Whether blog commenting and Signatures in Forums with links are treated as spam by google. Your answer would help in getting my doubts clarified. Thanks in Advance

BigCommerce Website would be a huge plus. It is very much user friendly and SEO friendly. It starts with $30 per month. It is very simple to use; yet have powerful features.

We use Zen Cart. There is no problem with that. It is easily customizable.

Google has changed its algorithm in the past one week or so. My PR has taken a beating. But some keywords got good placements. Really I don't know what is happening.

Paypal is the best to go. It can be integrated quite easily. It accepts Master, Visa, American Express and Discover Card in addition to PayPal.

The links shown in alexa are not correct. There is a huge variation between what they show and what Google Webmasters show. Hence, we need not worry about Alexa. Concentrate on the content and link - both internal and external.

Someone said in this forum that Directory Posting would help. But the visible results are not determined.

Forums related to the website would be highly helpful both in link building and in gaining traffic to your website.

Submitting the same content to various articles directories are not considered as duplicate by google. Only one link would be taken by Google even with multiple posting. The purpose of posting to different article directories is that you can get a good traffic if your content is unique and attractive.

Also include Image Names and 'h1' tags.

I am handling a wordpress website for a client. It has around 4000 '404 errors'. I am thinking of redirecting it to the home page. But if I redirect, Google should not think that I am duplicating (though I am not doing). The other option is that I can request …

Press Release Submissions and Social Bookmarking would do a world of good.

I agree that length does not matter. Long Tail Keywords are little easier to get SERP ranking. Also, the conversion rate would be higher than the short keywords, though there are limited traffic. Conversion is the main difference between short and long.

BigCommerce has all the features that are needed for an ecommerce business. Also, it comes with all the SEO features. Of course it comes with money.

I believe losing ranks are quite normal with google. To keep in the same place or improve the ranking, you need to build quality links after on-page optimization. Use of automated software is not at all advisable. Just try some Press Releases. They would certainly help in bringing back to …

You can use Press Releases for getting the Keyword Ranking faster.

I find something strange about Google Indexing. More than half of the products were indexed by Google sometime back. They reduced the indexing pages and after a while (in a week), only 1/4th of the indexed pages were shown as getting indexed. But when I search for a product, even …

Most probably, it is due to spamming. The same url might have been posted many times.

[QUOTE=MktgRob;905709]Absolutely agree. I recommend to my clients that they avoid putting our press releases for every little thing. Stick to new business wins, awards, and mentions in marketshare reports by independent sources. Also, announcements of major company news (mergers & acquisitions, major executive hires, individual awards for company personnel) are …

I don't know why people are bothered about Page Rank. I don't think it is a criteria for SERP.

Create compelling contents with good English. Have your website easily navigable. Create Title Tag. Write a good Meta Description. As far as offsite optimization goes, submit articles and videos.

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GK0aQrCDEo[/url] Just submit once then focus on other things that will promote your website.[/QUOTE] The link is quite useful. Thank you very much for the info.

Deep Linking nothing but the linking of your internal pages of your products or services.

I too go in line with Fred. Quality and unique content are more important than building links though link building is also important. But one another important thing is that Google changes its algorithm often. That may also affect your ranking.

[QUOTE=akki.webmaster;955608]Yes, as kristinecage said it does generate some backlinks for you. Each of it gives you one backlink. with same article present on many sites, it wont serve you in any way to get extra traffic, which generally is the idea when you submit articles. But if google starts to …

Hi, I have analyzed and collected a few Long Tail Keywords. Is there any special technique available to promote these long tail keywords other than the usual way of doing things like Articles, Forums, etc. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

You can post in Classified Ads too. That would help.

Hi, We wish to have a separate website and integrate it with Amazon. My doubt is whether we can have a Zen Cart Website and integrate it with Amazon Store. Expect to have replies from the community. Thanks in advance.

It does happen to everyone. Don't check your ranking everyday. That would be taken negatively by google. Keep on adding fresh and unique content. Do Off-Page SEO, i.e., Link Building, continuously.

I am targeting one URL for three to four keywords. The particular URL that I am targeting is the inner page URL and not the HOME PAGE URL. Kindly offer your suggestion as to whether this is the best practice to go ahead. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

Ezine could be used to build links, build relations and at the same time helpful in building traffic to your website.

I completely agree with tiggerito.

Article Spinner software may not work well. The spinned article would give a different meaning altogether. Most of the times, you wont understand after spinning it. So, it is better you do it manually.

Yes. I agree that Google Adwords don't give accurate data. You may try IBP.
