Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you David and Gary. I have used the official one in the past from that exact page. Somehow I missed the iframe option. Any ideas for twitter?

I should say a 1.5% degredation for each repetition cumilatively. So could I assume I have lost 15% as error in your tool? meaning I have a score of %35 now ?? Who knows 

Definitely not hide any heading tags! But what about advanced development techniques like tooltips and lightboxes? If you want to display a part of the page only on a certain user interaction? Would this impact your OnPage optimization negitively when the spider sees an html tag with a css property of hidden?

I believe that this is a clear demonstration that link metrics are a decoy that  pulls you away from what is really important.

okay - that is rather pants! Need to shout and stamp until they fix it! :O)

Hey Ryan! While the toolbar should be showing you correct link counts, you're right - it doesn't show a list of those links. If you'd like to see that feature, definitely suggest it at our feature request forum: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests. As for links going out from the site, if you think there's an issue with the tool can you email some examples to help@seomoz.org? It's more of a support question than an SEO question so definitely hit us up there with more information about the issue if you think it's inaccurate. Hope that helps!

Hey Ryan, I think you answered your own question. A wiki type page with links to forums could be pretty useful I feel. Good idea! Compare that to your standard forum category page such as Google's Webmaster Forum. I would not 'noindex' the page either, because you're likely to get a lot of useful links to that page, and could rank for some good queries with it. Would it be possible to expand on your wiki idea, and possible have social type content on the page as well? perhaps for example, you could pull in a couple tweets about each, or something of that nature. Mostly, I'm thinking, how could the page be made more shareable. What do you think?

Thank you John. The solution you offered works if a site is geared for one particular language. The site I am working with has language dedicated forums covering more then a dozen languages. The end solution will need to adjust for all of them. I will speak to the forum software about your idea and hopefully we can build something off your suggestion. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

The key issue you wrote about, titles that are too long, relates to how well a page matches the topical focus within the title. Too many words in a title can cause topical dilution if they're all keyword phrases. In my experience, have the most important / most relevant content at the front of the title relative to the page topic.  So from that regard you're doing it properly. Generally speaking, I teach clients to keep the individual page title to 70 characters.  Not to prevent dilution specifically, but to ensure the entire title shows up in the Google search results although Google sometimes overrides your given title for one of their own if they think your title doesn't truly match the page focus. When a title goes beyond 70 characters, if the extra text is brand focused, it's not a terrible thing.  Google will still process the entire title, it's just the whole thing won't show up in the results pages. Having all the titles appended after the unique forum topic with your forum brand is not 100% ideal in regard to matching the individual page topic, however it's perfectly acceptable from an overall branding perspective. As for MagentoWebDeveloper and his concern with repetition, there is truth to that, to a certain degree, however it's not as major an impact because you do have each title prepended with the individual page's topical focus. And the more you do to focus on across-the-board SEO, the less concern that becomes.

Those are commends added to the code. My site has is part of the effort to rid the internet of IE6 browsers. You can read more about it http://www.theie6countdown.com/join-us.html. There is a simple script placed in the site which detects IE 6 & 7 browsers and asks users to update their software. TYNT is a SEO tool http://www.tynt.com/. It allows webmasters to track any information which is copied and pasted from their site. It creates links back to the site, and tracks all activity on those links. Both of those scripts are working normally and neither should negatively impact crawls. My Google WMT show my site being crawled normally, no errors. I have multiple pages ranked #1. With that said, there are plenty of opportunities for me to improve, which is why I am here. The position of the Title and meta tags within the head should not be a factor at all. I did hear Matt Cutts share once that webmasters could move the information to the top to help if there are other issues such as a page where the tag is not properly closed, but that is not really relevant in this case.

Good question. There are a few ways of doing it but I'd advise using a canonical URL on each page to tell the search engines where the content stems from. I had a quick look at XenoForo and this looks relatively simple to do... although make sure you test things thoroughly just in case
