Google says Geolocation Redirects Are Okay - is this really ok ?
Yes it will cause a problem if you just do it in such a basic way. Google crawl from numerous data-centres, based in different countries. As such, Googlebot will crawl from different places and will keep thinking different areas of your site are going up and down all the time. The remedy of course, is to exempt Googlebot (user-agent) from your redirects

Facing problems in baidu webmaster installation
Hi Gopi, I think that you're unable to verify a site on baidu unless it's registered in China and has a .cn domain. Let me know how it goes! I'm interested in baidu optimization as well, but there isn't too much information available online so far. (In English anyway!)

Is there any way to protect brand (brand protection ) using SEO
If your site is strong, and dominates the search results, people will try to steal your content. But if your site is strong, you will easily beat them when they steal from you. You'll be on page one, they'll be on page twenty. So, the solution is to make your site as strong as possible.

Is it possible to have organization markup schema for sub domain ? and how should it look like ?
An organization can have multiple brands and websites. If the subdomain is home to a different organization than the root or www. domain you should use the subdomain URL and org name. If it's the same organization, but a different brand, you would use the top level domain and org name. Make sense?

How to get more keyword ideas
Hey Gopi, What you're looking for are LSI and related keywords as well as regularly searched questions. I've been doing a keyword research task recently so here's a big list for you, based on what I've been using: **Google AdWords Keyword Planner - **https://adwords.google.co.uk/KeywordPlanner The AdWords keyword planner is the usual starting place for me - you can check out exact match search volumes and also get ideas for new keywords based on your original seed keyword. Bear in mind that they've updated this recently so keyword variations and their respective search volumes are often grouped together which can be a little troublesome. Keyword Tool - http://keywordtool.io/ Keywordtool allows you to do much the same as keyword planner but for YouTube, Bing, Amazon and App Store searches. The results can sometimes be a little limiting in the free version but it's a great way of topping up your original keyword research. Answer The Public - http://answerthepublic.com/ This might be more what you're looking for - Answer the Public allows you to enter a seed keyword and it comes back with the popular 'where/what/how/when/why' keyword strings that users have been searching, based upon your keyword of choice. It's also got a good CSV export functionality for getting data out quickly Moz Keyword Explorer - https://moz.com/products/pro/keyword-explorer Then of course there's the Moz Keyword Explorer which gives keyword suggestions, SERP analysis, estimated search volumes and opportunity scores for a whole bunch of keywords. I hope this helps! Sean

Ways to fetch search analytics - historical search query data from Google Search Console
Hi Gopi, What you're looking for is the Google Search Console API: https://developers.google.com/webmaster-tools/Once installed it will save the data also after the 90 days. So like Gaston mentions it is not possible to get older data but once you have this API running it will give you the data in the future from the moment it is installed. Good luck! Tymen

Which is the best youtube keyword tool ?
This tool mentioned above is currently out of commission "As of September 2014 YouTube's own Keyword Tool is not working anymore. It was moved over to Display Planner's AdWords video keyword suggestions." You need to have an adwords account to use this alternative.. Videos can be ranked for keywords as well..Personally i use standard keyword tools to do "Keyword Research" And will optimize video publications just as i would a webpage. Has worked in the past i still have video ranking for very competitive keywords.

How to Calculate SEO ROI for a knowledgebase or support portal
In general the ROI (Return Of Investment) is calculated as (gain of investment - cost of investment)/cost of investment, which gives a good measure of what you get compared to what you spend. As you probably already know, the higher ROI the better. In your case, you have a knowledge database for computer problems solving. As you also note in your question, you don't do any marketing activity, therefore there is no straightforward way to measure the gain of the investment. One key point to mention is the buying cycle which explains the 5 steps to convert your site visitor to a customer. Aw****areness: Through your SEO people find your website and get to know about your products and your services. R****esearch: After getting on your site, people can search for more information about your product/service, and refine their search. Preference: This step contains the process of making the final choice and the confirmation of it. Purchase: Now that the final choice is made, the visitor can be converted to an actual customer. Loyalty/advocacy:.After the purchase, we expect a satisfied customer that will come back to the site, and search for other products/services that are provided. The last step takes us back to the first one, as we make a customer aware of more products. As you can see, the key point is the marketing, that you make people know what you "make" and try to convince them that they need it. That is the main aspect of ROI. On the other hand, I noticed that you don't have anything related to the social media (facebook like and share, tweet, etc). That is the best tool in our days to attract people and let them know what you can provide. In fact it is also a very good way to boost your ROI. Even in your case, it would be imperative to have people to able to share their experience on your site, for example: "I was very satisfied by this article" along with a link of a solution shared on facebook or after contacting your live support to share that "The article didn't work for me, but they have a great online live support!". This will bring more people on your site searching for answers and/or solutions.

SEO benefits of linking logo to homepage?
[What are the] SEO benefits of linking logo to homepage? It depends on the site. Take a look at: www.vzw.com. Notice their logo in the main navigation bar? This site does not offer a "home" button. The logo link is the only link to the home page. As you navigate the site, if that logo did not exist, there would not be a reasonable way for users to return to the home page. Users would have to either use the sitemap link in the footer and select the home page, or use the Back button. From a functionality perspective, the linking logo is huge in this example. Another consideration is the flow of PageRank. The home page is often the most important page of your site. It should normally be linked to from every page of your site. Again using the verizonwireless.com site example, if that logo link did not exist the PR of the site would be highly disrupted. It is of huge importance. If you consider an average site with a "Home" navigation option, the importance is greatly diminished in comparison. The logo would simply represent a secondary link to the home page.
