Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The page looks to me like a static page that is using javascript functions and also has image maps that overlay on the world map image.  I disabled javascript using the seomoz toolbar and then had a look at the element using firebug.

Meta title and description should be pretty simple to change - if they are being added(or not added) by a server side scripting language then I can't see that code(since that's the beauty of server side haha).

If you could get back to us with perhaps what CMS is being used we might be able to give you more specific help on how to achieve what you're after

Unless I'm missing something here I thought that you have code to detect browser/user agent and then show the right 'version' of your site based on that result? I'm pretty sure that the search engines are smart enough to see what's going on and that it's not a duplicate site but another version for specific devices.  They would index both sites.

Google is clever enough to see that your blog is on a subdomain(such as squidoo or blogger or wordpress etc etc) and not judge the links strength on that but rather see your blog as a site on it's own.  Therefor be carefully putting too much value into the domain authority metric when building/getting links from such blogs.

It's better to just leave it on default - custom crawl rates are only needed if you're experiencing traffic problems from the server(as stated in your screenshot).

Yyou will also use more bandwidth on your own server by the google bot coming more often so this should also be something you think about. Also worth mentioning is that after 90 days it will go back to default settings.

haha we wish that were a real tag!

I would also love to see this option introduced, be it a weekly check or an on demand rank checker(which would be awesome!).

Most wordpress themes generate RSS feeds automatically.  Take a look at this plugin :

You could also just disallow the actual feed in your htaccess file but I don't think that's ideal.

Thanks Ryan.  Not what I was hoping to hear though!

I've been cleaning up the back link profiles for a certain page on our site, my question is once I'm happy with the new link profile and I want to submit the URL for reconsideration can I submit just one URL or will Google take a look through the entire site?

Correct.  And then your text navigation will be user friendly things like 'products' or 'home' rather than a 2 or 3 phrase keyword.

Custom modify the CMS to use a lowercase 'p' and keep all of it lowercase.  Your other option(as Rand says in that article) is do 301 redirect to an all lowercase URL. Mixed case URL's should only be used for PPC.

I realise this does not answer your question directly, so to answer I'd guess that less capitalization would be better(if I had to go with one or the other).

edit : ppc no longer supporting mixed cases, thanks Stephan

Excuse me for having a little chuckle at the psd that my firefox tried to download after clicking the sexintheshower link!

But on a serious note, we have links like these too and it has puzzled me in the past.  I've also noticed this sort of thing on competitors sites and to be honest it just seems like one of those things that are best ignored.  It's not going to hurt your rankings in any way and to try hunt down owners via whois lookups etc would likely just be a wild goose chase!

I'm sure there will be someone on here that could give a technical reason why these links appear, but I do believe it's not something to invest much time in

Adding text (eg. ourkeyword) below/above the image/logo will not be seen as spam.

You don't mention if your image/logo is making use of the alt tag or not?

What you need to do is paginate, see this guide ->   http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/08/numbered-page-navigation-for-blogger.html

It will require some html knowledge but will be worth the final result.

Hope this helps

1. Yes since the code I gave you will rewrite the extension of every single page FROM php to html.  From html to php would mean the same thing, since a link pointing to products.php would no longer work.  The rewrite only rewrites the extensions and not the links.

2. Yes contacting the webmasters and changing the links would be better than doing 301 redirects of all your pages.

I advise to test this on a testing server first, especially if your site has a lot of pages.

Add into your htaccess file :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php [L]

Remember you'll need to make sure to change all the links on your site, and all external links too.

The only other way around changing all the links would be to do 301 redirects for each URL which is, in my opinion not really worth all the work involved since .php and .html should both rank equally in Google and other search engines.

The directory spammers and those such automated services will cause more harm than good.  You would be better off paying for professional copywriting or journalist to write you awesome content - then there are some good services on offer to get these press releases/articles out there (a good example would be PRweb.com - it's by no means cheap, but as with many things in life you get what you pay for).

'Given that, if the 4 blogging tools above all require the use of a subdomain, then how am I actually taking advantage of the seo value of blogger,posterous, tumblr?'

Google is clever enough to know that although the domains you listed are pretty strong, they will judge each blog on it's own without taking into consideration the domain level strength(esp since it's a free platform).

My advice is to have one blog, on your own site and put the best possible content on it. Putting thin and slightly tweaked content all over the show is not going to bring you the kind of results you're after.

Those blogging platforms do have their uses, but keep in mind the above and that you should not invest too much time in them if you have a core website/business that you're trying to rank/sell etc

Avoid Excessive External Links

<dl>

<dt>Explanation</dt>

<dd>Linking externally is generally a good thing, but as with many optimization tactics in SEO, moderation is the best path. Employing a high number of followed external links may prevent the engines from passing much value through any given link and can also trigger potential issues of spam/manipulation (particularly if those links are not pointing to high quality/trustworthy sites).</dd>

<dd>

Avoid Excessive Internal Links

<dl>

<dt>Explanation</dt>

<dd>Employing an excessive quantity of internal-pointing links may not directly harm the value of a page, but it can influence the quanity of link juice sent through those links and dilute it's ability to help get link targets crawled, indexed and ranked.</dd>

<dt>Recommendation</dt>

<dd>Scale down the number of internal links to fewer than 100 (preferrably), and, at a minimum, fewer than 300</dd>

</dl>

</dd>

</dl>

I ran your URL through http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/  and it picked up 221 links on page/URL's so to answer your question I'd say yes they do.  Although as far as I'm aware having more than 100 links on your page is not a problem, provided that it's 100 or less outbound links and not inner links.

Another thing to comtemplate is that if I turn javascript off I can't navigate your site at all, this might be worth looking into
