Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hmmm,

I really cant see how I could be using it wrong.... its kinda basic.  Thanks, I will await a response from the admin.

Cheers!

Hi, just wondering if I am the only one who is not having much luck lately using the Competitive Link Finder .

In the past it has worked pretty well.  But as of the past week or so, it has only returned on link.  I know there are many of them which should be found.

Anyway, just curious if I am solo with this issue.

Hi Ken,

This is an overarching issue with lots of sites which sell several products in each catagory.

Expertlaunch has some good ideas for you to run with.

You may also give some thought into using:

<meta < span="">name="robots" content="noindex, follow" />  on the duplicate content pages .  It will help the remaining pages in the SERPS.  </meta <>

I read this tip in a thread a while back and it worked!  Here is the thread below EGOL mentioned it.  He seems to provide high quality feedback which has helped me in the past.

Just a few thoughts.

No knowing what you are currently sitting with in regard to links, it is tough to say, but, I would certainly consider obtaining some links, just be a little picky.

That said,  some of those in this list are not going to do much for you as they are very large and often you will be simply one business on a long page of competitors.

Its valuable to see lists such as this to see where your competition has aquired links and of what quality, but I really like to see where your competition is not; then make a run at some of those location.

I am more and more a fan of getting the links via networking and personal communication rather than submissions.  They take can take some work to get, but are more than likely very much worth the effort.

Cheers!

Hi, Harry

Have you use the tools within Google Analytics?

I have found that simply using google analytics and the keyword tool(s) offered there provide more that enough insight into this for me.

Good luck!

Oh, yes, I see. These folks are just wondering simply should; where to host and be done with it.  Nothing more elaborate.  Thank you for your input.  I never thought of doing that!!  Cheers

Do you mean have /ca as well; such as John's link mentioned?

Cool thanks, I will also add that into my knowledge bank...... I'm a sponge.  Always like to hear thoughts and ideas from others!

John, that was great, thank you so much1

Hi folks, I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

So, I work with a company who is based in Canada.  I work in the US branch.  There is little or no trouble for the website ranking well in Canada due to the lack of competition.  That said, it is a bit more challenging here in the US due to extreme competition.

My Question:

Does having the site hosted in Canada make it any more difficult for the site to rank well in the US?

As always, thanks so much. I love this place!!!

No, I have not seen this happen to any pages as of yet.  I will however keep an eye out.  Congratulations on your semi recovery,  I am sure there are many out there who would like to be in your shoes right now!!

Cheers

Both of these comments are on target, that said, I would remove any links you can.... within reason.  And, I am generally a big fan of updating content.  Regardless of the successes of the page.  I think fresh is good, it keeps people coming back......... cheers!

Well said.  I agree and checked into the keyword(s) as well and was returned the same quantity.

I to would suggest looking into alternatives to that keyword.  If one chooses at looking into long tailed keywords there are lots of opportunities here.

I agree, I have found the BBB to be a nice one to be tied to, a wonderful resource.  I had no idea pricing was so high these days!

Hey thanks Ben,

Thats pretty much how I look at it too.  Its nice to have affirmation from time to time from the pro's out there!

Cheers!

Thank you anyway.  My question has been answered

Boomajoom,   I like that idea.  Space is a little bit of an issue right now, but I will keep that thought around for a while.  Thank you!

I am wondering about the possibility of duplicate content as well.  In terms of key word research.  They are all pretty strong.  Hmmm, I am going to be giving it more thought for now.  Thanks again.

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply.  I was thinking the same thing; although I was also worried a bit about duplicate content issues as Margarita S has mentioned.  Titles and Headings could be fairly similar excluding the aircraft type.  Could this be a duplicate content issue?

Hey everyone!

I am looking for some opinions on organizing website content. Here are two thoughts.  I am open to alternative suggestions as well.  Thanks for any consideration in this matter!

**Aviation Supply Store   Thought A  **

**Helicopters                                          Airplanes                                 Rockets   **

Helicopter engines                     Airplane engines                              Rocket engines

Helicopter Fuels                          Airplane Fuels                                  Rocket fuels

Helicopter Accessories               Airplane Accessories                  Rocket Accessories

Aviation Supply Store  Thought B

Engines                               Fuels                                  Accessories

Helicopter Engines            Helicopter Fuels           Helicopter Accessories

Airplane Engines                Airplane Fuels               Airplane Accessories

Rocket Engines                    Rocket Fuels                 Rocket Accessories

I simply chose aviation as an example.  I'm just having difficulty deciding on how best to catagorize.

Thank You!
