Welcome to the Q&A Forum

No it will no be a problem. Even if the search results show duplicate content, to show a sample of pages is fine.

It sorts first on how many links the domain has to your site and then on domain authority.

Google are hoping to use rel=author as a ranking factor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgFb6Y-UJUI&feature=youtu.be&t=57s) I think that in the (near) future this will start playing a role, and the attribute will become a standard like nofollow is. If you trust your freelance writers, and think they'll be able to created a trusted, authoritative profile, go for it. If you're not sure about the quality of work they deliver elsewhere, for other clients, you might want to consider creating your own profile attached to your site, and use that as the author attribute. That way you'll have a bit more control.

Hi Micelleh, Ryan has given you a great answer here. There is also a really detailed post about getting into Google News from Cyrus Shepard in the SEOmoz Blog Sha

I have filed several DMCA reports against scraper sites that are scraping my original content (mainly original images that my community is creating and submitting) and those scraper sites are still getting a TON of traffic... Alexa rank less than 2000) and nothing has happened. Any suggestions as to what else I could do?

To specifically answer your question about the differences between WordTracker and the AdWords keyword tool, I examined the WordTracker site. I performed a keyword search for the phrase "depression and bipolar link". It showed 34 searches. To better understand what that result meant, I searched the site and located the following explanation: "For the Wordtracker data, the Search count is the number of times each keyword appears in our database of searches over the past 365 days. This constitutes just under 1% of all US search, and the data is gathered from metacrawler.com and dogpile.com." There are two key differences between AdWords data and WordTracker. AdWords clearly has a much larger data source so it should be more accurate. Also, AdWords data is presented based upon monthly searches, where WordTracker uses yearly searches. The AdWords result for "depression and bipolar link" would be 3 monthly searches. Since the result is less then 100, Google rounds the result to 0. You are reaching for very long tail phrases. You will capture other keywords and shorter phrases in the process. For example, while Adwords shows no traffic on "depression and bipolar link" the phrase "depression and bipolar" shows 165k monthly searches with medium competition. If I were to create a page, I would focus the article on "depression and bipolar". If you really wish to keep the focus on "depression and bipolar link", you can do such knowing you will capture traffic from other versions of the phrase.

I have heard great things about http://www.wildfireapp.com/ might fit your need?

You can combine them all into one line . The SEOmoz beginners guide has some info on it http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/search-engine-tools-and-services For what its worth using Meta Robots to restrict crawling is actually better than simply using a Robots.txt. Largely because a Robot will still see a page url if it is linked to from another source and those links can pass page rank, but the page will never pass any forward. -Phil

Hi Michelle, I think this might be best as a follow-on to the similar question you have in your thread at http://www.seomoz.org/q/how-to-get-videos-to-show-up-on-serps-as-your-own.

It probably would show under the 3rd Party Website. Unless you have specific reasons for not displaying it then I would embed it actually on the page as Google will reward engagement objects. I would surround the video with some good text content related to that Video.

Don't forget your video meta http://www.reelseo.com/add-infile-metadata-video-files/

Can you send the link? I see http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#predictions but don't see a break down of facebook vs twitter

This is basically a way for sites to try to control the performance hit of being crawled too often by the bots. I don't think its ever worked to get a site deemed unimportant by the engines crawled more often than they would otherwise. If your site is not getting slammed by bots (and if it is, you probably have bigger performance problems to go after first) then, like Ryan Kent said, there isn't much use for these.

Oh, and I just came across this http://www.sabahan.com/2007/08/06/find-out-how-many-subscribers-a-blog-has-even-when-its-feedcount-is-hidden/... if they're using FeedBurner, and if the blog owner has the FeedCount activated in his FeedBurner account, you'll be able to view the actual number by following the instructions given there.  The article is a bit old so I'm not sure if it'll work; I didn't try it myself.

You can try combining 2 tools to accomplish this, #1 use advanced search Queries like: Intext:"keyword" + "blog" to find blogs in your industry. #2 Then use a tool that mesures their rss subscribers.  Tool From Google | 3rd Party Tool Best of luck, -Bryant Jaquez

So, basically, we are thinking of putting all content related to one keyword in a subdirectory. Currently all content is in one main subdirectory. For example, url.com/un-related-subdirectory/tons of content to url.com/keyword/content-related-to-this-keyword.

There is no penalty at all  . on the contrary its a best practice while renovating your site or Reconstructing URLs is to use a 301 redirect to preserve the link equity to the new destination.. I added a video for your reference. watch?v=r1lVPrYoBkA

If you go to the human-readable version of the license, the attribution states: Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). Most of the time, people don't ever specify how they want to be attributed. Make it clear how you want it attributed, and you'll be helping both yourself and the end user.
