Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In addition to using keyword tools,  you can also look up your most successful competitors and look at their keywords.

Thanks Digirank, I will give it a try and try to get my squidoo lens featured.

According to SEOmoz there are over 150 signals included in DA calculation. Of course links would be your usual suspect here but as Phil Gross said you should revisit all the changes you've made in the past months.

What do you mean by "make sure that your article is live on Squidoo before the link is seen by the search engines" ?

As for the Hub Pages, I think you have to achieve a score of 70+ or something like that before you're allowed followed links.

Hi eye

I guess I would place a link on a page with 200+ outgoing external links, provided the page has some solid authority and some useful content.  I would  consider the text - links ratio as well. It's not an easy question and I guess it really depends on the page.

Hi Atul

This should help http://www.seomoz.org/img/upload/Cheat%20Sheet%20-%20301.png

Here is the full PDF version of Developer's SEO cheat sheet. I found it very useful when dealing with technical SEO issues.

Hello Mozzers

I'm thinking about using squidoo as a part of my link building. I've never used squidoo before, I'd love to hear from Mozzers using sqidoo for link building and traffic generation.

We also had some snow here in B'ham but it's almost gone now.

If you want to be sure then simply implement 301 redirects. When doing a manual check, like the one you've mentioned above, you can look at your SEOmoz toolbar and you will often see a difference in PA of different versions of your page.

That would be google.com and google.co.uk and if you find yourself redirected to your local google site you will need to change your settings. You will find instructions on Google support page here.

Hi Atul

That would depend on what type of redirection you're after, 301, 302 and the type of server you are using Apache or ISS. There is a nice post here explaining redirections in detail. It should answer your question.

Internal links and inbound links are two different things. It is important to have a sound internal link structure it can improve navigation and user experience. It also gives search engines a better idea of your site. It is also good to link out to external, especially authoritative pages.However in order to rank well for your keywords you will need inbound links ie. other sites linking to pages or your website. The better and more authoritative inbound links you get the better will your pages rank.

Hi Diane

Link building is a long process, you are in a very good place to learn how to start your link building. Check out The professional guide to link building.   You can use OSE to check your existing backlinks.Be aware that It takes some time before your links will show up. Keep in mind that some of your competitors started their link building years ago. You just need to be persistent and focus on building quality links, as not all links are equal.

Hi Mark

Are you using Google Webmaster Tools to find duplicate page titles?

I was just about to edit my response I misunderstood your question.

Hi James

No, you can not upload keywords. You'll have to optimise your pages for certain keywords and build inbound links in order to rank and get traffic. There was a great post about perfecting your keyword targeting & on page optimisation. I always show this page to my  customers as an example of perfectly optimised page.

You will need to optimise a number of pages, you can use the template from the link above and when done there is a handy little tool here on SEOmoz  to check and grade how well is your page optimised for a particular keyword.

I hope this helps.

Hi Dinesh

I don't think anyone can provide you with a bundle of 1000+ quality backlinks just like that. Link building is a long process. I suggest you check out The Professional guide to link building. You should also be mindful of anyone offering you such a bundle in exchange for money. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.

Hi Melissa

This is all good. I suggest you also do some work before publishing your post. Spread the word around using all available channels and reach out to influencers in your niche. Get in touch with influential bloggers, they might be able to give you some pointers that will increase your chances of getting links. They have to like your post in a first place if they ever going to link to it.  There was an excellent Whiteboard Friday on How to increase the odds of your content going viral. Please check it out, I found it very helpful.

You should also consider adding Google+ and twitter to your social strategy.
