home page. But apearing on banners would not help being in related likes in my mind. I dont know why google incleds some and not others, but i guess its on rank or popularity.

RE: Internal Followed Links:
The microsoft IIS toolkit, you need to have a iis web server to use it.

RE: Higher rank created a quick boost but it didn't last..
Take stats, dont panic and move too fast, let your results steady before you move again.

RE: The missing link?
I did a little bit of checking on your site and found numerous violations. The most numerious was html errors. I stoped at 15,000 of them. They are mainly unclosed or unopend html tags. SE's can not tell what is visiable content and what is not, it is hard for them to trust what they see.
most of your pages have over 1000 lines of code, this is a high noise rate to content, just random check of mine show 100 to 400 lines almost all is content. i would move scripts to external files.
You also have a lot of redirects like
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/pg/15-Why-Frontline.aspx" has resulted in HTTP redirection to
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/pg/15-Why-Frontline.html"."http://www.frontlinemobility.com/store/c/31-Wheelchairs.aspx" has resulted in HTTP redirection to
"http://www.frontlinemobility.com/Online-Wheelchair-Store.html".why not link directly to the final destination? Redirects leak link juice
You have many images without alt tags, a good chance to get some keywords in
Also non relevant link text like "more", you should use keywords in link text tio make the pages rank for that term
I assume you are using a off the shelf cms, ecommerce package, and these things may be hard to fix, but SE' like clean code free from violations

RE: Penalized In Google ?
This really sounds like the hosting company moving blame to you.
Why not change hosting, i would do it quickly.
Do you have a image upload? seing the pages are in your image folder.
If so you can add some code to make sure it is actualy images that you are uploading.

RE: Penalized In Google ?
Sounds like your hoster has a problem not you.
How aree you to blame, what on the pages that they blocked? forms that allow html input (html editor)?

RE: How to serve a Mobile & Full Site using one URL?
No, I am also in the process of enquiring, I program in ASP.Net MVC, and the new MVC4 comes with a few starter templates (with Visual Studio 2010), this is where i got the info i suggested.
I can send you a starter template if you like, you can have a look though if you like. Actualy you will need VS2010 to run it, you can down load a trial but then you may as well download MVC4 as well.

RE: Any reaction to the announcement from Google that 'signed in' searches won't pass through search query info to analytics?
Yes i spend most of my time logged out, but every now again I am suprised to see my rankings skyrocket, then disapointment sets in when i realize I am loged in with web history on.
what has not been made clear is if the missing stats will be in Premium Analytics?
And is it true that Premium will cost 150K a year?
And will SeoMoz decide they too can charge more?

RE: Canonical tags
No really, in robots you can block one of them, but that does not stop people from linking to both.
By far the best is not to have 2 urls
next is a 301,
then a canonical
and last would be to use robots.txt

RE: Canonical tags
I can not tell you, as i dont use a cms.
but this is the format
