Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Joe,

I wont go after 2 hyphens, usually if the .com is not available i go after a .net.

But in your case, i would go with a .co

Absolutely there is no concerns with us using all Google Data.

As you know, Google has the largest market share and still their Keyword data are "estimates" of the actual searches happening each month.

but i might be in a different position if my client markets are in regions that Google is not the #1 Search engine.

I think because its a Free SEOMoz API,

So there is a restriction for the information that you can pull for this API, as stated here

"

The SEOmoz Free API can tell you:

• Domain Authority

• Page Authority

• The top 1,000 links to a page or domain, sorted by Page Authority. Stop scraping for links! Use ours for free! 

• the mozRank of the page requested

• the number of external, juice-passing links

• the subdomain mozrank

• The total number of links

• The top 3 linking domains sorted by Domain Authority

• The top 3 anchor texts to the site or page, by phrases and terms

Did you try Market Samurai Keyword Analysis Tool?

http://www.marketsamurai.com/

Grayloon,

I use a combination of Keyword tools thats starts with Google Keyword adword tool, Google insights and Market Samurai, and sometimes I use Google Instant Feature that helps also

To be frank,

We did apply, to one of our clients some microformats and did show up in the results after a month.

What i suggest you to do and might find a better response and recommendation, if you post your question in the Google webmaster forums.

It might take like a month or so,

De rien cher ami

Matthew,

Yes, but it depends the crawl rate that your website is being crawled by search engines.

I would advise removing DC and replacing with unique.

When finished, ping individual pages threw pingoat.com

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

Ok

Insert it in htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]*/)index.html?.\ HTTP/

RewriteRule ^(([^/]/))index.html?$ http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L]

Try this , which CMS ur using?

Oh yeh this is good for query strings, will not crawl non SEF URLs

So your are good

this is a sample of a Joomla Site that i have for robots.txt.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /libraries/
Disallow: /media/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /templates/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /xmlrpc/

If you need to Index your website and gets rankings, yes this is bad for your website.

This is means that you don't want any Search engine to index your website, hence, people wont find you in the search engines.

Hi Todd,

first we dont know what is the exact penalty, but it seems to me that is an algorithmic penalty.

Just for your information concerning filing a reconsideration request, Google will only look(or react) at it if your site got affected  by a manual penalty.

If your site was affected by an Algorithm then they will leave it for the algorithm to resolve it.

Yes , its temporary and ur page will be back

I advise to keep domain.com/keyword

I don't think that the transition to new URL had anything to do with the drop.

Definitely in a week your page will get back to the index, and wait for a month and bring back the high PR links.

Oh great,

Check this post by Joost de Valk, it very good guide for SEO in magento

http://yoast.com/articles/magento-seo/

he meantions there is a plugin for canonicalization.

Its not a major problem and Google is pretty smart to pick it up.

But to be safe is better to 301 redirect domainname.com/stores to domainname.com/stores/

Most of the popular CMS. have solution for this. what kinda of CMS ur using?
