Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It's manufacturer's representative for machine parts, so no brand recognition. Because of the nature of the business I think the main value of social media will be to raise trust & authority with links from trusted domains.

Problem with using a real name of someone at the company is that fear what I would do with it, even though they have hired me.

I'm building a site for a manufacturer where all products will be entered as blog posts. Then I have to build some awareness for the site.

What personna am I best off doing this with? Company Name, My Name, A ficticious name that works for the company, or some other?

Any Mozzers want to share thoughts or past strategies that have been successful?

Thanks for your help and I will definitely check out Relevanssi, but I was thinking of a post I saw here on SEO Moz about how to replace WP search with Google search.

I thought I saw a post at some point about how to improve Wordpress search results, but I can't seem to locate it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

link prospects

Thanks Ryan. In your experience will an SE follow  to the subcategory page if products and categories are non-clickable?

Thanks. I have a question. From main top nav, if user (or SE) hovers over Products the category menus drop down and subcategories fly out. User actually clicks on subcategory, with products, and categories being non-clickable. In this scenario, does arriving at the subcategory page count as 3 clicks, or 1?

My proposed URL: mydomain.com/products/category/subcategory/product detail

Puts my products 4 levels deep. Is this too deep to get my products indexed?

I'm doing a Wordpress project that will feature about 100 products and am thinking of using WP e-Commerce but am concerned about SEO. Does anyone have any comments on SEO strength/weakness of WP-eCommerce plugin for Wordpress?

Is there anything like Followerwonk for Facebook that I can use to look for link prospects?

Would getting local listings for the area they are actually located in affect getting ranked in other cities? Should I avoid doing this?

I have a client who operates and gets business from several cities in the same geographic area. Does anyone have suggestions that will allow him to get leads for the same service from multiple cities.

Any help appreciated.

I'm using the MozBar on FF6 and have a question about the selector next to "Root Domain" When I set it to "Subdomain", I notice that DmR and DmT are different from the root domain.

Am I looking at DmR and DmT for all subdomains (www included)?

Hi Harry,

Partial anchor text is a way that someone would link to you, not what you publish on your site. It's not something you can control or influence by what you publish on your site, beyond the general site theme.

I have a site where the canonical version is the subdomain www, with a permanent redirect to ensure this is so.

When I do a page analysis from the MozBar for the domain I see that www and *.domain are both displayed, with numbers from *.domain being shown by default in the mozbar.

Does MozBar show *.domain numbers by default, and do I correctly understand that the (higher) www numbers displayed in page analysis for www are valid and a result of my canonical strategy?

Thanks Ryan. Makes sense. I should have thought of this. I do filter internal links when using OSE, but for some reason I didn't make that connection on the SERP overlay

Sure http://www.gardnercontrols.com/

What I'm referencing is when I search Google for gardner controls below the SERP result for the company I see 610 links from 8 domains (for the root domain) on the overlay.

Why does OSE report such a high domain link total in the SERP overlay underneath each result? I'm looking at at site that I know has about 90 links domain wide and the OSE overlay in SERP reports 610

Thanks, good to know. How can I check the age of the page?

Is it worth the effort trying to secure a link if the site has high domain authority but the page I want to link to me has page authority of 1?
