2 sites made - almost same day question
-
So i made 2 sites within 24 hours of each other:
babysitters-nyc.com
and
http://nanny-nyc.com/nanny has 530 pages index and babysitters only 10.
Any idea why that would happen and what the problem would be?
Thanks and happy holidays!

You're likely to have problems with the content of both of those sites. It looks like thin content that is nearly duplicate except for the search and replace of one location for the other. Google isn't going to want to return to the user dozens or hundreds of nearly identical pages. If you do a site: on the nanny site and go in a couple of pages, it says there are actually only about 100 pages indexed.
You're going to need to provide more value to the user if you want to get these affiliate sites actually ranking.

So I did a crawl test on you site via the SEOMoz tool... it pulled in 300+ pages. You can download the excel spreadsheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5yo553nkkmzm6fq/babysitters-nyc.com.csv
So definitely submit to GWMT to speed up the process... other than that just wait

Looks like it's only been about 3 weeks since you've registered the domains. You probably just need to wait a bit longer, and the other site will catch up. A couple of tips would be:
1. Explicitly create a robots.txt file. I just feel better doing this, even if I'm not add any special conditions / restrictions to it.
2. Register your sites with Google Webmaster Tools
3. Build more good quality links to your sites. 500 plus pages is a lot for Google to index for a brand new site without any authority. The more good links you have to your sites, the more pages Google will index.

You've most likely got a crawl problem. Check your robots.txt to make sure that you haven't disallowed spiders by accident (I've done it).
Next, have you submitted them to Google WMT? Submit those sitemaps and you'll get the whole thing crawled in less than a week I bet

SEO before products on ecommerce site
Our company plans to quickly launch an e-commerce site to sell religion themed banners (religionbanners.com). We'll have our products up on the site in about a week. Should I block Google from accessing the site during this period? Is there anything wrong with starting simple SEO tasks such as submitting the site map on Google Search Console prior to us having the products on the site?

New site pages are indexed but not ranking for anything
I just built this site for a client http://primedraftarchitecture.com. It went live 3 weeks ago and the pages are getting indexed as per Webmaster Tools. But I'm not seeing it rank for anything. We're adding blog articles regularly and used Moz Local for local links and have been building links in other local directories (probably about 15 so far). Usually I get some rankings, although very low, after just a week or two for new sites. Does anyone see anything glaring that may be causing a problem?

Site Structure. Which is better?
Ideally, which model is better for site structure: 1. Homepage -> Categories -> Individual Pages (See example here http://www.wordtracker.com/attachments/bead-site-structure.gif) OR 2. Homepage -> Categories -> Sub-categories -> Indicidual Pages In the 2nd model, are the individual pages too far away from the homepage?

Moving content from one site to another
I have a couple established, content rich sites with some content that I would like to move over to a new site. My question is what steps I need to take to ensure that neither my older sites nor newer sites are penalized for duplicate content. The purpose for moving the content is to add some depth to the new site for users, as well as possibly optimize it all for SEO. There is a fair amount of content involved, about 50 posts and pages per site, so I'd like to know if the potential problem with duplicate content might be serious enough that I should think twice. What do you recommend?

E-Commerce Site - Duplicate Content
We run an e-commerce site with about 250,000 SKUs. Certain items, such as a micro USB car charger, will be applicable to several different phones. Example: http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-165787-samsung-galaxy-proclaim-illusion-sch-i110-heavy-duty-car-charger.asp http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-165856-sony-xperia-ion-4g-lte-att-heavy-duty-car-charger.asp As one can imagine with so many items, unique content for each item description page can be a challenge. What would be the best way to address this on a large scale?

Link juice question
In theory: If i have a page with only two outgoing, do-follow links,
On-Page Optimization | | elgoog
and both have the same target,
only the first one will be counted.. right? Will that link pass 100% or 50% of the link juice? (if the anchor text is the same or different does not make any difference i think)0
