Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yep, I was right, profiles cannot be recovered within a Google Analytics account.

I think you need to ask yourself this: If you were doing this type of "shady" PPC marketing like your competitor is, and they found out about it, do you think they would be so kind as to not turn you in?

I concur, Xenu is an extremely valuable tool for me that I use daily. Also, once you get a list of all the URLs on your site, you can compare the two lists in excel (two lists being the Xenu page list for your site and the list of pages that have been indexed by Google).

OK Team,

My client did not know what she was doing today and proceeded to delete approximately 18 Google Analytics accounts that were setup under an account. Everything I read says profiles cannot be recovered once deleted. Does anyone have any confirmation of this or have any other ideas on how I might recover these deleted profiles?

I know it's not looking good but I hope that if anyone knows anything about this it would be this forum.

Thanks for your replies in advance!

What's the best keyword ranking report tool that anyone is using currently? I have used CuteRank (booo), Rank Tracker, SEOBook.com Rank Tracker, etc. Cost isn't an issue - I'm looking for a free or a paid tool.

I need to be able to export resutls in PDF and Excel format.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm considering using Wordstream to help me better manage my AdWords PPC accounts. I have a couple of concerns though and that is their solution doesn't manage Bing/MSN PPC. So, all I would be getting is a tool that manages PPC accounts for Google.

Can anyone recommend a good PPC Management tool that won't break my bank?

I also like to use Keyword Spy (www.keywordspy.com). It helps me see keywords my competitors are using. That's always a great place to start.

I agree with this completely. Lowercase with hyphens is my preference. Some E-commerce  companies (let's use Volusion as an example), give you the choice to use hyphens or underscores in a product's URL. This is nice and they even offer you the ability to write what the URL will be under the "Short TItle" option. However, this "Short Title" option is what will show in your URL AND the link text for a "Related Product" listing on the site. So if I want the link text to look normal when someone sees a Related Product link, I have to capitalize the text I put for the "Short Title" which will then cause the URL to be in Caps as well. This is a pretty significant flaw in their system and I have alerted them to the problem numerous times. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.

That's what I suspect...my competitors building incoming links to our site that are malicious and irrelevant. So what do I do at this point?

All of our sites have their own dedicated ip address at the hosting companies we use.
