Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'd suggest spreading out the proposals, especially if all of the bloggers are within the same niche. It will be obvious to blog readers interested in the niche that the reviews are paid for if every blog is essentially promoting the same product/category of products within the same time period. I would also suggest varying the products if possible (although I don't know anything about the products you are offering) just so 150 blogs aren't reviewing the exact same product, which again might turn off blog readers and could even raise some flags with the search engines as being "sponsored posts" (especially if they all show up at once).

That being said, if you are looking to generate some publicity for a new product launch, it might be a better idea to do some blogger outreach combined with press releases and articles/interviews with major news outlets just so it comes off as more "legitimate" buzz instead of simply getting a bunch of bloggers to review the same product at the same time.

I have a few clients who are hosted on Bluehost and yes, all of the sites have experienced increased sluggishness/straight up downtime over the past few years. I'd recommend looking into other alternatives.

There is a time delay in Google AdWords reporting, so if you are only looking at today's data then that is likely the reason why you are seeing different numbers. Are you seeing the same discrepancies for clicks yesterday or any other date? Here is a link explaining the time delay - http://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2544985?hl=en

There are some errors, but since I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, I recommend checking it with a tool first. Here is a great tool to check your robots.txt file and give you information on errors - http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml

If you still need assistance after running it through the tool, please reply and we can help you further.

SEOmoz does not currently provide a listing of the top 50 keywords used to get to your site. If you have Google Analytics already installed, then it should have exactly what you are looking for. That being said, you can actually link your Google Analytics account to SEOmoz so you can access all of this data all within one place.

It's hard to diagnose exactly what happened going off only the info you provided. Has the site seen a drop in rankings for all of your keywords, or just certain ones? How much of a decrease? And all your pages? Or just your homepage? Have you made any changes recently either to on-site content and/or linkbuilding? Have you received any messages or noticed anything unusual within Google Webmaster Tools?

I would recommend just letting them drop out of the index naturally. Google basically suggests doing the same thing - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/05/do-404s-hurt-my-site.html

If you find that the 404'd pages are still in the index after a period of time, then it may make sense to manually remove them via GWT.

Based on the information you provided, yes, I would recommend a 301 redirect to do what you are trying to accomplish versus a 302 or no redirect.

I'm a huge fan of Long Tail Pro. It uses the GAKT to pull keyword data and then you can sort by a number of criteria to find the best keywords to target. They offer a Platinum level which is only $17/month and uses the SEOmoz API for determining keyword difficulty/competition. If you enjoyed Market Samurai, Long Tail Pro is quite similar but I actually prefer it over MS.

Can you tell from which page Bing is trying to access these URLs? And it only happened on the 4th and not on any other day? Could it be an issue with the sitemap on that day?

I'm looking at your site now and the page http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/shure-se-earphones is returning a 200 response code to me, not a 404 code. The key is to figure out how Bing discovered the URL in the first place...

I'm willing to bet that on some page of your site, there is a link pointing to www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/shure-se-earphones which is missing the "http://" at the beginning. So if Bing or a user tried to click on that link, they would be directed to /StoreFront/category/www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/category/shure-se-earphones instead of the correct link.

I'd recommend using both "keyword" and "keyword nyc" to see how they perform against each other. If you find that "keyword nyc" is performing well, the Quality Score of that keyword may be higher than if you were simply bidding on just "keyword", which means the cost-per-click may be lower as well. Then you could also change the ad copy to focus more on "keyword nyc" instead of just "keyword" and hopefully increase click-throughs and conversions.

I usually recommend using a combination of keywords and match types in order to target the most specific/relevant phrases as possible (without making them too specific where Google determines a keyword's search volume is so low that your ads won't be shown).

This post may help - Add Google Analytics Data to Zoho CRM Lead Forms

If that's not what you are looking for, let me know since I'm very interested in this kind of tracking. I'm currently working on a side project called Convertable which combines analytics and form submissions. Right now, the leads are stored in the Convertable dashboard but you can export entries via Excel spreadsheets. I know that's not the ideal solution for your situation but we are currently working on an API which will allow us to connect with Zoho, Salesforce, Mailchimp, etc. which will hopefully be ready within the next few weeks.

SEMRush is exactly what you are looking for. Just plug in a URL and you will see the top organic keywords as well as PPC keywords any website is currently ranking for, the number of searches each month and the estimated percentage of traffic any particular keyword is responsible for generating. It's very useful to quickly find out the keywords your competitors are targeting and ranking for, as well as on your own site to uncover keywords that you may be ranking 19th for that you weren't even aware of.

I'd suggest using absolute (full) URLs whenever possible just to ensure you don't accidentally miss any relative URLs if you happen to move content/pages around. Yoast actually has a great blog post about why it makes sense to use full URLs whenever possible - http://yoast.com/relative-urls-issues/

I would suggest 301 redirecting the bad URL to the better brand URL. If the company is based in the US, I would likely recommend using the .com over the .it (unless the .it is part of the brand name like blurt.it). As long as the 301 redirect is put in place correctly and there are no more duplicate sites, then your link profile/organic rankings should not be severely impacted.

Here is what I have found, a solution using CSS3 - http://www.cssportal.com/css3-preview/showing-and-hiding-content-with-pure-css3.htm.

Not sure how well it works across all different browsers though.

How long ago did you implement the 301 redirects? I just checked the Google cache of one of the dispmode URLs and the page was cached on December 24th, 2012 for the URL. If the 301s were put in place prior to December 24th, then Google should have followed the 301 redirect instead of caching that version of the page.

My suggestion would be to configure the parameters with Google Webmaster Tools to tell Google not to index the URLs with the dispmode parameter.

It's always a good idea to consolidate http/https for the search engines since A) it's possible there may be duplicate content issues and B) the links pointing to the different versions of the URL would not necessarily carry as much weight as having all of the links point to one URL. Here is a great blog post outlining these issues and offers some useful solutions - http://www.searchenginejournal.com/seo-for-http-and-https/15055/

There are a number of SEO plugins available for Joomla, most of which allows you to customize the title tag. Here are some that I've found that may be what you are looking for -
