Welcome to the Q&A Forum

allhiphop.com ... you got lucky with bbc, nice catch.

I had great experience with http://www.isprime.com/

Gogle might think that it's a spammy site, because of the such change.

Give it sometime and meanwhile build couple of links.

The shorter the better. When you keep your urls straight to the point it helps crawl to understand what is the most important content is shown on particular page. I would recommend to go for category-name/product-name.

However don't expect tremendous growth and dont forget to 301 old urls.

thank you, I am just looking for the ways to improve my rankings.

There is no official word from google that its stops reading links after 100. Try to reorganize your navigation so that you have less links.

As far as I understand crawl can't understand what kind of information PDF has, after converting to HTML crawls will be able to read it and rank it.

is there any particular reason do you want to accomplish it? Can you please tell us what are you trying to achieve.

decrease size of your pictures by 30% in most cases you wont even see the difference, but it helps a lot with load time.

Also check if you have any errors: http://validator.w3.org/ and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Good Luck.

Logically Google should use bounce rate as one of the factors, but what happens in reality nobody knows. On our personal experience we were managed to decrease bounce rate by 10%, didnt notice any page rank growth or drops.

Aim for 30% bounce rate.

it's an A

Keyword Difficulty Tool. Why my rank is lower than competitors even though I have higher numbers? Can somebody help me understand this... take a look at screenshot.

What should I do to get to number 1 position?

Keyword: Hip Hop Jewelry

My Website: traxnyc.com

We actually have seen some positive results from getting new reviews on local results, after updating out google places page. We start getting more impressions and obviously clicks. So I would say there is a some sort of correlation between reviews and local results. However I am not sure if this goes further than that.

The shorter the better! By including keywords inside of the link will help crawlers to better understand whats that particular url about.

Good Luck

Official Google response is NO. PageRank has nothing to do with traffic it's all about links.

You should have 301 your most important pages to the new urls, so that you would keep your juice.

try 301 redirect for most important links. http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection

I wonder if somebody had an experience with alexa's audit. What kind of information they provide? Is it completely useless?

SEOMoz recommends to keep them below 100.  Because Google starts out by recommending that links on a page are kept to a reasonable number, which they classify as below 100. This rule of thumb is somewhat outdated and can be traced back to when spiders read a smaller portion of a web page – the more links contained within the page, the longer it was. To ensure its spiders performed effectively, the benchmark of 100 was set. While search engines now read much more of a page before indexing it, having more than 100 links can set off the spam filters and result in a lower perceived page quality.
