Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This is an excellent idea, especially in the wake of the Hummingbird, which attunes Google to conversational queries!

Peter's resource is great! And you might find inspiration - and some catchy headlines here:

Good luck!

Yes, I thought that's what you meant ... thanks!

Could you say more about what kind of link building you plan to do? I can't imagine that you need a landing page, unless you want to track the traffic from the campaign and/or the links obtained ...  then a landing page would make sense.

The robots.txt file DOES contain

User-agent: Msnbot
Crawl-delay: 120
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*?*
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*.rss
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*feed
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*trackback
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*wp-
Disallow: /key-west-blog/*login.php
Disallow: /key-west-blog/tag/
Disallow: /key-west-blog/search/
Disallow: /key-west-blog/archives/
Disallow: /key-west-blog/category/
Disallow: /key-west-blog/2009
Disallow: /key-west-blog/2010

But you are saying I should remove the lines with noindex? 

The SEOMoz crawl tool is telling me that I have a slew of crawl errors on the blog of one domain. All are related to the MSNbot. And related to trackbacks (which we do want to block, right?) and attachments (makes sense to block those, too) ... any idea why these are crawl issues with MSNbot and not Google? My robots.txt is here: http://www.wevegotthekeys.com/robots.txt.

Thanks, MJ

I love SproutSocial, but the only other Twitter platform I've tried was Tweetdeck. I might never have looked beyond, but TD stopped working on my desktop and it wouldn't uninstall correctly ...blah blah.

I've used Sprout for a while now, and love a lot of the features. The ability to post to Facebook or not for any give post is nice ... and I like the clean up feature. Search tools are great and I find it easy to find new folks to follow.

I played with it a little last year, but I didn't make any connections for link exchanges. It hadn't occurred to me to use it like that ... I do like to exchange with highly relevant, quality sites ... shhh, don't tell. ;D.

What keywords are you already targeting?

I assume your title tag should give me a clue:

Changing Limiting Beliefs | Belief Change | Create the Life You Want | Practical Skills to get what you want"

And are you already using Google's keyword tool? If so, and you are targeting changing limiting beliefs, Google's tool offers these:

How about 'law of attraction' and that related group of phrases?

I don't believe they have any SEO  value in Google (or elsewhere). Why would they? The Open Graph tags are used to control how a link appears in Facebook when a page is shared or liked there. So they have a value in FB, but none in search engines to the best of my knowledge.

Christopher is correct; the link juice is divided between all the links on the page whether the links have the nofollow attribute is lost. So, the suggestion that you can tell Google where to send the link juice (called PageRank sculpting) is erroneous.

You can block those pages from being crawled and indexed via your robots text, but again, it will not mean more link juice is passed to the crawled pages.

The concept of "too many links" was fostered by A Google Webmaster Guideline of some years ago that advised against more than 100 links on a page. Google warned that not all links were likely to be crawled if there were so many.

Google now says that is no longer an issue. However, that many links on a page can present an issue with usability for your site visitors and that should be your guiding light on the number  of links per page.

Bruce Clay's site is a great place to start.: https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=silo+site:bruceclay.com&pbx=1&oq=silo+site:bruceclay.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=11392l11854l8l12152l3l3l0l0l0l0l160l403l1.2l3l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=27bb19e28ec96caa&biw=1333&bih=624

I am inclined to lead toward some type of siloing with a high content site. There is the very purest silo architecture which I feel Bruce Clay presents very clearly in his site articles. You can certainly vary it to be less rigid and still be an effective SEO tool.

I generally agree that MOST content should not be too many clicks from the home page, but drop down menus can go a long way to keep a lot of content close without it being unwieldy. Perhaps it will help to look at it this way: the way your structure your navigation tells Google what you believe your most important pages are - if you tell them ALL your pages are equally important, you dilute the ability of your top pages to rank better than your lesser pages.

If that makes sense to you, I hope it helps.

301 redirects are the very best way to redirect and retain the most link power. Within the site, you have nothing to worry about if your new structure has better SEO. 301 redirects do not always pass 100% of external bank link juice, but it's still the best tool we have to keep what we have already achieved.

Agreed. It's called the web for a reason - a web of links. To my way of thinking, when I link out I am saying to Google: this is my neighborhood, and I am linking to it.

It shouldn't; search engines can isolate strings without separators. However, how many people do you think actually type 'girls pink yoga capri' or are you just being hypothetical?

Okay. That page has quite a few links .... a quick count says 91 .... but many are nested in menus so I don't see a problem from a user standpoint. Of course, if you are hoping this post and others like it will help boost the SEO of other posts, then I would say you are diluting any power it might have.

Without addressing your specifics, I can guess yes based on my experience with campaigns in one of my client's Adwords account. In talking with an adwords rep about an issue with one campaign, he repeatedly referred to the influence of a separate campaign within the same account.

May I suggest you call an Adwords rep yourself and inquire directly about the problem?

I don't see enough information to answer you; but it might help you to know that, traditionally, more than 100 links was considered too many. More than 100 links is now okay, but only (IMO) if it really benefits the user.

I have never heard that - and I have never experienced it on my sites or those I manage. On the contrary; I think it helps rank a site for a phrase. I do know some people are afraid of linking out, but I am not. When I link out with my target text, one of the messages I am sending Google is " this is my neighborhood, and I am linking to it."

I don't think you will have trouble getting your articles accepted within the directories if you are writing unique, quality content. Ezinearticles.com is probably the best know. I have also used morestar.ca; it's a nice PR4 article directory. I do find most of them are a little too full of 'how to whiten your teeth" articles, but if YOur article is read and gets picked up and syndicated, that's all that matters, right? I would try ezinearticles.com first.
