Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For link building purpose I strongly suggest the Link Research Tools http://www.linkresearchtools.com/

Hi James,
A) you are talking about a 301 redirect (not 201 I suppose) --> you have to do that definitively!
B) I seems to me kind of spammy if the company name is added a 2nd time and additionally the shorter the url the more the people can remind it. I see no advantage of having it twice in the url.

I find the idea not bad - but I woudn't include any numbers at all. This enforces only "number hunting" in my opinion. As Thomas mentioned the "staff endorsed answers" do have a "real" value.

I have the same problem here in Austria

Perhaps there you find some valuable directories:

Let me explain what I want to know:

Somebody searches e.g. for a hotel on his mobile phone. Do the search engines rank websites with special mobile pages better than others? I am not considering the local factor here (let's say there are hotels nearby with or without mobile websites).

If not, is there a trend for that?

Does anyone have some datas / examples / experience about that?

Just read the whole "story". One of our clients had the same problem: has been in the local pack and was out for several search terms. Same with zoom-in zoom-out (appearing after movement). Obviously the filter because of a 2nd business with the same adress. We tested to change the address (which was a minor change - instead of "27a" we tried "27")  which did work out immediately. After 10 min the business was back in the 3-pack.

I don't recommend that changing of the address at all - but in conclusion with the customer we decided to stick to that slighly changed street number - at least until we get more information about that local update.

Hi Jacob,

it's a good ideal to put the plural and singular version in the title and won't hurt your website. Like that you cover both versions and it can be indeed a difference in the search results if you write the word in singular or in plural version.

You always have to take care that it don't look to spamy not to scare off the users but your title looks fine to me.

Did you look into the Google Webmaster Tools already? There you can see them as well - of course not all. But you have to check from time to time - they don't show up all together. If you fix some perpaps some more will come up ...

So far it is still working. The customer is back in the local back. No other spotted disadvantages anywhere - so far. Adding a suite number didn't work out - like Joy Hawkins did confirm several times. Perhaps you would like to make some experiments with e.g. adding a letter to your street number? As I have seen the filter is working withing 5 - 15 minutes - so you can fix any change pretty quick.

Hi there, there are several factors important:

The most important ones are:

• the keyword must be in the name of the images (e.g. you have several images named with numbers img9325430644.jpeg --> nobody is searching for "img9325430644"
• the keyword(s) must be in the surrounded area of the image(s)
• the size of the image (bad if they are too small or too large)
• the keyword should be in the alt text and in the title of the page (the title attribute has no impact on seo)
• the keyword relevancy of the whole page
• the age of the image (the older - the better)
• the originality (the more unique the image is the better)
• the better the page where the image is on is linked - the faster the image gets indexed
• if the image is used several times the images seems to be more  important to Google and the chance of its indexation increases
• image xml sitemap

I hope I didn't forget some items - but those are certainly the most important ones.

I agree, too

We had a similar question recently - http://www.seomoz.org/q/page-title-tags-seo-vs-cro

Most roadmap imagery is available from zoom levels 0 to 18, for example. With zoom level 0 the whole world can be visible.

As we all know, the more we zoom in on Google Maps, the more spots (e.g. name of restaurants, hotels etc.) are visible. Some spots are visible "sooner" - with a lower zoom level, which is of course better for the company. Some companies are only visible with a very high zoom level.

If I have a highly branded company is the zoom level lower? Is this the answer for the different display?

Hi David, thank you for your reply.

Would you mind sharing your arguments why you find it is important? I would be curious how many pros you find - I like your point of view.

Seems to be a significant difference between 5 x 1000 and the rest. So if you want to rank with that term you should definitefely set up an extra page for that and treat that indivually. 5 x 1000 can mean everything ...

The lasting 5 terms are similar and we know that the search engines use synonymes, too - therefore we should definetifely use them. Althouth I made the experience that it is really difficult to rank with all synonyms. The best would be to set up a page for each term - what probably will be very difficult.

Every redirect is passing link juice but as I wrote not 100% - only 90-99% - so you have a loss each time.

Here a link you should take a look at: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-interview-googles-matt-cutts-on-redirects-trust-more - "It's a bad idea to chain redirects".

Regarding your strategy - I am not able to pass an adaquat advice because I don't know your technical possibilities.

Hi Keri, you just pushed me to go forward with that problem. Yes, Mike's suggestion works perfect!

Hi Andrew,

you can read the answer here in the new search ranking factors:

There it is pretty well explained
