Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Here's 20 (with PR listed) to get you started. http://www.web-directories.ws/Regional/North_America/Quebec/ Enjoy!

Hi - hope this helps! I understand that a person can place a Google author tag on the website, and a reciprocal link under the "Contributor To" section of the person's Google+ profile page. Yes you can - add the google+ tag to your author profile on your site like this <a <span="">rel</a><a <span="">="author" href="</a>https://plus.google.com/your google profile number?rel=author">+Your Google Name What about Google+ pages? Can a business (or Google+ page) be an author? The "Contributor To" section doesn't seem to be present for my Google+ Page.... No - it doesn't work like that - create your google company profile page using your personal google+ profile. Add a link to your site in the website field on the about section on your profile, and add a link to your site from the recommended links section. What about the publisher tag? Can you have both an author and a publisher tag? Yes you can. There are a few options for this - most of which include a button, but you can opt for the no badge function which will give you the code for just a head tag to add to your site. To link and verify your company profile - go to your personal profile page, then click your company page, then, hit get started and click the link for "get your badge" under the "connect your website" section and select the style of badge or code you want from there. You can have a publisher tag on your site and multiple different author tags with no conflict. My end goal is to have our company name and avatar to appear as an author in SERPs. Which tag is going to help me achieve this? Once you have added both codes above, you will find that you can post as your company if you go to your company profile and share publicly and your company avatar will show alongside the posting. The company won't show as the author though.

No Problem.  As other posters said, it may take some time till the new crawl results are updated in OSE. I have noticed many links to our site that are not included in OSE.

Done and I'm in. Nice work!

I absolutely agree with Keri on the points she raised. Some responses to your questions: With respect to your navigation changes, it could have a positive or negative effect on your site depending on the changes. If you eliminated links to less popular areas of your site, that is a good thing. If you eliminated links to good content and now it takes users more clicks to open a page then more juice will be lost and the content could become too deep for indexing. The links from your duplicate content sites shouldn't hurt your site, but if they share your same web host they don't help it either. It sounds like you are aware of your duplicate content issues and are working to correct the problem. With respect to establishing a brand, I would suggest you really focus on making your main site stand out. A part of that is having a great looking site that is not just another template copy. My favorite source of information on establishing a brand is: http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/future-of-link-building  Since the webinar is titled "link building" many people miss it. I LOVE this video. Watch it, then watch it again. Take notes. It contains fantastic information for establishing a brand.

Thanks Dan, My main concern is moving some of the links on the top menu of my website elsewhere and reducing the number of on-page links. My goal is basically to increase the link juice given to my more important pages, and have my other, less important pages, accessible from a deeper level within my website. I think this methodology follows the best practices - but, again, I am worried about any potential negative effects that can occur with the changes I want to implement.

This should be fun... lol Thanks for the advice!

Danny Dover also mentioned in his new book (Search Engine Optimization Secrets) that iframes do not get crawled. Just another source backing up Daniels answer.

Amazing thanks for the quick response! You just listed exactly what I had in mind but needed to confirm. Thanks for your input
