Competitor Targeted Keywords
-
What is the easiest way to about and specifically finding backlink anchor text and links for specific keywords? E.G Our competitor ranks highly for the term "Army Fleece Jacket" whats the easiest way to weed out the links which hold the most weight for this particular term?

LOL. Thanks for the advice, lets see where we stand a few months from now...

To get links I would share this with bloggers/webmasters who have covered cold weather warfare, military uniforms, or military history... for commercial items where you say they are "close to military issue" you might contact the manufacturer or distributor to suggest a link, or a guest blog post. You also might be able to use Google SERP monitoring tool to watch for new content on military forums and Q&A sites for your items. Then join the conversation with some expertise. (I rarely, I never, ever, suggest the use of forums to promote content but in this situation I might give it a try. I hope that none of my friends read this. Geez, they will never let me forget it.)

This makes the most amount of sense. I will try and do this with all of our main products.

It can be very difficult to defeat an opponent by mimicking their methods.
Do something superior and blow them out of the water.
Consider preparing a best-on-the-web content page for this topic. If you sell them you should be able to talk a lot about them to prepare an article that includes: history of the army fleece jacket, proper military wear, environments of use, colors and styles used in the field, time line, materials and their function, features and their use, how the item has morphed into a broad range of commercial products, which commercial products are closest to military issue, tons of photos showing various styles, close-up photos that show features and materials, cleaning.... (I know nothing about this item so if I can think of all of this stuff you, as an expert, should be able to prepare something that is total kickass).
Attack! "Best on the web" if you want to win.

You can use the SEOMoz tool named: Open Site Explorer to check out their links, sniff their anchor text and see an estimate of their authority.

Has your site ever been targeted by malicious link building executed by a competitor?
I'm pretty sure one of my client's sites has been targeted by malicious black hat link building tactics employed by a competitor site. Over the last few weeks we've gotten 100s of super low quality spammy backlinks. No one has been doing link building, so the only thing I can think of is that competitor entered our URL into some spammy backlink building sites. Has anyone else experienced this? It's the real estate industry, so I wouldn't be surprised considering how competitive it is, but I'd love to hear your experiences.

Hey everyone! What methods are best to use for SEO campaigns working with 1 website for a company which has 2, 3, 4, or more locations in order to get keywords for their services to rank well... in all their location cities? I feel we know the answer could be any one of the below notes, however, it's always nice to learn more about what all you other SEO's are doing or have done which saw success. Please note: We have heard about building microsites on sub-domains example city.domainname.com/keyword-or-service

We have heard about building sections off the root domain such as domainname.com/city/keyword-or-service
We have heard about just pushing more content to the blog which can target a wider range of keywords and cities
We have heard about building a new site for each city location replicating the main website and swapping out content for 100% originality
We have heard about just building more and more backlinks with different anchor text using the cities in the anchor text Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from some other experts facing these same challenges!1 -
Main keyword problem
Hello Since the latest Google update our main keyword has been dropping. We employed a SEO company about 6 weeks ago and since then the keyword has dropped a couple of pages further on Google. We have been using the Remove'em site to check our backlinks and a blog this SEO company have done has appeared on the list. The DA is good but the PA is low. In the blog they have linked the exact keyword to our site homepage. Do you think the blogs the SEO company are doing will be causing us more problems? Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

Keywords with Low Search Volume under 100
Friends, Generally if you follow all the traditional White Hat SEO methods including Fresh Content how much time it should take for keywords with around search volume of 90 (per month) to show up in Page 1 in Google US. Thank you

If Google truly penalizes sites for bad linking, could my competitor sabotage me?
I am sure this has been discussed before (I am new). I am very paranoid about upsetting Google with questionable SEO practices. The white hat people sometimes claim that google will penalize you for bad linking, paying for links, buying social bookmarks etc. If this is true, could my competitor do this for my site to lower my rankings? I would never know about it until it was too late. If they can't do this to me, then what's to stop me from doing it to my own site? Maybe I am missing something here. Thanks for your input.

Lack of keyword targetting
Consider a scenario where a website has a considerably higher no. of back links than its competitors along with a greater Domain Authority, Mozrank etc. The only thing missing is keyword targeting. In such a case, rather than trying to build new links with keyword rich anchor text, wouldn't it be better to first focusing on changing the anchor text of the links that are already pointing to the website? How much impact would this have on its rankings? If the gap in back links, and the "value" of the back links is far greater than its competitors wouldn't this in itself help to change things around drastically?

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
