Everyone has been wondering if since Bing will be taking over the Yahoo Search if the Yahoo Directory will stay.

SEO Tip of the Day: When Purchasing Your Domain Think of Wine! Better With Time
Wednesday, September 9, 2009
Domain age is one of the factors for SEO success. Domain age might not be the most crucial factor but all equal, it does matter how old your domain is. Basically, domains are like wine – the older, the better.
That is why sometimes you will want to register a domain early. You might still have no content, but if you already know your niche, more or less have an idea what your site will be about, and you already know your keywords and you can register the domain for your site. (Of course, when choosing the domain name, don’t forget to include your keywords in it if available.).

Advanced SEO Tip of the Week: IIS & URL Capitalization Can Hurt You! Badly
Saturday, August 29, 2009
So I recently came across and example where an IIS hosted website had setup urls that were ranking in capitalized fashion such as: domain.com/Blue-Widgets
This is fine an all but internal links were set to /blue-widgets & /Blue-widgets just not exactly the same fashion throughout all of the website. One may ask the search results look pretty but why this is any concern at all? We’ll the search engines treat IIS hosted pages with these capitalizations as seperate pages. Don’t believe me? Do a header check on your site that is hosted in IIS on a capitalized url and lowercase and you will get a 200 result which means OK and the search engines interpret those as seperate pages. If you check a Apache server you will see capitalization is actually set to either a 301 redirect to all lowercase or 404 which means the search engines do not treat these pages as seperate pages.

Wednesday, May 27, 2009
We here at SEOTipADay don’t really want to be a news aggregrator but today is an exception. We had been working a new blog post that was going to focus on the possibility of reaching more visitors now through higher CTR (click through rates) with the existing rankings you have. We had a big nice post about all the different ways you can “sell” your meta description, meta title tags to better increase your CTR. But the guys at Distilled (featured on SEOmoz) actually one upped us and released this a few days ago and we felt that they had better explained it then us so today’s tip is a short one as we suggest you read this article regarding what we have discussed above. It is very good!

Advanced SEO Tip of the Week: Internal E-Commerce Product Listing Link Juice Optimization
Monday, May 18, 2009
If you have taken some time to understand how search engines robots crawl your website you will realize that they crawl from top to bottom according to source code. So, in any normal e-commerce code layout of your product listing pages you will see that your product image is the first link to that product page meaning the search engines take that link as the first “vote” to that page. Understanding that is important for this advanced tip… let’s explore a little more.
Example: http://www.zzounds.com/cat–6-String-Acoustic-Electric-Guitars–2578
In this page showing 6-String Acoustic Electric Guitars I will highlight how zZounds.com is not capitalizing on their internal optimization of link juice and anchor text to their product pages.
