What should be my SEO/SMO/PPC strategy for a brand new website with new domain ?
I have a blog within the website as well. Is it better to promote internal blog or should i focus on external bogs like wordpress ?

1st you should have to focus on on-page content its mean you will make a goal of your keywords using to promote on your website, keyword selection is most important & starting point of any new website, select your keywords with 10 competitor analysis, check the keyword competition also, then use keywords wisely on your on-page content.
SEO strategy is also based on your competitor analysis, then it depends on how much juice you will put on it with your team or by yourself actually,
SMO strategy you know that most lucrative path for success in IM. definitely make facebook page, twitter account, google+1, pinterest, tumblr. these are most important for your SMO strategy. new things are picture attraction, Pinterest is used to attraction because now in 2013 image seo is most important, 2nd tool is infographics its very important nowadays & coming arena, mostly people dnt want to read full article, if you have a attractive infographics regarding your product or whatever you want to promote, its a juicy for your website
PPC is also very strong place in it, you will have to make a budget on monthly basis how much you will invest on PPC, then select which tool you want to use, in my opinion most attractive are google adwords & facebook ads,
your internal blog is good for your website updates, news, information, but also work on external blogs, they will also help to boost your ranking in serp

I think you should design your site with the user in mind while making sure that the platform you use is SEO friendly.. The whole purpose of your site will be to attract, retain, and serve site visitors, prospects, clients, etc. Then focus on the SEO of your site which will include titles, headline tags, meta info, internal linking, etc.
You can get a good idea which keywords you should be targeting for your SEO and PPC by examining your competitors. Of course, over time you will identify which keywords are working for you and which ones have value.
I assume your site isn't built on Wordpress since you referred to it as an external blog. You want to focus promotion on your internal blog since this will boost the ranking of your site overall.

THe best way is to have excel spreadsheet put all your links and titles in nested order, so you can track them. Usually Google and Bing Give you about $100 for start which is not bad for starting ppc, also keep in mind some aspects of it services are competitive and you need to invest a lot in your ppc to get result out of it. Please please please Do not go to external blogs especially like Wordpress and comment and think admin will approve you I get about 100 sapm every day and I just delete them, or mark them as spam.I also suggest watching the starting SEO from friday withe board.
Good luck with your new site

Should we remove category paths for better SEO?
We're looking to build some serious content and capitalise on long-tail keyword traffic for our sub-category pages, example for targeted keyword "designer dining tables". Example of current link: www.website.com/designer-furniture/designer-dining-tables.html Would removing the category paths help? Example result - www.website.com/designer-dining-tables More user friendly URLs and better for SEO would you suggest? The only problem is, if we removed the paths would this have a hit on our traffic? Any advice would be much appreciated. We are using Magento platform.

AJAX and SEO
Hello team, Need to bounce a question off the group. We have a site that uses the .NET AJAX tool kit to toggle tabs on a page. Each tab has content and the content is drawn on page load. In other words, the content is not from an AJAX call, it is there from the start. The content sits in DIV tags which the javascript toggles - that's all. My customer hired an "SEO Expert" who is telling them that this content is invisible to search engines. I strongly disagree and we're trying to come to a conclusion. I understand that content rendered async via an AJAX call would not be spidered, however just using the AJAX (Javascript) to switch tabs will not affect the spiders finding the content in the markup. Any thoughts?

SEO quandary advice needed
I'm in a bind, I've been working on my SEO for a while now and have finally landed on the top page for [fishing kayak reviews] in Google US. The problem is it's not the page I want to be ranked! I've recently updated my reviews component to a more robust system but the url is slightly different. Looking currently [Reviews without Images] http://www.yakangler.com/fishing-kayak-reviews is ranking in Google but I would like [Reviews with Images] http://www.yakangler.com/fishing-kayak-review to rank instead. What would be the best solution for this problem? Adjust the url for [Reviews with Images] so it take the place of [Reviews without Images]? Do you think I will get any negative impacts from this?

Content development for improving organic SEO Questions
I have a real estate web site at www.nhfinehomes.com. The site is build on a Windows Server running ASP.NET with a basic, home grown CMS. In my Google Analytic under Traffic Sources, Search Engine Optimization, Queries I see a list of over 1,000 keyword phrases that my site had ranked for. In an effort to improve these rankings, I am under the assumption that if I create original content for these terms and add it to my site, it could help improve ranks? First question, is this a valid strategy worth pursuing assuming the content is good, I use good internal linking practices and make sure not to 'orphan' these pages? Second, because my current site technology doesn't really make it easy to add content, I have figured out how to install a WordPress blog at www.nhfinehomes.com/blog (currently not up since the MySQL DB died for some reason) So am I at any disadvantage adding all this content to /blog vs. right on the primary CMS? Obviously the WordPress template is not the same as the main pages so primary nav and footer nav differ. Of course I can cross link between the two but wanted to make sure this was not going to penalize the value of this content. Third, if there is anyone with Windows/.NET optimization experience at the server and site architecture level and can help me give my site a once over, I would be most appreciative. I'm not the programmer and rely and a friend to help with that and his SEO experience is very limited. Thanks in advance.

Where Do I Start?
Each time google comes out with an update (panda, penguin) my site suffers heavily so I decided to take over my seo for my website after years of paying seo professionals, who basically never met my expectations. After runnin ga crawl Diagnostics I see that I have; 4,718 Duplicate Page Titles 1,902 Duplicate Page Content 3,469 Temporary Redirect I have no idea how to fix these issues. The 4,718 Duplicate Page Titles are hard to fix because i run a dating site and I have a lot of members who create profile so their page title is usually (members userame & Phone Dating) but i guess google considers this dupliacte page title but its not b/c the username should always be different. The 3,469 Temporary Redirect is b/c whenever a guess tries to go to a page on the site that requires them to login I use a 302 redirect to send them to the user registration page. Do i try to fix these issues or just move on to building links and adding content?
