Thanks. Because especially in the current situation with the Google updates, it would be good to know when our site URLs were last spidered and when the update appeared in Google's indexed.
Rather than having to check manually.

I would if at all possible adhere to the guidelines as set by for example Google, that they recommend that all title tags are 70 characters or less.
Those sites currently ranking with a longer title tag might find in the future a slight search tweak in Google's algorithm would affect their ranking.
A link to the sitemap would help.
Does SEOMoz in the future plan to report on Bot visits for each URL, when they are spidered and when they appear in for example Google's index ?
Yes, maybe in the case of a hotel name. But for Chinese language, they translate the word for example "London Hotels" to their equivalent.
So for area pages it might be worthwhile. Other top ranking companies e.g TripAdvisor do not translate the folder name at all. Just change the domain TLD.
Thoughts ?
OK, what advantages if in the future we decide to move the site to the local region e.g Asia ?
Hi
We are in the process of getting our .com (English) website translated to Chinese. My question is, what are the pitfulls if the site is hosted on the SAME server as the English version.
So the server would host both .com and .com.cn versions
Thoughts ??
Thanks

Thanks just the answer I was looking for !
Looking at integrating our GA account with the seomoz Organic Traffic Data feature. Can anyone let me know feedback regards this ?
No a custom written CMS, so it should be fairly easy to code.
If it's a total overhaul with new URLs, then you MUST use 301 Permanent Redirects for all the old URLs. However, if it is a features overhaul, I'd update gradually to ensure your rankings don't drop.
From my experience, I would start to create and add some valued content on your site. Register a Twitter/Facebook account relating to your website, and post any site updates/new pages via these two channels.
In addition, create a sitemap (keep it up to date), and submit via the Google Webmaster Tools console. Your site will soon become indexed in Google. Your next step and more harder step is to gain valuable links to your site.
Regarding the targeting of long tail keywords, since this is much easier - this is something I'd suggest you try first.
Good luck !
