This question is not clear. Are you saying http code 200 or quantity 200? There is nothing called a 200 redirect. A http code 200 is normal. 301s are an 'old' URL pointing to a new URL. A blog post beautifully demonstrated this yesterday. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/an-seos-guide-to-http-status-codes

RE: Multi country targeting for listing site, ccTLD, sub domain or .com/folder?
I would pick subfolders. Here's why. IN GWT you can set country targeting for specific folders.
This video, by Susan Moskwa, is VALUABLE for any international SEO: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399?hl=en
At 4 min 22 secs she talks about using sub folders to geo target in GWT. It's a must watch for anyone who is thinking about international SEO.

RE: How Do I Create a Google Analytics Dashboard for My Designer To Monitor Landing Page A/B Testing
You should be using Google Content Experiments. It used to be called Google Conversion Optimizer. You can find Google Experiments in GA > Content > Experiments. There is a video there you can watch. You can test up to 6 version of a single webpage.

RE: ISO Freelance SEOMOZ tutor or consultant for small online retailer
I am one of the smaller guys here (getting bigger though). When I have people call me with an HTML site, I normally prefer to move them to WordPress or Magento, if ecommerce. If all you need is on-site optimization, you're going to get a wide range of quotes. If you want your site to be all on WP and don't mind outsourcing, go to oDesk or PM and I'll put you in touch with one of my developers overseas.
HTML > Wordpress is completely different than an SEO. This all depends on how small/big your site is for both the move and SEO services. I'm just speaking from experience that the HTML sites I have worked with were a pain in the ass because of CSS issues. CMS is the way to go.

RE: How do I correctly use YouTube?
I would try to get more thumbs up. I actually would put it during the video. Also I would put "SUBSCRIBE to Our Channel"

RE: On-Page Question
As far as I know, product specs are okay to copy. For instance, a Motorola RAZR cell phone's features are okay to copy from the manufacture's website. There is nothing better than to write original content. Sometimes I rank because of only one word in the body. I developed a site called Shipoverseas.com and I want to rank for the keyword "international motorcycle shipping". Here is the real SERP: http://www.google.com/search?&q=international motorcycle shipping&pws=0
Look at the title. It doesn't have the keyword "international motorcycle shipping". The snippet is generated by Google. That isn't even my meta description.
My point is 'if' you are copy and pasting, other websites would rank for that snippet instead. WRITE ORIGINAL CONTENT. It will make you money.
Once you get to my website, do me a favor since I helped you. Scroll down and share this on facebook or hit the Google +1 button.

RE: Subdomains or subfolders for language specific sites?
You can go with either one. Your question is probably the number 1 asked question on Moz. LOL
I would do folders "if" creating a multi-lingual site. Let's take WordPress for example. 1 folder, 1 install, 2 languages, no multiple logins, 1 database.
For subdomains, there is no passing of PR. A subdomain is like having a brand new site. subdomain.example.com and example.com are completely different sites. The only reason I would run subdomains is if I am doing something where the "site search" algorithm will be tweaked a little... like craigslist.org. Every city has a subdomain and the algorithm may be just a little different. Maybe you may need a subdomain for security issues, but in general go with folders.
Also, the stronger example.com/english becomes, the more likely example.com/mandarin becomes. It shares link juice. This example doesn't happen when you use subdomains.
Hope that helps!

RE: What are some tips to increase twitter and facebook numbers on seomoz?
I don't understand the question. It sounds like you want SEOMOZ to rank higher. Are you trying to increase your Likes and Tweets so you can see them in OSE?

RE: What are your biggest focuses for Internet Marketing in 2012? New Year's Goal?
Hey Thomas! How you been? Here are my 3:
- Highly relevant content creation.
- Continue growing my Advanced Web Analytics strategy I learned from Avinash. Oh I forgot to tell you, I took his Analytics Ninja course.
- International SEO to reduce PPC costs.
If I could write a 4th, it would be schema.org.

RE: How do I correctly use YouTube?
Look at the annotations here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qc_hgpe6eA
You can put "Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Now" or something similar.
Some advice, don't think it's tacky to put this on your videos. They are free anyway.
By the way, I used to be like those guys in that video. Now I were a suit and lost the accent LOL.

RE: Which of these six keyword combinations would you go after?
Hotel Perth because adwords is showing the exact match while insights (i think) is showing broad match. My decision is based of exact match. This is only based off the information you have given
EDIT: I meant to say Hotels Perth.

RE: Keywords and content and seo advice please
I completely agree ESPECIALLY in this field regarding "Write for humans not search engines". But don't forget to put the keywords in the content.

RE: What are your biggest focuses for Internet Marketing in 2012? New Year's Goal?
I use GA more than ever now. To tell you the truth, I felt that I know a lot about internet marketing. Tips n Tricks no longer helped. Strategy was way more important. So I needed to come "full circle" in my internet marketing efforts. So now I can see most of my work's performance, whether good or poor, through advanced web analytics. The last thing left before I get my Market Motive Certification is passing the interview. I have to defend my Web Analytics Measurement Model in front of a panel (Avinash and John).
I had to make a custom dashboard for my website. I can email it to you so you can see my end result.

RE: Google Adwords Conversion Tracking Code Help - Not Showing Conversions
Normally it takes about 2 days for he conversions to populate in Google Adwords. I learned that the hard way. So if you are looking at yesterday's Adwords information, you will not see conversions. Your Google Analytics conversions have nothing to do with your Google Adwords conversions.

RE: How do you disallow HTTPS?
Why not just NO INDEX / NO FOLLOW the page? What is the reason behind this? Do you want Google not to index your https page? Duplicate content? All checkouts have https.

RE: What's an inexpensive way to maintain domain registration privacy?
I use Dreamhost and my domains are $10/yr whether or not there is Privacy or not. Just fill in whatever you need to in the fields if you need to or make it private. I have never had an issue with Dreamhost.

RE: Social Sharing Buttons: SEO friendly ?
I use Addthis on my site:
It shows in their analytics as well as GA. The only problem I had with them was that it was slow at 1st. Then I added a script to my header,and my pages started load FAST FAST FAST. I didn't know that Addthis was making them slow in the beginning. I have ass this on almost every page including the blog and a couple ecommerce sites of mine.

RE: Can I do a redirect to a new domain name only a couple of weeks after having redirected to another domain?
Watch the entire thing. Matt Cutts can answer your question better than anyone here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1lVPrYoBkA
Personally I would 301 BOTH old site to the new site. I would NOT daisy chain.
