Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Those are huge decreases....looks like Google is controlling cash flow into businesses.  I just fell from #2 to #5 for my main key term.  I will have to start using their PPC.

What is 'rel=me' and how does it help your seo.  I have a few social links on my webpage but not sure I have it set up right.

Thanks Devanur.....I have a much better understanding now! Appreciate the input.

Thanks for the clarifying David.  I was not sure.

I am looking to create some more trust on my website by subscribing to BBB.  I have heard that my site is penalized and loses "link juice" if I place the BBB logo link in my page footer on every page of my website.  Does anyone know how much I am penalized? Should I only put it on my conversion pages and maybe my main 10 sub pages?

My main goal is to assist in getting conversions but I don't want to do it at the expense of getting a penalty.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Boo

BBB and possibly business.com

I am looking for a junior llnkbuilder but I noticed you only have 5 root links on your site.

How hard is it to put in Canonical tags on a webpage? My web guy didn't do it because he put in redirects in place for all old URLs and all content 
(except error pages and advanced searches) should have a unique URL.

By not having canonical tags does it lose link juice?  Not sure if that question makes sense.

I didnt' mean links to put on my site.  Is that what you were thinking.  I mean getting other sites to link to me.  You gave me some ideas though.

Real Estate sites

Storage

CPA's

etc.

Thanks!

I have a webpage for all 50 states for specific info relating to relocation and was wondering if there are any recommended links to work at getting for these pages.  I would like to do "state" specific and possibly health related links for each page to help in the SEO rankings.

I can see that if I just wanted to get 10 links on each page that is going to be 500 links I have to build and it is going to be very time consuming but I feel it is necessary.

Thank you,

Poo

Hopefully we can find out what is going on.  Not sure how my strongest links are not showing up. Alexa has me with 24 links.

My two strongest links did not show up in the latest Open Site Explorer run.  Business.com and BOTW.com...Linking domains went from 21 to 15.

Domain dropped 3 pts and Page authority dropped 3 pts I believe.

Is there a function in SEOmoz.org that lets you track your domain scores over time?

Thanks,

Boo

I would start off with a couple of good purchased links too. Like Business.com and BOTW.com. BBB.com is a great one I have heard too.  That is the next one I will buy.

Excellent Question!

My site started out at 18 and in 12 months I have increased it to 38 with the help of suggestions on this site.  My goal is to hit 40 by the end of the year.  I did this by

#1 Created 22 new root linking domains. (including a few paid from the list of suggested domains on SEOmoz.

#2 Changed my URL's to be more keyword rich

#3 Improved SEO on site with Optimization tools on SEOmoz

#4 Improved content

It has been fun and exciting.  I  know that if I improve on all the SEOmoz recommended metrics that it will help my search rankings and gradually help me against the competition.

New Things in process to get us to the 50 mark!

#1 Blog

#2 Better landing pages

#3 Web development

#4 More links to pages deeper in site

#5 Continued optimization of webpages on site. etc

Does the order of the words in the URL matter?

What could have factored into some of my key words dropping from an A to a C on my on page rankings.  I am not sure how it happened because there were not any chages made.

Thanks,

Boo
