Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I don't think you should change all the page titles on your site to 40 characters or less just to conform to Google's  new local SERPs.

The 40 character limit is what Google will show not what you are limited to use. The best advice I can give you is to be "true" to your page titles. If you need more then 40 characters to properly let search engines and people know what your pages are about then you should. Just don't add (stuff) an extra list of keywords to the end of your page titles.

I have used Textbroker and I must say that I was very impressed with the quality or content that I received.

I think that their infrastructure is what makes it work. These are some of Textbroker's features I really like:

1. You can choose who writes your article basses on their interests and past writing experiences.

2. You have the opportunity to make 2 sets of changes after you receive the initial content back.

3. The writer only gets paid if you are satisfied.

4. Once you find a great content writer you like working with you can create an on-going working relationship.

5. You can select specific keywords for SEO purposes.

6. Automatic copyscape report.

All these + more, make Textbroker a great place to get good content at a reasonable price & fast.

If the part numbers are not important or irelevent to the product then you should not include them in yor title. But If the part numbers are industry used manufacture numbers and used by people searching for the product then you should include in your title even if it makes them 70 characters or more. Your title should be used to best describe what your page is about and be relevant to how people search for those products.

How long ago did you claim and post changes to your listing?

In the case you provided I would make a page specifically for "upside down cars" and from that page have a link to another internal page that is specifically for "blue upside down cars". The goal is to be the most relevant for the specific search conducted. If one was to search "blue upside down cars" then your "blue upside down cars" page should be more relevant than just "upside down cars" and therefor rank better for that specific search.

Now the question is does "blue upside down cars" merit a page all on its own or should it just be a paragraph and or section in "upside down cars"? It helps to ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. Do you have enough useful informative content to fill a page just for "blue upside down cars"?

2. Is there enough searches conducted for "blue upside down cars" that I should make a dedicated page.

3. What does it mean to me or my client to rank well for "blue upside down cars".

Hope this helps.

I've only seen one site using that. Would be great if someone at SEOMoz can confirm if this is official or a knockoff badge.

Moving a site from one server to another should not affect your Page Rank as long as you keep everything (URLs, file structure, content, etc.) exactly the same.

Here is great tutorial from Matt Cutts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfqKKquA_R0&feature=player_embedded

Those are called sitelinks, they are meant to help users navigate your site. Google analyzes the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for.

The SEOMoz Badge that is available is this one: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/badges

There have been talks of a Profile Badge http://www.seomoz.org/q/do-you-want-an-seomoz-profile-badge

Adding to what Alan said, For better results and to make your template page more relevent you may want to add a more descriptive keyword between  THIS and TEMPLATE.

so "The tool you're using is great, but this (more descriptive keyword) template will help you."

and you would link the '(more descriptive keyword) template" part.

This would help both you human visitors and search engine bots better understand the what that template page is for.

The first thing you should take into consideration is that  The Find was one of the most penalized sites by Google's Panda update. I manage various eCommerce sites that were seeing a good amount of referral traffic from The Find. Then came Panda and we literally saw over a 98% drop in referral traffic from The Find. Recently we have experience a gradual increase but still way over 75% less traffic.

As for optimizing your products I have two suggestions:

1. Remember to strategically place your most important keywords first in your product title.

2. Looks like The Find is now ALSO looking at Facebook likes and using that to determine search results.

I have a client who recently expanded to New York from Miami, so now they have 2 active locations. They currently rank very well for local Miami terms both organically and on local maps. Any specific recommendations as to how to go about optimizing for the New York terms without compromising the Miami terms? BOTH organically and on Local map listings.

Remember that Google is trying to pull up the most relevant result for the specific search. So we need to see why Google would think that your homepage is more relevant then some of your interior pages that you have been trying to optimize for.

Now when you say "I'd done everything right to get other pages on the site to rank for top keywords."

Can you be more specific as to the strategies that you have implemented_?_

Also I wouldn't consider being "stuck" on PR5 a potential issue_._ Many site perform better then others with higher PR.http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/06/beyond-pagerank-graduating-to.html

If the URLs are going to be changing (and hopefully optimized) then 301 redirects are the way to go. What platform are you changing from / to? What kind of server will it be hosted on?

Ranking #1 for what key-term or keywords? It makes all the difference in the wold!

Yes, it does go under the root.

Yes, just open notepad

Yes, change the .html to .php

Are you using Google Adwords?

If so these maybe one or some of the issues causing the Not Set Keyword:

1. Auto-tagging is on but cost data is not applied.

2. There is a redirect in the URL

3. The gclid parameter is altered or dropped from the ad

4. Auto and manual tagging are being used at the same time

5. Manually tagged URLs are missing a value

Remember that a Warning is just that, a "Warning". This doesn't  necessarily mean that you are doing something wrong. It just means that you should be aware of a "possible' issue. If your navigation is intended to help visitors navigate your site and facilitates finding products, then I wouldn't worry about the warnings. If you have such a large navigation just for the purpose of stuffing keywords, then I would reconsider the strategy.

The best way is to do both but if you dont have access to the .htaccess file than just  remove ALL of the link back to www.mydomain.com/index.php and replace with www.mydomain.com

Ah now I see. Outbound to other sites. Yes you definitely don't want to do that!
