SEO Radio Thursday (Randy Ray - Michael Martinez)

[Jeremy]

Hey guys,

I'm happy to let you all know that the SEO Radio show is indeed going to take place tomorrow (Thursday). We have also confirmed both Randy Ray and Michael Martinez will be on the show answering YOUR SEO questions.

Below are a list of questions already submitted, however this is your last minute chance to submit any question or discussion topic you'd like to hear these experts discuss. Just post them here in this thread.

Likewise, the chat box will be open for questions during the show, or you are more than welcome to call in to the studio line during the show. Without question, this is going to be one of the best radio shows we have ever done.

DMOZ Discussion - Value of link - Getting Accepted

Directory Listings - Good or Bad?

Google PR, then and now - how important is it?

Discussion on rel=Nofollow

When manually translating your website is it better to use a category for each language or a subdomain?

What are the best places to get free links?

What would 'best practice' look like for launching a new site as far as effectively avoiding (or at least limiting) any 'sandbagging' type effects??

Where is SEO going in terms of usage data / social media / LSI et al becoming part of the ranking algorythm in addition to links?? Meant to be a broad question on how the industry looks like evolving.

I have seen people use the 'title' tags within their links - so that you get wording when you hover your mouse over them... what is your opinion on the use of these and relevance to ranking? spam? useless? marginally helpful??

(tounge in cheek question)... Is SEO an art or a science??

How to get a double listing? Talk about meta data/title for both pages (i.e., how similar/different do they have to be. Can they be identical?)

I'd like to know if you picked up an old domain and then later found out that it had a lot of what look like spammy links coming in to it, would it be best to not use it and find another? IE if it is in a bad neighborhood in a previous life, what steps should you take if you do decide to build a site on it.

I would like to hear a bit about interlinking your own sites and how it will impact your rankings. I know there are people who do a lot of interlinking (sitewide links and stuff like that), while other people don't seem to do much

Great, cant wait for the show!

Me too, working late at the office so I'll catch it live (though I could call the 800# while I sit in traffic anyway).

[CoolDog]

I'd like to know what the guys think are important on-page SEO factors.

I'm looking forward to this, just now deciding what intro music to have. Something tells me a show with Randy featuring Kanye West as the opening jam doesn't mix very well!

[Randy Ray]

I think Michael likes salsa, while I am partial to outlaw country.

[Brandon]

Wow what an amazing show! If that show doesn't motivate you I don't know what will...

Thanks again to Michael and Randy, we were thrilled to have you and you guys knocked it out of the park!
