Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have done it both ways I really have not seen that one way is better then the other.  Just personal experience...

Think about whats best for users if its something they should read put up a news page.  It wont hurt

that jk was just kidding don't do that

go buy them.... jk

Work on good content... And other strategies depend on what type of website if you have a community take advantage of it.

that's why its important to be in the local top 10 make sure your local listing connects to your website right....

Then build the citations...  I think google is gonna push the local more and more

I usually find that blogs/newsites found through google news work better even though most are nofollow

Google Analytics First  than SEOMOZ subscription

Its better to have it inside the same domain www.totaldrivewaysne.co.uk/Patios/  that way any seo work can be applied to the domain authority otherwise you are doing 3x the seo work.

they do like more descriptive anchor text  good example

on my site i had dangerous drugs listed as just the name Example: "Topamax" had not done any seo to that page. it was on page 3 for "Topamax Lawyer" switching the menu anchor text to "Topamax Lawyer" made it jump to 2nd from the top

It only really works when you have only like 3 key words you are targeting if u are targeting 10+ than does not matter as much

panda was not last week...

If you have the man power to post quality content to the blogs it can only help I would not stop your blogger/wordpress blogs just to have it on your own domain

Domain authority is slightly like an average page rank on your whole site try to build up quality backlinks on pages that have a low page authority as well as continue to build domain popularity on social sites

if you do have over 100 links off the homepage you might want to consider deep linking some of the non important pages.

its not the worst thing to have pr3s on the second lvl but i have had 2nd lvl pages rank at the same lvl as the index

just update the page I have done it quite a few times in google places also try to update most of the main citations you have on the web

It looks like someone used a commenting bot on your site....  Not much you can do about it

so if it was not you or your seo company than probably a competitor

just disable javascript and you can see how the search engines see it they are just using java to create the motion those links are seen and followed by google

Well I think you should for sure get some pages on your website with the videos on them and a video sitemap setup.

A way to get them in the press release have a picture of what the video looks like with a url to your website.

Its cheap but if its a good video people won't bounce cause of it.

Just an idea

There are very few directories that are worth much anymore because they have so many external links the links are devalued I think you still might get some benefit from the few super popular directories like yahoo & dmoz.

Stick to paid.. or human verified

It will pass link juice.  But a sub-domain acts as its own domain so think of it as another domain.

I do not think it includes onpage optimization at least from what i have seen

Get some more content on the home page about emv cards than run some campaigns for backlinks like infographics or press releases you shoudl be able to get in the top 3
