Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would make your redirect a 301, not a 302.

OSE should treat them as the same, its just a secure version of your site, there is no duplicate content, its the same site.

I would write as much unique content as possible, even if there are feature sets that are the same, explain how they are applied to each different product.

Well stocktips.com doesn't seem to be a valid site, so there is no content to crawl.

If you're speaking in generalities (based on an exact match domain example), then if you do all your on page optimization, have decent content,  and start getting links, you should start seeing your site in top SERPs in a few months. If you do the work.

I had a client with an exact match, good on-page, a few natural external links and a couple blog articles and they were on the first page of the SERP after about 3 months.

Bottom line is that no one can tell you how long it will take, because it depends on the competitiveness of the term, if someone is doing SEO better than you, then they will out-rank you.

Do you have an editing software, or video graphic software to add a watermark? What about intros and outro's, even if it is just an image?

Correct, I would use a 301 re-direct from B to A

A client of mine wants to look into new areas of link building after convincing them that their current link building strategies (purchasing multiple links from god knows where) was not working well for them. Essentially I felt they were spinning their wheels.

Now, we are looking into content related blogs to get some honest links for their site. They sell sports equipment and we are looking at sports blogs to get links/partnerships. Most of these blogs want sponsorship fees or advertising fees.

From an ethical standpoint I understand buying links is not the best idea. But because these are blogs that earn traffic, have relevant content, and can be helpful for the advertisement aspect to link to people who might be interested in their products as well.

There shouldn't be a problem in acquiring a few of these links if the budget allows for it, correct? Also are blogs a good source to acquire links from?

I have a client who has a blog with a side bar on each page, in the sidebar there are various links to the site, as well as links to some of his partner sites.

I was looking at the recently updated open site explorer, and noticing that their domain authority is way down, a good amount below their competitors as well.

The total links compared  to the linking root domains is ~3000 to 200.

So my question is

1. How can I gain on the domain authority front? (more diverse links?)

And if so,

2. Should I no-follow the links on their blog so they don't have hundreds of pages with the same links (most internal) on there site

Thanks,

I would probably clean it up. Take that javascript code, put it in a new .js file and load it externally.

Well your first example would be referencing 2 separate directories, where the second example is one directory.

Here's a quick snippet of an article from Rand. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/11-best-practices-for-urls

These last examples have done nearly everything right:

• _http://www.discoverohio.com/visitors/map.asp_
  Brilliant - it's short, descriptive, static and obvious.
• _http://web.mit.edu/is/usability/usability-guidelines.html_
  Despite the subdomain, everything else is near perfect.
• _http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jk35.html_
  I'm letting the White House off the hook for not using "john-kennedy" as the page title, because they've wisely also provided his number (the US' 35th President).

1-2 sounds resonable, but I have had problems with 2 seperate keywords. One will always be more dominant than the other.

I think creating a separate page with your second keyword could help out as well.

I have a client where the second keyword is the file name of an html page, and it shows up on the first SERP page even though the home page content is different, but relevant.

Example= "www.site.com/keyword-2.html"

Agreed, do not make a big drastic change, be patient and you will be rewarded.

/fred-review/ would be fine, as long as they are a separate directory you should have no problems.

By using the open graph protocol you can control how the like/share/recommend appears on a Facebook Wall.

You could also use the term "recommend" when you create a button similar to this.

I believe that it is just a term, but if you like a link and it posted to your wall, then that is considered a "share". It is not the same as liking someone's status on FB, the link it actually getting shared to your fans or friends.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

I would even consider creating a small widget or extension of your own to be shared in your niche.

A Google chrome extension is very easy to develop, for example I created a small price quote calculator that has a link to a clients site. Although there is no link juice from this extension, it creates a small amount of traffic and is a feature to advertise to their clients.

Whats the point if the followers or fans aren't really interested in the content. A better way to earn facebook and twitter followers would be to run a contest or sweepstakes.

Then when you build the fan base, write interesting content that will keep them there.

If the content is relevant, then I think it is a good idea.

What about writing a guest post for a blog about your product? If the topics are similar, it may be a benefit to the blog you are writing with to introduce yourself to their fan base. Explaining why you are writing and how you can help them might be worth the advertising and word of mouth over the eventual link.

Pascal,
chrwald is referring to a 301 redirect, which is safe for seo and should not result in an infinite loop. I've done this myself to redirect the .index.html to the root so that duplicate content would not appear.

Hmm, no big changes for myself, although I noticed a shift for some of the other results. Interesting, thanks for your update.

A 301 Redirect removed any duplicate content errors that were showing in the crawl report, maybe redirecting the old site to the new site this way would help.
