Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A part what the others wrote, I would not recommend to redirect the old penalized websites (if they were penalized) to the new domain, because the penalization will be transferred to it. What I'd do was to update the good backlinks from the old EMDs to the new domain, asking the owners of the "good" sites to do it.

You have answered many questions I wasn't even sure I was asking!  Thank you for being clear and detailed, so many great people at Moz!

Hi MyOwnSEO, Absolutely, there are a couple ways you can do that. Create an Advanced Segment You can create an advanced segment which filters out any results coming from a certain keyword. Since you know that keyword is currently being abused, I would exclude that traffic from your reports. Used the Advanced Filter Go to the report you want to view. Then click on the 'advanced' link next to the tiny search box directly above the table of data. Now set an Exclude rule to filter out any of the results you wish, based on dimensions / metrics of the report you are viewing.

You'd want to decide pages based on how to best optimize for keyword searches. If you find more people search for drug possession than marijuana or cocaine possession, then it would be better to condense all of that info under one page. It really all depends on what is going to net you the most opportunity. You could have one umbrella page for drug charges and then a couple of sub pages with details on each type of possession charge. Beef up your content with info about potential sentencing/outcomes, what to expect during the trial, etc. That will help you capture additional long tail searches as well.

Hi there, Thanks for reaching out! Once uploaded, validated, and purchased, we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes eight weeks. The only time we won't push a listing through to one of our partners is if you have a paid account with them already. Otherwise, we update any existing listing that you have with them. We won't create any duplicate listings, so you'll be safe there. If we do find a potential duplicate, we list them out and direct you on where you need to go to fix them. Outside of that, you're welcome to use you Check Listing feature ( http://moz.com/local/search ) to see what areas could be improved for listings outside of our partnership network. Hope this helps and have a great day!

It really isn't that important, we are brick and mortar (law firm actually) and are launching kind of a social grand opening in the next month, so I was just curious to see if our FB page started generating any direct conversions.  You are right about tracking a different phone number, I have worked really hard to make our web presence consistent and do not want to jeopardize that in any way. Thanks everyone for your feedback!!

That does help David, thanks.  I guess I just need to curb my desire to micromanage.
