Welcome to the Q&A Forum

SeoMoz members have no control over what Mozbot crawls. Your best bet is to use a variety of site explorers to find links. Ex. Majestic, Google Webmaster tools, Link:www.example.com, Bing Link Explorer

Yes, technically this is buying links but I don't think it will harm your website. But on the same token I don't think links from these sites help either.

These sites may have a high domain rank but your link is placed on a new page that usually will have a low page rank.

Instead, I would try to submit your infographic to informational or educational sites if applicable. Also, consider sharing with websites that are relevant to your industry.

And I would set up some Google & Twitter Alerts to find people talking about topics related to your infographic. Start to build rapport with these people and mention your infographic to them for possible link opp.

Is your client open to changing to a new CMS? I haven't used expressionengine but it sounds like some of the features you would expect to be simple are not.

Examples of good anchor text that isn't branded is text links that flow within the content. Most of the blog posts on SeoMoz include tons of links but they don't come across spammy because they are intended to support, not mislead. I think good anchor text should include these elements:

• relevant to the topic of page or site
• read naturally within context
• descriptive of linked page

Review some of the blogs here to get a better understanding of good anchor text.

JH is right - Google should already recognize the original source. You could include a rel=canonical tag pointing to the original source to be safe - probably unnecessary though.

Google is recognizing the rel=canonical tag as this URL - http://torontovaporizer.ca/portable-vaporizers/arizer-solo-vaporizer.html - is not being indexed.

Unless your ecommerce site creates other duplicate pages that you have not placed a rel=canonical tag you should be OK.

Quality deeplink building and diversified text should be your solution.

I would also check your webmaster tools to see if there are warnings or crawl errors. Also, Choose "Optimization" Option and click on "HTML Improvements" to find any recommendations on meta or title tags.

I would work on building more quality links. It appears that a majority of your links are from directories and may not be helping build authority on search engines. Consider building links to your product pages with diversified anchor text to have a natural looking linkback profile. This should help get your product pages ranking.

Are all of the product descriptions unique other than the canonical issue?

its difficult to tell without knowing how you set up these 302 redirects. This specific URL returns a 404 page and does not redirect to anything which may contribute to the False attribute.

Have you considered just doing a 301 redirect for these pages?

I do like how the social media pops out the side but you have to question are users going skip over it. Would it be more effective if they didn't have to hover over the icon to see what's going on on your news feed and which of their friends already like your page - by just simply glancing to the sidebar.

But then again building fans to your fan page isn't your end goal. Building fans is merely a technique used to accomplish your end goal of making sales or conversions. So I can see how compromising page real estate can be a factor.

However you can consider writing a custom message that adds value to your facebook fanpage. A compelling message above or near the facebook plugin convincing a user to become a fan may be appropriate. Or if you have a contest running then informing your web visitors would work well.

I think the custom social media bars you have under each blog post is set up nicely to receive webpage likes. Establishing a referral program  can help get your webpage liked/shared.

Your h4s and alt tags could be more keyword rich but the main content looks natural and include relevant keywords.

However, I would consider placing a prominent call-to-action above the fold somewhere.

These are just suggestions as there are multiple ways you could do this. Hope this helps.

Production Hub - http://www.productionhub.com/ may be a good place to list the job opening. I would also look into professional associations or trade groups for the type of position that allow posts within their forum or have a designated section for careers.

JH is right - Google should already recognize the original source. You could include a rel=canonical tag pointing to the original source to be safe - probably unnecessary though.

Host your videos on a third party host (Wistia, Vimeo Pro) and embed on your site with a crawlable player - most prefer html5 player to get your videos on the SERPs and refer back to your site.

Do not publish videos on Youtube or Vimeo if you want the video to go back to your site - it will be self-cannibalization. Also once the videos are on your site, create a video XML sitemap and submit through GWT.

As far as having a link in the embed code of your videos, I believe Wistia's Embed Builder will help you create an iframe that can do just that.

It is best practice to diversify your anchor text even if the links are from quality sites. Not only to avoid being hit by penguin but to help rank your site for a variety of search terms.

A majority of your anchor text should be branded.

Also, having an exact match keyword domain can be risky, although I still do see exact match keyword domains still ranking well. If you do have exact match domain, I would continue creating quality content on site and obtaining good linkbacks to avoid any future algorithm changes.

I've worked with Drupal and Wordpress and have had great results in regards to SEO capabilities. However, Drupal is considered one of the best for the following reasons:

Good Luck!

Here is a post on the Seo Moz Blog a couple of weeks ago. Provides good information to understand how shortened links work with ranking. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/url-shortener-owl-li-indexed-in-google

When a user likes a website, it is really considered as sharing the website on the facebook feed.

Liking a facebook page is basically becoming a friend/fan of the company's page - where you can interact with them and see their posts.

I think having your website liked/shared would contribute more to SEO but having more likes on your fan page will you allow more users to see your content and interact with your brand.

I would focus on creating quality content and clever ways to attract "fans" then as a result the likes/shares to your website will come naturally.

I had contemplated this a couple of years ago. We had an old site and just created a new one. The old site was performing well in the search results for popular keywords. We didn't want to risk losing any ranking doing a 301 redirect and we wanted to attempt having multiple listings on search results - so, we kept both!

We stopped updating the old site and let it coast then started working on SEO for the new site and eventually had two well performing sites on the SERPs.

And with google merging organic and place pages, you could use the new site as the URL for a place page if the company you are working with is a local business. So you'll have a organic listing and place listing.

I thought I would share my experience with you to consider what is possible with keeping both sites.  However, there is nothing wrong with 301 redirecting to the new site.

I have used the wordpress multisite for several domains. Each domain is managed under one wordpress install but each of the sites have unique content.

All of the domains are indexed as separate and rank well for their search terms. You shouldn't have a problem with google omitting your domains if you provide unique content on each site.

Hey Alex,

Did you end up using Sponsored Tweets? How were the results?
