Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If you are there just for reputation management, I would advice that you push the brand name mostly. Of course, if you are targeting secondary (read related keywords) which point to the website's offering rather than the brand keywords, you are doing a great service for your client.

You can actually talk to your client letting him know about your intentions so that you maybe credited for the effort.

I think thats an answer that either Rand or Gillian or anyone from mozplex would be more equipped to handle. I would rather have a credit system where  X$ gets you Y credits. Its on the user how he/she uses it. Each pro tool would cost credits and he can get a renewal every month.

The best way is to enable the creation of unique content daily. UGC and user participation if added to the unique content would add to the crawl ability. If you want to go a bit high tech, you can put the fresh content on a webcache to enable Google bots to visit you more frequently. ALso, make sure that your older/archived pages get some content cycled ( new comments, new tweets etc etc)

I got an interesting post from one of the bloggers: SEJ shared this on facebook.

Domain name change is a very tough decision and changing domain name to accommodate keywords wouldnt work to bump up rankings.

I would do a deep analysis of the website and do some better interlinking coupled with great inbound marketing. Maybe a viral video or something as well...

Changing domain solve your problem. Remember what happened to meta keywords?

SEOMOZ had an awesome whiteboard on this.

Hope they help you

#1. Unique useful on page content

#2. Good interpage linking and natural contextual linking

#3. Social mentions and retweets by influencial people

Make a social network or profile website where everyone has their own space where they can write (something like a personal blog). Now, ask people to write reviews, send customers and users of your services for any of these professionals a feedback form with the URL to their profile and tell them to rate and review these guys.

Keep a strict moderation policy and try extracting useful information and compile them in a wiki kind of a storyboard as a summary of discussions, or a composed real time bio.

That should keep search engines interested.

You may want to see how your website cache for your homepage looks like on Google. Maybe its reading the wrong header everytime. My suggestion would be to check that 1st. If it shows fine, I dont think it will hurt your rankings as such. If you have rel=caononical in place correctly, you would be fine. It would be worthy to identify your pages where you want rankings and based on that, you could diagnose.

Add a meta tag as or

That will do it for you.

Joe,

1st of all, which one of your websites rank better for your target keywords?

Which one is an older domain?

Which one gets you more natural traffic (not from search engines or referrals, but direct traffic).

I would go in with the domain that comes up on all these 3 answers.

In that case, I would do a url based redirect to your affinityproperties URL. Joecline doesnt ring many bells. But do not do a domain level redirect, rather put in a URL based redirect.

You can use open site explorer to see the link profile just to make sure that affinityproperties has a better link profile. If Joecline has a better link profile, I would keep Joecline since the link authority matters in Google rankings.

add a mobile sitemap to your GWT.

Here is a link that will help you.

I think that its an issue. Although the link juice passed is not that high, it makes complete sense to get the images on the same server as the website.

As an immediate step, you can add a nofollow tag to the links just to make sure that no link juice is passed.

On the tags and category pages, you should have a rel=noindex, follow tags. That would ensure that crawlers (seomoz custom crawl or Googlebot) dont have duplicate content issues.

This was a problem with wordpress blogs as well, which has been handled nicely now.
