What are your go to SEO & Marketing forums?
-
This is more of a starting point for a discussion than a question, but I am hoping your answers will be of interest to most of the readers.
Apart from SEOmoz what are your favourite forums and blogs for SEO and internet marketing news.
Do you also read non-web marketing blogs?

I am a fan of inbound.org because of its simplicity and often pop in at searchenginewatch.com because of the variety of content provided.

Because I'm staff and Q&A is one of the main parts of my job, this forum is obviously the place in which I spend the most time. After that, my must-read is Search Engine Roundtable. Barry watches many of the forums and will gather the best tidbits and write about them on SER. I scan inbound.org and my twitter feed for interesting information.

What are the SEO challenges associated with private search engines, like DuckDuckGo?
I read recently that DuckDuckGo doubled in size in 2017. With their search engine, and other alternatives to Google, taking part of the search market away, how can SEO/Marketing/Web pros keep their websites optimized and get traffic from these private search engines? (Also, do any of you have experience with this? What portion of your search traffic is coming from private search engines?)

Can someone explain this about Etsy/Pinterest SEO?
Hello Moz Wizards, Could someone help me out with this? It's not related to my own site's SEO...but maybe you have some perspective on how Etsy and Pinterest do SEO... The issue is this - until recently, I was certain that individual stores/listings in Etsy (maybe Pinterest too) did not show up search results apart from the meta Etsy listing. Now I'm seeing competitors on Etsy show up as separate search results - not via their own websites, but their actual store or listing within Etsy. How is that done? I don't ever recall that happening, as I thought Etsy controlled the SEO access to their stores/listings. More importantly, how can I do that? Thanks for any insights you may have. Sharon

Are there any clear, significant differences between Google SEO and Yahoo/Bing SEO?
I have a client who is very focused on getting ranks in Yahoo! Convincing him that focusing on Google is much more important isn't going to happen. He uses Yahoo! He ranks very well in Google, and his site is relatively well-made with no glaring on-page issues. His backlink profile is also not an issue. I'm trying to find ways to rank specifically for Yahoo! since we're ranking well in Google and the client cares a ton about Yahoo! I know Yahoo! uses Bing's algorithm, but results aren't identical in the two engines. Does anyone know of big, glaring difference in the two algorithms that would result in great Google ranks, but almost non-existent Yahoo! ranks? I have him in Bing webmasters, his local SEO and citations are good, his backlink profile is good, and his on-page is decent.

Avvo.com: Are links in the contribution area bad for SEO?
Hello all and thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am struggling with a client of mine. I have done just about everything that I can think of that has worked on other sites. Banging my head up against the wall here. He is VERY active in the contribution area of Avvo.com (answering questions and making guides). His site use to rank very well but now it can't be found at all. One of the things that caught my attention is the way he would leave his citation in his answers for AVVO. He would leave a direct link to his website. Since his rankings have dropped I have advised him to stop. Do you think Google is treating them as spam? His link profile is small >1000 links but half of them are from AVVO I was wondering if anyone else any experience with this? Thanks in advance

Are forums dead?
Well, maybe that isn't the best way to word this questions as I am sure it varies by topic but generally speaking what is the consensus on forums, are they worth continued development? As part of several sites our team manages we have seen our forum traffic slowly die out in recent years. Last year we did a redesign and simplified things for better user experience and we have seen a bump in traffic this year but that has not translated into conversions. As more blogs, social media sites, etc. continue to gain in popularity it seems as though forums are starting to fall back a little. Would love to hear your opinions though.

Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?
