Windows IIS7 Hosting Companies. Who to use?
-
What are the best windows hosting companies for SEO?
We would prefer to have the following environment:WINDOWS based server, using the IIS7 webserver, running Classic ASP (not ASP.net!!)
They must allow 301 Redirects (sitewide non-www to www and specific urls)
I usually use linux based hosting so I am a little new to Windows hosting.
Looking for a little help.
Thanks,

Im not sure how you will handle 301 without access to IIS itself. Is there a reason why you want IIS7? If you can run apache with "classic asp" then would that work for you:
http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html
I personally use rackspace. If you know how to install everything then the cloud sites with 1GB of rank would do good for you which runs about 50 bucks a month.

What platform is Moz using for this forum?
Just wondering if Moz can share which platform they're using for this forum? I really enjoy using it and would love to build something similar on our company's website, since it would definitely help our community initiatives and SEO. Cheers!

Do you use interns in your company/agency?
I was reading a CNN article about interns at the White House and how much it costs them financially as the position is unpaid. Recently there was a story re a Bank of America intern who had died after working 72 hours straight - I did not read up on it and have no opinion, but interns are in the news. We use interns regularly and we only use paid interns. The rationale behind it is that we are not looking for free labor, we are looking for bright people who want to learn and contribute and if they are going to contribute, why would we not pay them. Secondarily, whenever I have been in a place where the interns were not paid, they seemed to be in charge of coffee and donuts. (And that's my job.) We want to have them teaching and learning from day one. We place real client issues in their hands and we are very serious about it. The work is always checked by a senior staff member, but I never cease to be amazed by what they can produce when you believe in them. We recently had 6 heading back to college or HS and we put on a crepe party with a local creperie in our offices. It was a huge success. It was funny to see a couple of other marketing firms that know us come out within a day or two with how they are looking to hire interns. As I looked at those and others, I found several large agency types stating they take interns but they are not paid and mainly because of the superior experience, etc. So, if you have interns do you pay them or not and why? I am not looking for anything around right or wrong, I am trying to let you know if you are diligent in hiring them, you will be astounded at what they and you can achieve.

Appropriate use of the NoIndex tag
If you have multiple domains with the same content and you link them together but hide the title/metas in the noindex tag, does this pass on link value while dodging the duplicate content issues? Look at teh source code of some of these domains: chambrelatwilliamsburg.com, thekenwoodoflakeview.com, thehallmarkofcrevecoeur.com, thedevonshireoflisle.com and theheritage-raleigh.com I had never seen this before and I was wondering if it is an "o.k." tactic to employ and if there is any value in linking this way (are the links passing any value)? Any thoughts?

Doing SEO when using location is not an option
When doing SEO for a company that does not have a specific location (they are an online-only retailer), and doesn't want their manufacturing location given, what is some advice on other great SEO tactics that will help counter the disadvantages of not using anything location-related (Google Places, directory submissions, etc). Obviously backlinking and on-page optimization, but in regards to the fact that Google is becoming more and more encouraging of sites that are location-optimized and listed in many records such as Places, Yelp, directories, etc., does anyone have any advice?

Website Development Company Needed
Hey everyone, I am doing some consulting work for a travel company. They are redesigning their web site from scratch. The web site is highly database driven. I am looking to hire a company that has a very good combination of skills in programming(.NET or C+), website design, and SEO. In looking for a company to work with on this, a lot of companies claim they know SEO and web site design, but it is not as easy to find a company that is also highly proficient in programming. If any of you know of a great website directory for this, or even a company or two you recommend, I would greatly appreciate any of your advice. Thanks! Jeff Ferraro
