Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Exact Match Domains do not perform well because they are an exact match. They perform well because they have an increased click through rate. There is nothing Google can ever do to fix this because it is user behavior. Their only option is to discount click through rate.

That is not going to happen.

I guess I might try that. I was concerned 40-50 links on an internal page (very internal = No PR) would kill that page and any chance of the internal pages ranking.

So if I can get google to come to an interior page, how deep will it dig. Perhaps I need to figure out how many times can I call google per month, then have that many interior pages that have a significant number of links that lead to additional static pages (each link) that are linked out as well.

Like a pyramid.  Google enters Interior Page (A). It's a static page (wordpress) that links 99 links that all link to 99 pages that link to 99 pages. Google would go about three in? I could get more indexed like this.

My page is linked well. It's dynamic content (real estate listings) that have hubs set up. There is a lot of pagination which is what I think google stops at. It enters subdivision "X" and there are 10 listings per page, paginated. There are 300 listings in that subdivision. I don't think google is going too far in to that subdivisions listings page. I need to understand google indexing better.

I invite more participants.  Thank you Dana. I need more info all   Help!

I have 15k+ pages. I have 4.5k pages indexed.

What relation is the google cashe to indexing pages? My site gets cashed every two days. The competition in my SERP goes 2-3weeks to get cashed. What does this indicate? Is your cashe date your last google crawl?

How can I get google to crawl my site? Is there a way I can get google to crawl my site starting from an internal page. This way I could set up a better linking structure that would benefit from doing activities that get that page indexed to help get my site indexed more thoroughly...

Is it possible to buy old sites that no longer have a site up that has a high PR? Can I just put up another site about anything I want and rank well for it?

I see that my link profile (anchor text) will not support my on site SEO. However, could I link to another site and pass page rank with this tactic?

Please discuss... Especially those doing this...

Link bait does not work in my industry. The average real estate agent is in their fifties. They never share/like/link to any content. Most of their sites are html tables. No link I would earn would come from a source with similar content.

There are almost NO agents with PR over 1.

Where can I get the best backlinks for Real Estate?

I don't care if it is paid/unpaid. As long as it's not the kind of paid link Google would go after. Paid directories are A OK.

Thank you! I hate when people try to obfuscate SEO.

If I relied on kick ass business and natural link building no one would pay me $100 an hour. Probably because they would be 30k in the hole before they hit front page.

I do however lean away from explaining my practice to clients. I don't want them to replace me, right? I am transparent and above board, but I don't explain the process...

Francisco is giving one of those partial truths. I am sure it was intended to confuse the poster in thinking, I am doing that and getting no where! Perhaps I will pay this guy that knows how to do what I do better...

Can I access the SEOMOZ forums/blogs with a free account?

Is it unwise to link internally to a page more than once on the homepage. I am reading that it is considered spammy. I am also reading that it passes PR twice to the internal page instead of just once...

Which is it?

Is there a way to stop passing PR to the "contact us" page. I watched an older video that Matt Cutts suggested a nofollow. Now I read that this strategy is a no no?

Which is it?

Thanks!

Who has had dealing with Rip Off Report.com

They posted a "rip off report" about my client. At the top of the site it has a banner to hire an SEO that can get rid of this "negative online reputation."

Black Hat?

Facebook says roughly 12% of your friends see your posts.

Facebook has privacy settings. Naturally the setting is "public." If you change the setting from public to "Selected List," do you think more of that group of people will get the message?

If your public setting has 1,000 friends, and the list contains 200 people, do you think it will generate the post to 12% of the list?

Is there anyone interested in testing this? It would make a GREAT blog post! I would certainly read it.

If you have any tips to help hit more people on Facebook let me hear it please!

I noticed another SEO builds backlinks (tons) on a social media profile that then has a link to his client's site. Another site he builds backlinks are a bitly account that 301's to the clients account.

Why would you do this?

Is it that you can build links indiscriminately to build a page up in PR to 3-4-5 PR, then pass that higher PR to your site (safe). Is that PR building method better than placing 100's of smaller PR links on your site?

It seems logical that if you passed in a tremendous amount of juice to juice a site up to PR4, you won't make your main site PR4 by JUST that link. You would need to build a lot of PR4 sites to make your site PR4. Why not just put all the backlinks on the main page instead of building up secondary social profiles etc...

Please reveal this secret. I know a lot of SEOs are using this method. Help

I never see links from internal pages linking back to the main page.

I see internal pages linking to other internal pages. I don't normally see people targeting their root domain with links from internal pages. Is this bad practice? It goes to reason if the main pages passes link juice to six secondary pages that it would be good practice to pass it back.

The navigation bar has "home" on it. Does that imply that every page on the site passes juice to "home" and every link on the navigation bar? Does that then mean that it's good practice to have a good number of links on the navigation bar to spread link juice from the entire site back to those specific links? So each link on the navigation bar should be a page I am trying to rank for a keyword.

My site has 10k pages indexed. Mostly real estate listings. The pages are all PR0 so likely pass nothing along to the navigation bar links...

A good practice would be to chose all the pages in my navigation bar and SEO each one. Get each internal page on the nav. bar to a good PR so it passes it's link juice to all the other pages on the navigation bar and back home. Right? The navigation bar should be links to all pages you want to rank highly for because you can (with above strategy) rank them well together by ensuring a good few internal links.

I do a lot of blogging. I get back links that way (duh). When I go on a blog and make a post, I should make a comment using my root domain. The next time I comment on the site use one of the internal pages on my nav bar, then another one. This way one site is feeding link juice to each of my internal pages which then feed my other internal pages/home. Right?

Main point: I won't get a huge return for getting 10 links from one site. Each will pass juice but it will devalue in volume; however, I can get 10 links from that domain to 10 different internal pages at no devalue then pass link juice from those internal pages at no loss.  Right?

I am trying to figure out internal linking. Please help me.

Your "root domain" (the top level example.com) is the easiest to rank on a SERP. When you build Page Rank on this page, you want to make sure the majority of the PR goes into internal pages that matter. To do this you determine what internal pages are most important and put them on the menu bar. You then link to these pages in the body text, or via side bars. This will ensure that the PR is flowing from the root domain into the internal pages multiple times.

The second part is to link from these secondary pages back to the main page. Correct? When you build back links on the internal page, you want to pass the PR back to the main page...

Please discuss this...

If you rank on google places, I have noticed that you do not rank on the front page as well. I have a site that ranks on front page for it's keywords; however, because they are (1) on google places, they don't show up when someone is localized to that area. They show up on google places but not on front page. If you turn of localization, they are first in serps.

How can I get around this?

Two separate sites? One for Google+ (Places) and one for SERPS?

Can't you use google analytics to determine people are coming to your site?

Is there a tool to tell me my exact SERP?

I am trying to find a company on google. I have looked through hundreds of pages. Is there a tool to tell me exactly where it is currently ranked for a particular keyword?

Why do people use bitly? I thought it was just a way to share a link on twitter if the link was too long in url.

I see SeoMoz shares all their content with a bitly link. Even when they share it on Google+. Why?
