Thank you for your time and viewing this post!

I just received my invitation to Pintrest that I have been dying to get, and I am not sure how to go about using it effectively. My ultimate goal would be to use it to advertise my employers products, but at the same time I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Does anyone have any experience they would care to share?

I could be blind or weary from slaying dragons but it appears the your Canonical link is not even in place to resolve this burden placed upon you good sir.

Here is an Example of what the source with a canonical link looks like.

Hello David, my company that I work for has/had several Ebay accounts for different websites and one thing I always noticed is that when we linked our site, or the corresponding product in the listing it would hold power when searching for it. In other words Some of my listing that I put up that really never sold, I would make sure they were heavily optimized and would usually show up in search results. I also noticed that our on site sales would increase when I did this because customers would view our website after looking at the listing which lead to more browsing/buying. But as you said they dissapear after 90 days, and the selling items go away rather fast so it does become somewhat null in purpose.  So it comes to a personal choice good sir, good luck on your quest for Page 1!

Cannonical Linking is the best way to go!

For your conundrum in Example B with the Calvin Green I would find out which URL version is dominant or has the most link juice and structure the redirects to that links. For instance, let us say [http://www.expressgolf.co.uk/shop/clothing/galvin-green/] is the dominant link I would have the copy urls pointing back to that one like so

I manage an Ecommerce Site as well, I had the same issue with the categories and what I basically did the same thing for each level of my site, categories that have the url ending in /1, /2, /3 and so on I would redirect to the first page to make that Url stronger.

Practically think about what Noindexing or Nofollowing would do, you would lose so much link power that you could harness, With redirects you can focus this power in a more effective manner.

Also I was snooping and clicked Golf Clubs which took me to this URL

expressgolf.co .uk/shop/clubs

Made me realize that you had "clubs" at the end, I would put Golf Clubs because when you do a keyword search for Clubs, Bars come up. Putting a Keyword in the URL can greatly enhance that URL. Just a tip if you want to utilize it or not friend ^.^.

Good luck on your quest for Page 1!

Thank you Keri!

however those are the terms my employers are looking for which is why I posted with that description. Thank you for the reading material though it was very informative!

That would not go over well with my employer, he would probably have a medical condition after that statement.

I have given this issue a large amount of thought and the best solution I can think of, is something of the nature of Klout score will be used to determine social Authority.  I feel that in the very near future Google will start analyzing social aspects and judge activity, audience, and things of that nature to balance out the social spam. This is just my theory on the situation, but I feel it would be very effective, because the other day I saw a G+ account with nothing but keywords in the description and a link to the website that showed up page 1 rank 1 for a keyword set. Like I said these are just my theories on how it will be handled in the future, Good luck on your quest Sir Ilya of Elbert!

Fear not, you showed up to me on Page 8, for Google India.

Possibly you could have taken a Panda update hit. Practice patience and see what happens over the next few weeks and see if your ranking decreases or increases. Either that or the changes you made affected your rankings and Google moved you down.

With both assumptions you need to wait and see what exactly happens. If you continue to dance Google is trying to find a place for you, if you sit at that spot, then you need to figure out what brought you down and change it.

Good luck on your quest for page one!

Wicked answer.

All Admins have equal power, there is no overlord Admin that has supreme power.  The best thing to do is vigilance in monitoring admins, and giving it to responsible people. Good luck on you Social excursions!

What Sorcery is this?

Greetings Champions!

There really isn't any type of SEO training in all honesty. I read a post some time ago that to be a great SEO one has to want to be better. Justin Briggs uses the term "hustle" alot, and he often talks about being motivated with his work and that is the source of his skill. You have to have the curiosity to learn and dig for the information. Visit SEOMoz daily and read the blog posts, watch the WBF's go on Google and do your own experiments and see how the search engine works and before you know it, you will begin to understand how it all works. Good luck with your training and your quest for page 1!

There was an exceptional post about scouring the lands for opportunities to guest blog or things of that nature however it appears to elude my reach. However guest blogging opportunities are EVERYWHERE! Literally everywhere! Go on Twitter and type in Guest blog, Guest Writer, Guest content and you will see a multitude of people in need of your blogging prowess. Search on Google for Guest Blogging:Keyword(<--for whatever industry,niche it is). One has to search hard for the gems. I'm sorry I didn't provide you with any immediate bounty or treasure, however using social media or smart searching will remove the shroud that covers what you seek. Good luck on your quest for page 1!

Sir Thomas is correct, Wikipedia is a non profit organization and can not help profiting companies in that manner. If you notice companies like Dell, and IBM have pages because of their historical significance. I also thought this would be awesome and tried it, with the same results even after a lengthy talk with a mod. Good luck on your quests for Page 1!
