Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Let me tell you this from what I seen. I just moved a website from /store/ to root about 3 weeks ago and google still has all of the OLD /store/ links in the search engines however all of the serp results have / in them. So it's like it didn't update its index for 3 weeks. I have never done anything like this before so I am wondering the same thing.

That's a good question. I don't know how any of you other pros out there handle article marketing but I switch it up a little. I use different anchor text for each submission..

I never really thought about it like this. Good question Sammy! I'm interested in seeing what other people here have to say.

yea, sometimes it happens. I noticed that he caches data too. For example a site used to have stuff in /store/ but later it was 301'd to root and for the longest time it would give me a alert ( it looks like this page redirects to /store/ do you want to look there instead? It would be so annoying but I learned to deal with it.

Hmm - if you did 50 per week for 2 weeks then did 100 for 3 weeks and 150 for 4 weeks then you wont be looked at as spammy. Think of this: when do you think those links will get indexed anyway? It's best to keep a chart of what you did each day and come back and check to see if it's there or not. ( like blog commenting )

If you are doing blog commenting them maybe you can subscribe to responses as well. But like EGOL said: natural. As long as you're not using software to build links then you will be fine. The question is: How many links CAN you build a day?

this is always not the best answer. I've seen cases where the click has too many pages and it takes a long time to get to a product. A lot of the products too are similar so I combined a lot of parts together and hes getting 67% higher ctr and 3x more sales and phone calls.

Do you have any case studies that measure how much it helps when you have a feed updated everyday? I like your answer.

• In google webmaster tools you would need to verify the domain.
• Get a list of similar pages your website has with the other one you want to buy.
• 301 all of the pages to a similar page on your existing website.
• Tell google you did so in webmaster tools.

The reason you want to 301 these pages is because you want to rank for those as well and you dont want all of the people finding links on the web and being redirected to your home page. The authority will happen over time.

Yea I never heard of Advanced Web Ranking so I'm downloading it now. I use Market Samurai to monitor keywords so I dont know how different it is.

What I would like to find is a way I can set different competitors for different labels of keywords. For example:

If I'm selling car parts and I have a set of competitors for  the keyword: Honda Performance Parts

And 30 different other keywords. However if I also want to rank for Mazda Performance Parts and any kind of sets like that.. I may have different competitors for that kind of list.

but it's still user friendly.

I use rackspace | cloud sites. Is there a way I can request to have a domain pushed to a pool you have in UK or CA for example?

very good and well thought out answer.

Yes -- I actually just got done reverting back from HTTPS -> HTTP because of the handshake. Think about this.

• How many images does the page have? All of your images need to have SSL.
• How many styles and external style sheets? All of your style sheets need to have SSL
• Does all of the sites you link to have SSL as well? I found that if I link something it can sometimes red flag that there are elements in the page that are not secure.

It's a lot of work and a lot of maintenance and at the end: the visitor gets frustrated and leaves. Even if you are at rackspace and you have a dedicated SSL proxy server with load bouncers and it auto scales. The clients browser still needs to form a relationship with the SSL certificate for all of the images/scripts on your page.

Im not sure how you will handle 301 without access to IIS itself. Is there a reason why you want IIS7? If you can run apache with "classic asp" then would that work for you:

I personally use rackspace. If you know how to install everything then the cloud sites with 1GB of rank would do good for you which runs about 50 bucks a month.
