Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You're a letter too long and a hyphen short. Try re-certification. Believe it or not, I thought about this all night. Friday Night: NON-STOP SEARCH ENGINE ACTION I'll go cry somewhere now. But I'm not really crying. I'm cutting onions, for a lasagna, for one. You can do a pretty easy find and replace if the site DB is capable of handling that. Static stuff can be hard.

Daniel, I should have been more clear. I would not work with a client who produces automatically created content. The goal is to use the software to generate ideas related to the content and to learn about additional references and areas where the topics are being discussed.

I would assume it is manual and begin the process of reconsideration (immediately due to them taking a while - some two to three months). The reason I say that is that there is nothing in Site:url. I cannot think of any other reason that there would be zero indexed pages showing.  Have you looked on Bing for cached pages (out of curiosity more than anything)?

This is a great thread. I've also tried the foreign outsource thing. It's been hit or miss. I guess my question would be what's cheap?

I spent many hours first going through blog articles then youmoz articles searching every "directory" related post for years and was unable to find the right article. Memory can be funny. My recollection is it was on this site and it was related to a link directory, but either my memory is faulty or I have missed it. Either way that does appear to be the reply Stephen was referring to which is a really nice find. I thank everyone for their help.

I figured out the root issue. The site's facebook page had an Age Rating of "alcohol related". It seems if you have any age setting other then "13+" then the page is not publicly visible unless you are logged in to facebook. Mystery solved. Thanks to all for sharing your ideas.

No, not at all. It is a common practice for sites to set up geo-location where if a user is from the US the site would appear in English, and if the user is from France the site would appear in French, and so forth.

If it happens I tend to use the task manager to kill it after 30 seconds.

I am not aware of any existing tool which performs this function. Stephen's reference contacted me and offered to build such a tool, but my client was not prepared to pay the expense of having a custom tool created. There is such an incredible array of SEO tools on the market that I mainly wanted to inquire if such a tool happened to already exist. I don't see a lot of value in the tool, but wanted to ask as per my client's request. Thank you for following up.

I wouldn't quite say that Roger was slacking, but more like he was running in a bunch of different directions at once. It's unfortunate that the Q&A system had problems right when we started MozCon and the new OSE was rolled out. All of the questions did get posted, and the Moz team is looking through the questions that got posted. So sorry for the down time!

Hi Ryan, You can learn more about MozRank and MozTrust at the following pages: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust The most basic reason why google.com doesn't have a perfect 10 for MR and MT is because no site does. Mozrank is the global link authority and importance of a site independent of a specific query. Those sites with a higher MozRank are likely to rank higher than their lesser ranking counterparts and not even google.com ranks #1 for every keyword possible in a search engine.  PA/DA are directly related to how well a site will rank in Google.com using a variety of different metrics. Read about Page Authority and Domain Authority here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority Definitely,  check out those links though to learn all about these different metrics.

Hi Kyle. Magento takes up a lot of resources and seems best suited for sites selling many products. I believe the software supports thousands of items. The specific need here is for a lite cart. There are only 2 products being sold. There is also a requirement that users only have to log in once at the site. Logging in once to the site and then another time to the shopping cart is undesirable. Therefore only a shopping cart with an established Joomla bridge would be workable. Thank you for the suggestion but they are not options in this case.
