Domain name SEO
-
I would like to hear your opinion about which between robotics.kawasaki.com and www.kawasakirobotics.com is more effective for SEO of keyword robotics and kawasaki.
We have been using kawasaki.com domain name for more than 15 years.

As with the previous comments, I would of suggested sticking with Kawasaki.com as it is already a world reknowned brand. However I can see that kawasakirobotics.com is already a live entity.
If you are going to stick with the two domain names, make sure that you point a couple of links back from the brand name to pass a little authority. Then maybe work on getting the robotics brand out there with a bit of a link building campaign to other releveant robotic and manufacturing based websites.
Hope this helps a little.

I agree with paints here. The domain you have been using for so long you should exploit in such a case.
My opinion on the two would definitely go to kawasakirobotics.com but imho I would also choose to exploit the other domain option. Think about the effort you have to put into it to get the same kind of result and values for a brand new domain.

In that case I think, I would chose _kawasaki.com/robotics _
To get the citation/trust or however you would call it from your 15 yrs old domain - instead of starting a new one, wich would be the problem in both of your options.

Domain forwarding or redirects for SEO?
Hi all! A client of mine owns several top level domains which are not in use, let's call them example.nu, example.de, example.net and so on. The current website is example.com.

When checking the technical status of the unused domains I realized that all but one are forwarded (via DNS) to example.com and only one has a 301 redirect. Should I redirect all of them by means of 301 or let them stay forwarded? Very few of the domains have any other sites linking to them. Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Jesper0 -
Express js and SEO?
Hi fellow Mozzers, I have been tasked with providing some SEO recommendations for a website that is to be built using express.js and Angular. I wondered whether anyone has had any experience in such a framework? On checking a website built in this and viewing as a GoogleBot etc using the following tools it appears as though most of the content is invisible: http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php http://www.browseo.net/ Obviously this is a huge issue and wonder if there are any workarounds, or reccomendations to assist (even if means moving away from this - would love to hear about it)

Questionable SEO
Chess Telecom appears first when you search for 'business phone lines' in the UK so I used a campaign to check them out. It seems they've got tons of unrelated links and using comment spamming to increase their ranking. Along with fake twitter accounts and other things. Search for 'jewel jubic chess' and you'll see what i mean. I assumed this wasnt a good idea and been trying to get my link on relevant websites only. Any comments or suggestions? Should I simply trust that google will hopefully punish them eventually? Or should I be fighting fire with fire? Thanks Dan

I have never heard of that before and my client now wants Quantcast back on their website. Has anyone heard of this problem with Quantcast?

Domain redirect
Recently we launched a site under a new domain, the site is doing well under the URL. Client calls me today and would like to have another domain he owns point to the new site. The domain he has has no history and no content. He is under the impression that people are looking for him by typing in www.domainxyz.com. I attempted to explain otherwise to him, but I lost. Question, what are the drawbacks of taking this domin and doing a perm redirect via . Httpaccess file?

What if my brand name is my keyword?
Referencing the new 'over optimization' penalties.. What if your company name was "Buy a Burrito" and your website website was buyaburrito.com (not a real site), and your main keyphrase was "buy a burrito". Will Google treat all Branded Terms as exact or phrase match keywords and penalize you?
