seo for google places is done by building citations and organic local seo is done by building your brand in your local community, and earning links to your website. google ranks google places and the local organic section on local links and citations. You should be able to rank for both
As suggested in the above comment you can get to your htaccess file in yoast or you can also get to it manually on your server.
IMO The best way to earn links is by building quality content on your own site and get industry related people to link to it. I would look for the best social media outlets for your niche. You can also look for industry related blogs, interact and win.
If you no follow the link you should be fine. Googles looks at too many internal follow links on a page as an overoptimization (manipulation) attempt.
If you download the app and follow the instructions in that article you should be just fine, don't be intimated and if you have any more questions while you are setting up your Yoast account ask them here and someone will help you out 
There are several tools available to in wordpress. I use Yoast, it is a great tool. Here is a good aticle that will help you set up the tool and understand how wordpress works: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
Sorry about that I miss read the question completely 
perhaps you can do some A/B testing on the Food Container for Dogs page**.**
The other pages that are converting well, do they look similar? do the offer anything different?
I would test the page to see if the traffic that is coming in is finding what they are looking for.
If you do take down a page you can do a 301 redirect and transfer link juice.
Hi Haviv,
If you want to find the keyword volume for a term you can use Google Adwords Keyword tool to find the volume of searches for your keyword phrases. Be sure to check the box on the left to exact.
Hope this helps.
There is no timeline, it takes time for your site to become trustworthy. Depending on the competition level and how you develop your site and market your brand will determine these results.
Hope this helps.
I would use google's keyword tool to find searches that have volume. Be sure to check the exact box on the left.
Once you have the terms use seomoz on page report card tool to target 1-2 keywords per page.
In order to rank for all of your keywords you need to earn branded links to your site. There are tons of articles in the seomoz blog which will help you achieve results.
Use Hyphens, people are already accustomed to using them for URLs.
I'm a bit skeptical of using bit.ly. When someone does a 301 redirect some of the link juice gets lost, not ,much but some. Using a shortner will 301 the user. As Alan stated bit.ly is great for tracking and keeping your tweets within character limit.
Please don't quote me on this but Google has their own shortner goo.gl, perhaps Google's shortner will pass all the juice...
According to most tools it is best to place your keywords closer to the beginning of your title. I always use keyword | Brand. It will display nicely on the SERP, and users like that.
Hi Cary,
You must clean up your anchor text, looks like you have tons of links anchoring in as "
| <a class="clickable title link-pivot" title="See top linking pages that use this anchor text">limo buses san diego"</a> | 176 | ** 320** |
http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.aallinlimos.com
A recommended link ratio is 7:3. 7 being Branded 3 being diverse, exact, and long tail.
It would probably be best to contact all these sites and ask them to change the anchor to your brand name. That is if the site is not spaming/overoptimizing and has a clean link profile. Make sure to keep track of your work.
If the above does not help, or you cannot get these anchors/links removed.
After a few weeks (IMO 12 weeks) send Google everything you have done in a reconsideration request.
During this time you can still build good branded links.
Hope this helps.
Hi Chanel,
Yes, many tips : )
If you are working on getting local listings on Google places you will need to build citations.
A citation is your Name Address and phone number. Every citation must match the info you placed on your Google local page.
I would recommend starting off by listing your site in good directories that have relevant categories and then earning citations from local web sites(http://searchengineland.com/where-to-get-citations-for-local-seo-105667). This will require off line work such as sponsoring something locally and getting a citation on the site.
here is a good webinar on the topic http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/you-probably-think-this-citation-source-is-about-you-dont-you
Hope this helps.
HI mGordon,
I would use the Company name which happens to be exact. During a recent update many sites were affected by what Google called a Exact Match Domain Devaluation, however I recall reading something from Dr.Pete (seomoz staff guru) that this was not the case, and more sites that had Part Match Domains were hit by the algo change. I know of a site that fell with a domain that had Company[Exact Keyword].
As long as your company name and your keyword are exact I don't think Google will not punish your site. Also if you focus primarily on earning relevant links with your contents you will indicate to Google that your site has trustworthy documents in its index.
Hi Shay, If the content on both pages are vary similar it might get picked up as duplicate content. You can add a conical tag to one of the pages letting the spiders know that these pages are all similar. The other option is to no index the page. Good luck.
Hi Damien,
It might be you robot.txt file
If so this will help:http://www.seomoz.org/q/robots-txt-is-blocking-wordpress-pages-from-googlebot
Is the video on your site or on an external like youtube?
If the video is on youtube then SEOmoz will not relate it to your URL.
Also, the videos might be pulling from Google's Video SERP(http://www.google.com/videohp?hl=en), if this is the case, I don't think SEOmoz is crawling these pages and it will not show up.
