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

Multiregional SEO - different website designs
Hello, when it comes to location & language targeting, is it possible to have different website page designs for their respective regions? So let's say we have one design for www.example.com/product-1 and a completely different design for www.example.com/us/product-1? Our branding is different for the US so would ideally like to use specific US designs for US pages. Thanks,

SEO implications of network outage
Hi, Our bandwidth provider has informed us of a forthcoming network outage this weekend, the net result being that around 20 websites will be unreachable for a total of about 1 hour inside a predetermined 3 hour window.In an ideal world we would like to provide a holding page or be able to respond with a "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" HTTP code, however the complete absence of connectivity means we'll be unable to do this.Does anyone have any ideas about the SEO implications of this kind of downtime? It would be useful to know if there are any actions we can take prior to the outage that could mitigate the impact. We've considered repointing the DNS to other servers, but it's only something we'll do if the negative impact of not doing it is too great.Thanks in advance!

SEO Terms for Internal Vs External
Hey there! I am writing up an SEO plan for our company and wanted to get the groups input on the use of some SEO terms. I need to organize and explain these efforts to nonSEO people. I usually talk about, SEO in terms of "Internal" vs "External" efforts. Internal SEO efforts being things like Title Tags, Description Tags, Page Speed, Minimizing errors, proper 301 redirect, content development for the site, internal linking and anchor, etc. External SEO efforts being things like Link building, social media profile setups and posts (FB Twitter Pinterest, YouTube), PR work. How do you split these out? What terms do you use? Do you subdivide these tasks? What terms do you use? For example, with Internal, I sometimes talk about "Technical SEO" that has do to with making sure that site speed is working well, 301s are setup correctly, noindex tag etc are all used properly. These are things that different versus "On Page" efforts to use keywords properly etc. I will also use the term "Site Visibility" for non SEOs to explain the technical impact. For example, if your site has the wrong robots.txt, if you have 500 errors everywhere and a slow site, if you are sending spiders down a daisy chain of 301s, it is difficult for the key parts of your site to be found and so your "Visibility" to the engines are poor. You have to get your visibility up, before you begin to then worry about if you have the right keywords on a page etc. Any input or references would be appreciated.

We are working with a company on re-platforming our website. On a call yesterday they outlined a strategy to use 200 redirects for our top keywords instead of 301s. I am not familiar with this type of redirect and was wondering if anyone could provide some more insight.
