Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This Tactic is expensive and take much time to implement.

because you need to have each mini site, hosted on different class C ip, Different TLDs, Different Whois, different GA / Adsense codes (if implemented).

mainly this tactic is kinda popular in the gambling industry

here is a couple i use

• GsiteCrawler http://gsitecrawler.com/
• ScreamingFrog http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

Hope it helps

Hi Cathy,

This is seems a good community to follow www.amazonsellercommunity.com

One good tip i can share, is when submitting your products to amazon, try to use a different/reworded description of the product.

Eric,

I found out also that you didnt choose what canonical version you want for your website.

means that ur site can be accessed threw www version and non-www version

in order to fix that

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

place it under rewriteengine on .

I just checked federalprose and its working

good to hear that

.htaccess file is evaluated on EVERY server request. So you are talking when it pulls images, CSS, JSS and all elements, the htaccess gets evaluated. ie when you have more than 400 lines in a htaccess file. the server will go through all of them to reply to the request. hence make your site load speed slow.

So you have two options when your htaccess file goes big:

• Make it Smart: you can use rewrite rules and wildcards to minimize 300 lines in a htaccess file to just couple of lines
• move the redirects to be controlled by http.conf on the server level with rewrite map. (reference: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/rewritemap.html)

hope this helps

so it wont hurt your site by having duplicate content for the same product, on your site and on Amazons

and also found this on Google Books http://books.google.com/books?id=HbO4v_V8nQQC&pg=PA69&lpg=PA69&dq=listing+products+on+amazon+guide&source=bl&ots=soRDzUU_ps&sig=6ZPW52aQXXg3J7a6cUa7URa9JVk&hl=en&ei=r7G5TbGxDZK4tgfV5oDeBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDYQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=listing%20products%20on%20amazon%20guide&f=false

Hi Goodnewscowboy,

To block the whole folder you dont need to use the wild card (*)

and I advise you to also do these steps:

1. Verify your ownership of the site in Webmaster Tools.
2. On the Webmaster Tools home page, click the site you want.
3. On the Dashboard, click Site configuration in the left-hand navigation.
4. Click Crawler access, and then click Remove URL.
5. Click New removal request.
6. Type the URL of the page you want removed, and then click Continue. Note that the URL is case-sensitive—you will need to submit the URL using exactly the same characters and the same capitalization that the site uses.
7. Select Remove page from cache only.
8. Select the checkbox to confirm that you have completed the requirements listed in this article, and then clickSubmit Request.

Cheers

Olaf,

I dont think i understood your reply,

how he asks for a domain name?

your cname will be for example abc.olaf.com

there is no documented number that is considered as a flag. but i keep my htaccess less than 200 lines

First you would like to search for blogs in your niche that will allow guest posting

you can use these queries

• inpostauthor:”guest author” {your keyword here}
• inpostauthor:”guest post” {your keywordhere}

In this case you need to use rel Canonical

Hi Mariano

A)As you mentioned Google supports up to 50,000 URLs in a Sitemap, This limit applies only to the number of URLs referenced specifically in <loc>tags.</loc>

URLs referenced as hreflang don't count towards the 50k URLs.

B) Yes try to implement the sitemaps as they are different domains.

What is the site Petsitters Plus? coz if it is i dnt see the website on the G+ page

Dear Neil,

I wish you good luck @ your Conference, here's a couple of reference for Local Results

Concerning Google Boost, I think it very valuable, here is more details about discussed by Mike @ blumenthals

Hi Nick,

I use sometimes GSiteCrawler (http://gsitecrawler.com/)

After Crawling, you can dissect your sitemap the way you want and export them

Hi Simon

I think the implementation you did on the site is confusing and wrong.

you consolidated ur au to the .com domain without specifying which folder or subdomainis the au section is.

previously because you have the .com.au in the domain Google understood that signal that this website is relevant to au visitors. but when you consolidated to the .com you need now to TELL or HINT to Google (through Google Webmaster Tools) where the whole domain that was targeting this country went.

and HREFLANG is not about Geotargeting but about the Language.

No doubt, your post about Google Docs and Fb/Twitter/SU api's its just awesome.

but imho i think these are some great content

• Whiteboard Friday between Rand and Stefan Weitz / Duane forrester (having people like stefan and duane, and "maybe" matt cutts doing a video and sharing their insights on a specific trend/problem /update its very valuable)
• Research like (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/10-illustrations-on-search-engines-valuation-of-links)
• and finally All correlation data that SEOMoz share with its community i think its very valuable

Hi,

Google is putting a closer eye the last year on Google Places.

by stuffing custom categories with keywords its not a good idea, try to use their own categories and emphasis more on increasing citation to your Google Places listings and acquire more reviews from your customers.

Your Competitors are kinda grandfathered in, but soon or later, Google will drop them or minimize/decrease its value in ranking if it look to keywordy.

Yes,

it might take time to get removed from search, but crediting the base page will start with the first crawl after implementing
