Nope. iFrame is a link juice free zone.

That's really great!

Is your own shortner really necessary? I can't imagine it is.

I did this accidentally as well recently and had 100% of my products disallowed from google shopping within 48 hours. Sounds like it's not an option. They need the crawl your images folder to make sure you have valid images in you product listings.

I like that a lot! Can you rewrite product descriptions without maintaining separate databases? Would that involve a custom field or something?

I kinda figured that was the case.

I know it is going to be more complicated then setting the market in WMT. Any specific advise around geo targeting for e-commerce?

Is hosting on a US server a problem if we were going to launch a site in the UK?

I have a client who has 3 ecommerce sites. They are somewhat differentiated but for the most part sell the same stuff. Luckily 2 of them are quite authoritative, old and rank reasonably well.

Most of the visitors and sales come from the US. He wants to start targeting Europe, Mexico and Canada.

What are your suggestions for doing this? Are we better targeting on the main domains? Not really sure how to do that?

Should we use a subdomain and a new store front for each geo?

Should we use a .co.uk .co.mx and .co.ca each with a unique storefront?

It looks like we are moving to a Magento platform so setting up multiple storefronts on a single database is not a big issue.

Anyone have any experience with this?

If you can get a really good relevant domain then go with that, but a hyphenated domain is not really good. I personally have found that I would rather go with short and easy, given the absence of good keyword domains.

SEO can't be my only strategy, especially for a new site, so being able to tell people about my site verbally and them find it easily is more important to me.

As I understand it nofollow still dilutes your link juice even though it does not pass PR (theoretically).

Google made this announcement to combat PR sculpting in 2009. Here is a post from Rand about it.

Unlsee something has changed that I am not aware of you could link in an iFrame and Google will not see it, nor will it dilute your PR passed out.

There is no search operator, but you can access the cached version in the search results. Just search "url:websiteurl.com" then click the arrow > and it will open up options for the page. There is a link to view the cached version. See the pic below.

The site: search operator works just like it does in Google on Bing!

Yeah I just feel like if SEO people put half the effort they put into tricking Google, into doing SEO the right way and creating value that they could have one hell of an SEO product.

What you are essentially looking to do is create web spam.

It seems like a lot of effort for something that may work for a whille but will almost surely be figured out eventually and doesn't bring any value to your clients.
