What's on your ultimate online marketing wish list?
-
Hi everyone! I'm one of Distilled's new online marketing analysts and will be writing my first blog post for them right before Christmas! I'm thinking about writing a post that combines the holiday spirit with what we all wish Google would give us. So fine people of Moz Q&A, tell me, if you could have anything from Google, no matter how ridiculous, what would it be and why? Any great quotes may even be featured in the blog post itself and attributed to you! Thanks everyone and happy Friday!

adwords- I would love a compare date range view in adwords like they have in analytics
-
A Google tool that has the option to allow webmasters to manually approve EVERY SINGLE Link. Or it will not count towards rankings.
-
Authorship as a ranking signal! (See here)
It's inline with the algo's focus on high quality content and "users will like x because they loved y"

Absolutely keyword data!
Also, I've always wanted a better third party traffic measuring system. Everyone here knows that the services like Alexa, Compete, Quantcast, etc. all vary widely in the numbers they report and are oftentimes woefully inaccurate when comparing the data to a site's internal analytics. And considering these companies are able to make millions off of their services, I think it would make complete financial sense for Google to enter this space. And I have no doubt they could dominate the market immediately since they pretty much know everything about every person as well as the majority of websites, so their data would be much more accurate and reliable than anyone else's.

Oh, and a button to click "give me no personalization, localization (beyond my country), bias, inference, or voodoo magic in my results"!

Anything from Google? A million dollars!
But seriously, I second Keri's post. I would very much like my keywords back. I can manage without them myself but management doesn't exactly like that I can't magically turn [Not Provided] into actually provided. I'd also like the previous AdWords Keyword Tool back. Its not that the current Keyword Planner doesn't work fine... it just feels like they've cut out a bunch of functionality for no good reason.
And from the more personal and non-search/marketing/etc. side of things... I would like Google to send me a free pair of Google Glasses except I want the earbud attachment on the left side because I have impaired hearing on my right.

I'd love our keyword data back!
More exact numbers and fewer estimates/ranges in things like GWT.

Unlimited budget would be very helpful.
I know this is not helpful for you but free adwords would make life much better and a high end marketing team combined with full stats of all my competitors.

Is there a way to get a list (backlink profile) of all tiny url's that point to my site or a competitors site?
I have noticed that most all links you find in all the major back link profile tools such as OSE or GWM, etc... do not show tiny url's. If there is a service that shows all the tiny urls pointing to your site, can someone please share. It has already been proven that tiny url's do pass link juice, so with that being said... if there is no way to find all the tiny urls that point to a site, wouldn't it be a great strategy to create all my back links with tiny url's to mask my profile from competitors? Thanks!

Is there a Step by Step Online Tutorial for SEOing?
Hi People I know this sounds like a real dumb question, but hey! I thought I would ask. I am a newbie, and after continuously spending $165.00/day for my PPC adwords campaign for the last 5 years, I MUST get my site naturally ranked higher. So as a newbie; yet understanding the basic principles about SEOing, I searched High and Low for an accredited course, an educational programme or anything that looked structured, and had a distinct step by step structure, and to my amazement I couldn't find much. I did find Dan Thiess' online guide, the SEOMOZ guide, and a few other bits n pieces. It appears that SEO learning is all over the place. I couldn't find any courses at the local universities either! So I thought...well what does it take to become an SEO consultant if there's no real formal qualification as such? And my answer was...Experience and proof of experience! That is, a consultant of who has been around for quite a few years and can prove to potential customers that ... hey you see this website www.????.com notice how it's ranked #1 ? That's because of me! So I thought, I would post this question to the forum and 1. See if there is some formidable training course with a valued and recognised qualification upon completion? 2. If I am able to work for a consultant at no charge to them at all in exchange for their knowledge. I have a wealth of experience in business and people management, and Yes I do have some Web Development and IT experience. But I know to some consultants this is a big ask, so I thought I would put it out there! (you never know until you ask.) In the meantime if anyone could possibly guide for a step by step program...that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers George

Has anybody used Yext or Universal Business Listings as an automated approach to getting clients into all of the many directories? If so does it work? Or does Google penalize in using these automated services?
I'm trying to figure out if using either Yext or Universal Business Listings is worth it. They have reseller programs for SEO agencies. I just am curious what other SEO folks think of these services as I'm considering using one of them to automate and save time for clients. If you go to Yext.com or universalbusinesslistings.org you can see these. Curious what others say about these. Thanks

Help settle an argument pls - are local results 'organic'?
Hi y'all. Hoping you can help give some definition here to organic results as I've inadvertantly started an argument in a forum when I was suggesting to some soul in need of advice that he needed to concentrate on the two types of SEO, those being Organic AND Local search results. So the argument started that Local search IS Organic, and results are classed as either Organic or Paid. Though to me, the term 'organic results' represents the search results derived from googles main website indexing algorithm, Not Paid, and not any of the Verticals (Local/News/Images/Video etc.) So would love to hear what others views are... if I'm totally wrong I'll go back and graciously accept my education 🙂

Is Bing actually using Yahoo's search engine now?
All my Bing rankings are now the same as Yahoo's ranking were, but I expected the opposite. Meanwhile, my Yahoo rankings are exactly the same as they were last week.

Google API's
As you may know Google has API’s http://code.google.com/more/ I can see ones for Blogs, News etc. but not for general search am I being dense? If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Justin
