Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You could also try this tool > http://bit.ly/HRNQiF, it lets you create A/B tests without doing any major page design changes, comes with its own visual editor.

Also note how Matt has added no index, no follow to the paginated pages

Forget Pagerank... it means nothing.  Look at SEOmoz's domain authority (DA) instead.  If they can supply you 50 links on 50 different sites with a DA of over 50/100 each for $250.... then DM me their details!!

You can set the seomoz rank tracking to only track from Google.co.uk if you need to.

I'd just link to the category archive, but make these categories really strong.  On a couple of my blogs I've created static content at the top of the category pages, then built external links to them to rank them.

Thanks Rand, that's put my mind a little more at ease - I just couldn't find any information about confidentiality.

This data is so so valuable...

You need to contact the sites directly or tell the SEO Company to do it. Its much harder undoing low quality links than building them!!

Sounds like it could get messy to me.  As google always crawls from the US they will be redirected to the .us site, while the rest of the world will not... could be seen as cloaking if not done properly.

I'd always go with subfolders and have .com for the US then .com/uk/   etc.  see Apple as a good example.

Its not just from backlinks.  I've got blogs where the  homepage is PR1 but posts are PR3, due to social signals and shares of the post.  This seems to be happening more recently.

Yep new sites can do that, especially with exact match domains (EMDs), had exactly the same myself this week  with one of my hosting affiliate sites.

Don't worry about it, just get your head down and build some quality links

united are pretty good too

Agreed or run both for SERP control

You could use Xenu or Screaming Frog to pull out all their page meta titles (assuming they are optimized for keywords).

To find the keywords they are really going for, use something like MajesticSEOs frash crawl index to see the top pages they are building links to... the anchor text used will be the give away.

You are producing duplicate content on the monthly pages e.g.

http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/apr2012training-boston

http://www.nuxeo.com/en/about/events/jan2012training-boston

Cut and paste a chunk of the page text into the Google search box, you will then see all the duplicates being indexed by Google.

That will definitely work, it will just take a few weeks for Google to re-crawl the site and remove these urls from their index.  Sit back and relax... the job is done!

You need to build some anchor text links with 'office refurbishment' in, OSE is not showing any.

Google has 200+ ranking signals, it would depend on the niche in my opinion.

Sounds crap, just do it manually.  There is no shortcut for good  onsite SEO.

They are saying they will show results from other places but it seems to be quite rare from what I have seen, they are just doing a big G+ push.
