But isn't any good for getting the other items indexed properly, no?

RE: How to use SEOMoz tool?
Could start with the FAQ - http://www.seomoz.org/dp/webapp-faq - if you have any specific questions just ask.

RE: SEOmoz Crawl CSV in Excel: already split by semicolon. Is this Excel's fault or SEOmoz's?
Think it's more likely a PC 'fault'.
You probably want to list a comma rather than a semi-colon as a separator - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/import-or-export-text-txt-or-csv-files-HP010099725.aspx#BMchange_the_separator_in_all_.csv_text
If you use open office you can choose what you want to use when you first open each file.

RE: Keyword Difficulty Tool
I think you should submit this as a bug to help@seomoz.org
The tool obviously takes the links as it finds them, limited to 10, and these new sitelinks have thrown a spanner in the works

RE: List of links pointing out of my site?
Would have suggested Xenu, but I don't think you can get the page it's on exported.
Maybe XPATH and PHP could get this? I'll point you at this - http://www.css-resources.com/list-a-websites-external-links-alphabetically-using-xpath-and-php.html - but don't ask me how to do it

-
RE: New sitelinks - can we control the number?
I think you're right. There was certainly no way to request them for the old sitelink style and could/can only remove them.
@confettiwedding Is 8 not enough for you

I get 10 appear for [confetti wedding] as well as for my own (2 dictionary word) brands. I imagine that you might actually be getting the max for what it is. In so much as people searching for confetti aren't definitely looking for your site.

RE: Criteria of related searches
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU- Typed this out three times now and every time FF has crashed on me. Raging!
Anyway, one last try.
Yes, it's mostly search volume with a high QDF factor, I believe, stemming from - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/fresher-related-search-suggestions.html
It includes lessons learned from - http://www.google.com/squared
Check this out - http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/06/organizing-lists-of-related-searches_16.html
Also it's expanding into whole sites, along the lines of - http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/discovering-pages-similar-to-ones-that.html
I did do more commentary on each of them the first couple of times I typed it out, but you can read can get the gist of it yourself

RE: Schema.org support by google
Rich snippets are not guaranteed to be shown, indeed you have to be a bit of an authority in your field for them to show (easier if you're location dependent).
I'm not sure if Google is showing rich snippits for adult products though (and I'm not going to start searching to find out, lol)
Read the FAQ - http://knol.google.com/k/google-rich-snippets-tips-and-tricks#Frequently_Asked_Questions - sign up to the program - http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/request.py?contact_type=rich_snippets_feedback - (you seem to be outputting data okay though it may struggle with non-Latin characters) and see what happens.
Do you need a rating system to show up?

RE: Slash at end of URL causing Google crawler problems
Satchmo does this automatically - http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/dev/configuration.html?highlight=trailing slash - however, as far as I can see from the documentation and forums there's no way to disable it

I'm unfamiliar with Satchmo though, hit up the Google Group - http://groups.google.com/group/satchmo-users/topics - and ask there.

RE: SaaS client portal for sharing files, invoicing, messaging?
Well, you basically just described Basecamp but you need something like FreshBooks - http://www.freshbooks.com/ - for the invoicing part.
Nothing I know of that does both parts though.
EDIT: Maybe you try something you host yourself with a wiki software or something like - http://www.activecollab.com/ - or - http://collab.ws/.
Basecamp alternatives - https://company.podio.com/ - http://www.zoho.com/projects/ - http://lighthouseapp.com/ - http://goplanapp.com/

RE: Does IP filtering have a negative impact on SEO?
I do this on most of my sites and haven't seen anything bad happen. In fact a quick trip to Google.fi (just to check) shows mysite.com/fi/ followed by mysite.com (with inline sitelinks) and then mysite.com/fi/page and mysite.com/page, so seems fine.
Other subfolders with less links going into them (Germany for example) have mysite.com and mysite.com/de/
So UK IP directs them to site.com/uk, AUS IP to site.com/aus, yeah?
A couple of considerations.
- Allow users to select what language they want once they're on the site (and make it obvious how to change). To get this to work make sure you check the referral header and if it's from site.com don't impliment the IP redirect.
Having a drop down in the header also means Google can get to all of your language subfolders.
- Set your targeted country in webmaster tools. You can do this for subfolders quite easily.
There should be no problem even with same language (English) content as long as you do this.
A bit of further reading for you

RE: How do you embed a YouTube video in a mobile version?
I thought the purpose of the iframe version was to detect whether the device needed Flash or HTML 5 and serve up either?
http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html
I see there that it's only aiming to be compatible with native players for mobile devices. I guess it's still not 100% if there's an ad to be served before the video (although that was a year ago).
The iframe embed would seem to be 'upgradeable' (in so much as it'll eventually include mobile support), but I don't think there'll be a way around it just now if it's not working. Certainly can't find anything else about it

-
RE: How do you embed a YouTube video in a mobile version?
Just use the iframe embed, no?
Or am I underthinking it? What devices doesn't the iframe embed work on?

RE: Data for Articles and Infographics
Only believe data you've collected yourself

That said there are a lot of things that are reasonably quantifiable. If you were to get stats on various world records I'd be happy that those listed in the Guiness Book of World Records were accurate and the same can be said for most things taken 'from the horses mouth'.

RE: What is the Best Landing Page setup?
Don't think it can be changed.

RE: What is the Best Landing Page setup?
Basically you can't make your homepage just for SEO, you need a purpose for your website, you take your goals and then work out how best to apply SEO within the confines of those goals.
There's no inherent advantage or disadvantage to any of the page styles you've mentioned and there are dozens of more ways a page can be laid out.
-
RE: What is the Best Landing Page setup?
A page is a page from a SEO point of view. Build it the same way as you would any other page you wanted to rank (title, alt text, content, headers, etc). Unless you're also a news outlet I wouldn't necessarily be trying to compare myself with what NYT and CNN are doing either.
While I appreciate that any page that brings a visit from a search engine or other campaign is a landing page, what exactly are we talking about? Do you mean you have a specific campaign (PPC or even targeting a specific page to a keyword)...
Actually, before I go any further and looking at your examples, do you mean homepage?

RE: IP Location at a glance - Moz toolbar
Seems SEOmoz is adding an unnecessary http at the start of both our links

-
RE: IP Location at a glance - Moz toolbar
If you're struggling until they fix it you can use Flagfox.
-
RE: Moz Toolbar Analyzer - Links
Ah right, well, you'll probably have to put in a feature request for the toolbar to see that and again, you'll not actually be seeing through Google's eyes.
I've just tried to run a crawl test - http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test - to see if that breaks down links on each page or not, will let you know (or you can run your own anyway).
You can put the page into Fetch as Googlebot in WMT as well, but it'll just return the code it's seeing, so you'll have to count what shows and what doesn't.
Apart from that, not much I can think of.
