Thanks Jim for the help. I will continue looking thorugh links and remove all those that may not comply with google's guidlines. I will probably be removing a fee too many links and will be loosking good links because of this. But I rather be safe.
I used to rank in the TOP3 for most...
Hi,
What tools are best to research the links pointing to my site? I have just subscribed to SEOmoz. It is a nice tool and I can download links pointing to my site, but I am not sure that all links are included.
I need to find ALL backlinks pointing to my site. I need to review all of them...
Hi,
My site {link to own site removed} stopped ranking as of yesterday. Some popular keywords such as: mens ties, neckties, silk ties, bow ties, etc. are now in the 50th spot area. They used to be in the top3-5.
I have no idea why this is. I have not made any changes to my site recently and do...
I agree! Blog format is great but I also think it is equally important to have some fixed pages added, updated, and/or appended occasionally. Blogs are great but the downside IMO is that content gets buried over time and link value coming from homepage.com or homepage.com/blog is loosing value.
Thanks! I read the articles/posts. Very informative. I haven't been on this forum in over a year, but these quality responses reminded me why I liked this forum to begin with. I will continue to grow my site by adding new and informative content on a weekly basis. I guess it is more about...
I wanted to start a discussion on article submission strategies. What is the thought on:
1. Using an Article Syndication service to publish one article on many different sites?
2. Do manual, and one-time submissions only. Meaning: take one article and submit it to ONLY ONE authority article...
Content is king IMO. Add fresh, new, original, and informative content to your site with some internal links using keyword specific anchortext on a regular basis. This will drive traffic.
BUT I also think it is important to submit articles. I used to submit articles with article syndication...
Yes, I am familiar with technorati's blog list. But I was wondering if there was a downloadable file that, besides the blog URL, included contact e-mail and name?
Thanks again

Hello,
Where can I find a list of blogs sorted by industry? Besides the blog URL I would need the contact e-mail address, and preferably a contact name. Is there a place I can download an XML file?
Thanks in advance for all the help and suggestions!

Hey Linda,
Thanks for the fast and informative reply. So, you don't think that changing 20-30% of all the meta descriptions cannot have a bad effect?
Also, what is the overall thought on:
- Meta Description Length
- Keyword Density
Thanks again,
HP
Hello,
I was wondering how important the Meta Desription was for Search Engine ranking.
My website(s) have pretty good ranking (top3) for most of my keywords, but I don't like the meta descriptions very much. I initally wrote them with having the search engine in mind and not the visitor...
Hello,
I am thinking about making an offer for an existing domain. The site is over 10 years old, has a ton of relevant and high quality back-links and some very good ranking and organic traffic.
The site won't be cheap so I want to educate myself as much as possible beforehand.
How do...
Great,
Thank you for all the helpful advice. It looks like I was a little off on some of the things. I think you are right. My meta tags may be written a little too much for the Search Engines which may harm the CTR.
By the way, other ways to improve CTR could be to add google checkout as...
Hello,
I have done lots of work on SEO on my websites over the past year and am getting good ranking for most keywords. I am almost top 5 for all of them.
But, as you guys may know, there is no second place. CTR on #1 spot is much much higher than #2. I have seen #1 getting a 40-50% CTR...
Hey Gearhead,
Thanks for the suggestion. I am checking yahoo site-explorer as well, and also use SEO Quake for a firefox plugin.
What I was hoping to create was a spreadsheet with all my competitors backlinks, including:
- location of backlink
- anchortext used
- PR of the page backlink...
Hello,
I am sure many of you are aware of backlinkwatch.com - a site that shows a site's backlinks including the anchortext and the number of outbound links from that page.
I am looking at my main competitors and was wondering if there is a way to download such a report into a CSV file - so...
Hello,
I am building a another online retailer and wanted to get some thoughts on proper title tags, meta descriptions, and meta keywords
I know what keywords I want to rank for and am building the site and all the category pages accordingly.
My questions are:
1. How many keywords to...
Hello,
I know that there is some debate on how google views and treats DC. I have a few writers that help me write articles for article submissions as well as write content for one of my sites.
What is the best way to check for duplicate content? So far all I have been doing is copy and...
Thanks for the post. My site has pretty much the same ranking when comparing google to bing for all my major keywords.
What is the main difference between the search algorithm? What value does bing give to onsite stuff like title and meta tags? What value does it give to links (onsite and...
