Scraped content ranking above the original source content in Google.
**Everett Sizemore - Director, R&D and Special Projects at Inflow: **Use the Google Scraper Report form. Thanks. I didn't know about this. If that doesn't work, submit a DMCA complaint to Google. This does work. We submit dozens of DMCAs to Google every month. We also send notices to sites who have used our content but might know understand copyright infringement. Everett Sizemore - Director, R&D and Special Projects at Inflow Endorsed 2 minutes ago Until Manoj gives us the URLs so we can look into it ourselves, I'd have to say this is the best answer: Google sucks sometimes. Use the Google Scraper Report form. If that doesn't work, submit a DMCA complaint to Google.

What are your views on recent statements regarding "advertorial" content?
Thanks, Matt. Yes, this issue with advertorial content is two-fold a) With links and flow of PageRank --- which I suppose is more straightforward and a no-no. However, what's the likely impact on services such as PRWEb, PRLeap etc.? b) Content that may have been generated and published as a result of commercial arrangement between two parties, but without any links and flow of PageRank. Need to consider this in the context of a supposedly a better understanding and reliance on entities-associations for ranking purposes.

Are there any proven SEO benefits of presence and popularity on Facebook, just as there is supposedly benefit from Google+?
Thanks for your answer, Joel. I think the order of priority you've suggested for B2B marketing through social media seems very logical. If there is anything more definitive/tangible about the influence of social sharing/ interaction on organic search results that you could point me to, it would be very valuable. It always helps to show some clients hard data/ case studies! Thanks again.

Geotargeting a new domain without impacting traffic to existing domain
Thanks, Gareth. Yes, we are evaluating the different options, including the sub-domain/ separate folder one, though the option we really want to go for (primarily due to business considerations) is the one I've described above. Any more thoughts/ ideas will certainly be appreciated.
