Not sure which url to use for backlinks
This is the current flow of redirects: 1. northamericahvac.com -> (301) -> 2. www.northamericahvac.com -> (301) -> 3. http://www.northamericahvac.com/servlet/StoreFront Assuming you can't fix the /storefront redirect, I would point the links to the www domain (number 2 URL) as that's your canonical domain (the non-www domain redirects to it). It's nicer to look at and there's less chance the URLs in backlinks will be spelt incorrectly than if you were linking to /storefront (number 3 URL). It's also likely to be the domain you will end up with once you fix the platform issue. In practice I'm not sure it really matters which domain you point to, as your 301s are set up properly and your /storefront URL will be appearing in SERPs as it is. If you did migrate from the number 3 URL to the number 2 URL in future then you would have to set up a 301 in the reverse direction anyway. George @methodicalweb

Moz analytics not updating
Is this related? I archived a campaign and created a new one a couple of days ago. The new one is still not in Moz Analytics...and that is the one I so need to set up Mentions queries for. Any ideas? Love the Analytics! And want to use it! Thanks! UPDATE: Thanks! I submitted a ticket as suggested.

Difference in Forum and Blog for SEO
I personally like the inbound link aspect of blogs as well as google authorship. You can also use guest bloggers to expand your audience.

Google keywords
There isn't a fixed, known answer to your question, but perhaps I can offer some guidelines. First off, repeating your keyword over and over on the page is very unlikely to fool Google any more, and boost your ranking. On a page with 1000 words, it might be natural to see the primary term the page is about repeated a dozen or so times; if it appears 100+ times, Google is very unlikely to decide that makes the page MORE relevant for that term, and more likely, Google will see that as an indicator of spam. My advice: write naturally, and don't try to inject the keywords...just make sure they appear once or twice. In page titles, the answer is in the SERPs themselves. Do a search for a reasonably competitive term, e.g. "Nikon D5200". None of the page 1 results have the term in the page title more than once.
