Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Marcus, the web app already has this feature... unless I'm misunderstanding your question?

Hey Brandon, I too have difficulty with the SEOmoz API, so I'm throwing my vote in here for someone to help please

Howdy JSOC. You can use regex in your .htaccess file. Here's a tutorial to get you started. I'm still trying to master this subject myself, but if you want to provide the specifics, I'll do my best the help you. And if all else fails, you can ask Casey Henderson @ SEOmoz, he'll definitely be able to help you out

Howdy Steve, I personally found a lot of value in Cindy Krum's Mobile SEO book. Give her a shout. Does this help?

No problem Bruce. I would definitely recommend that you look through some recent blog posts, and find some folks with high mozpoints. Hope this helps Bruce

Hey Bruce.

It's generally difficult for someone here to answer that in a non-biased way... because everyone on this site prides themselves with learning SEO. I recommend that you take a look into the SEOmoz company directory. Or, watch the posts and comments for some people you think are giving great advice to others.

Does this help?

You might try running a full linkscape report in the tools section. It may not return anything more than OSE, but then again- it might.

I like to download them all into excel, and then do the filtering from there. Here's a great resource for getting started with Excel for SEO. Does this help?

You can export a list in excel from Open Site Explorer. Does that help?

Hey John, you're right... an extra $30 does help. We usually add an Adwords budget into our proposals, so that  we can use more than just the $75. We do this because we feel like the best keyword research is pay per click advertising.

Google Engage is great, have you signed up for the Professionals Program?

Hey Nick, I didn't notice this until just now- sorry about that. 
Do you mean the testing process for keyword research in Adwords?
We'll research the most probable keywords for qualified visitors, and then either:
#1. test tons of exact match keywords to see real-world worth of each, or
#2. put a few very short broad keywords in, and then use the tool "see all search terms' once the campaign is over to see what the marketplace is actually searching for

Then of course, we optimize the site and create a link building plan for those phrases.

Yeah, sorry too. Ethically, I would say it's gray hat on a small scale, and black hat on larger scale. Of course, that's completely subjective. But I say this because, the main purpose of the secondary site's existence would be, in fact, to 'trick' search engines.
Just my opinion. I also can understand Steve's point of view.

If the site's are relevant for the niche, I may consider 301 redirecting page by page to the primary niche..... or instead, you could just link them over as you're doing. Would it be possible to contact the inbound linking domains, and ask them to link to your primary site instead?  
If the niches are all relevant, I would build pages on the primary site to reflect the secondary site's content. Then redirect page by page. Then contact the linking domains and ask them to update their links. 
Does this help Dunamis?

Are they currently existing?
Did the DNS info reset to your contact info after you bought them? If so, the PR may get reset as well. 
Are the sites relevant to the primary site's niche?

Hey Steve, thanks. I see what you mean, and can't disagree with your thinking... I personally would prefer to spend that hour (or so) trying to get a link to the primary site. But I can understand why others would rather just create one.
We're both assuming that someone would use different hosts, right?
I'm also curious to know, where would you 'draw the line' so-to-speak?
I mean, domain names are only about $10 each, so you could 5, 10, 100. etc. At some point, you would be building an 'unnatural' link profile, and begin to raise flags.  And me being a skeptic, I tend to lean towards as natural of link profiles as possible.

Thanks Steve, you have great point!
However, I don't think they would pass **any **value, due to a lack of inbound links. And, if they began getting inbound links, I believe the efforts spent would have a larger payoff, if the primary site were getting those new links instead.
I'm also kindof a skeptic in SEO... what I mean is, I try not to ever do anything with the primary goal being to deceive search engines. The time invested in building those micro sites, I think would be better spent engaging in building brand recognition (brand queries, natural links, social, etc.)
What do you think Steve? Thanks.

I doubt you'r adding much value, as those links would have very low (or non existent) domain/ page authority. Plus, if your hosting them all on the same C Block IP Address, they'd likely be discounted even further.

I agree. Not only for speed, but there's less chance of things failing in the future if a plugin is depricated. I just finished a site with 200 pages, and rather than using the 'standard'All-inone SEO pack, I decided to use php to automatically generate the title's, meta descriptions, main photo, etc (all based on the url of the created page). I haven't tried analytics 360, but I will now, thanks Laurent!!

This being the SEOmoz community, I assume everyone uses some fantastic wordpress plugins..... what do you guys use?

I liked "seo for wordpress" by yoast... although, I'm kinda leaning towards using custom fields for meta info on larger sites so that I don't have to go back and change anything in the future should the plugin I chose stop being supported.

What do ya'll think? any plugin recommendations?

I was imagining that the vast majority of their pages would be user generated job listings. But I think I was incorrect.
