Hello Everybody,

We are an ERP company and want to get into social media marketing. We have decided to use Google+ over Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. Any ideas what we can do besides regular updates and getting our clients link to us?

Hi,

We participated in an event and it is now over and therefore it has to be removed now. I was thinking of writing a blog post about the event and place a 301 redirect on the page enlisting the event's detail and registration process.

Would it be a good idea or should I do something else?

Hi Bob,

Carla is right. Also, you can check the service provided by http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/. We have used this service with good success rate.

It says, "Gateway aliases..." So you will still be on myblog.ABCD.com and therefore the situation remains same.

The best option is to purchase the domain and hosting service and continue with the blog.

examlpe.html and example with the same content will be treated as duplicate pages. The best practice is to 301 redirect example.html to example.

Which MOZ tool can I use to conduct the keyword research?

http://www.optiproerp.com/products.aspx page is not indexed in Google but still has a PageRank of 1. How?

Thanks! It worked. But there is a slight correction in the above code. The word "refresh" will be within double quotes.

Hi,

I have to rename many pdf and docx files. How can I implement 301 redirect on them as they are linked from 'n' number of places?

Url? It happens when majority of the backlinks point to the Home page and are not evenly distributed throughout the website.

Hi Bill,

This tactic used to be a favorite one for the SEO guys but now it has faded. Matt Cutts, in one of the Google Webmaster Central videos said that doing such arrangement has no problem with Google but doing it on a very large scale may attract the attention of his team who continuously fight with spam.

I personally suggest that it should be done only:

1. if you are big business house and believe that name squatting could pose danger to your business.
2. Buying and redirecting the different generic TLD of your main domain is fine. E.g. I own mysite.com then it's okay for me to buy mysite.org also and redirect it to the .com version.

Simply buying number of business related domains and redirecting them to the main domain does not helps.

Make sure to add the most relevant keywords as your tags. Obviously they are the keywords used in the post or synonyms

I completely agree with Alan's views. Use of Canonical tags is most preferable.

You should add tags related to your post or keywords used in it. Having 3-5 tags per post is sufficient.

Firstly, you don't need to write index,follow on normal pages. Secondly, as you say, "no longer showing in Google SERPs", this means that it was earlier indexed, right? Now if it is no longer in Google's index, it means penalization. Please give the url of your website.

My personal view is that directory listings don't help if they are not from very reputable and topical ones. Even if they are, their affect is very low. However, most of the paid listings are no-follow because in case Google detects link buying to affect PageRank, it penalize the buyer as well as the seller.
