MozCast.com - What happened on the 27th? Hottest day of the month!
Anyone got any idea of what changed in the Algo on this day?
Cheers.

My short-term goal is to provide some at-a-glance drill-down metrics (like domain diversity or EMD influence) on the Mozcast site. That way, when something happens, people can immediately look at half a dozen metrics and see if there's a pattern across the data as a whole. No ETA on that yet, but hopefully within a few weeks.

Thanks as always for the help Dr. Pete, much appreciated! Seems like there's a lot going on with the algo at the moment, guess we're all just along for the ride. Thanks for mentioning the MozCast tool (http://mozcast.com), very interesting and a great graphic to help me know I'm not crazy haha, and a long needed tool overall; I look forward to seeing the added functionality you guys incorporate in the future.
People seem to be experiencing similar issues in my thread (http://www.seomoz.org/q/google-algorithm-update-july-30-2012-anyone-else-notice-a-major-drop-in-keyword-rankings), so I referred them here.
If you guys get a handle on what the flux is all about, please let me know or better yet blog it to the Moz faithful. Thanks again Dr. Pete.

Each day, we take the current top 10 and compare it to the previous day's top 10 (for any given keyword), and calculate a rate of change or "delta".

Unfortunately, we're not sure yet. We've had some strange data discrepancies in the past week. Long story short, there are two weather "stations" (A and B) - they usually run very closely in sync, but they've diverged the past few days, peaking on different days.
At first glance, it seems like Panda 3.9 rolled out over multiple days, like Panda 3.7 did, and may have masked some other updates. Oddly, the official roll-out day of Panda 3.9 was one of the lowest-flux days in that group. A similar pattern has happened three times in the past two months, and it's unclear why. Some updates, like Penguin 1.0, seem to be one-day, single-shot events. Others get released and adjusted over a few days.
We'll be trying to provide more analysis going forward on the MozCast Twitter feed (@mozcast) and possibly here on the blog for major events. Happy to field questions here as well, though.

I noticed a big drop on the 30th for our site, which I've asked in a question here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/google-algorithm-update-july-30-2012-anyone-else-notice-a-major-drop-in-keyword-rankings
My guess is that it's another Panda iteration combined with the Venice local update, allowing the same site, different pages to rank multiple times for the same keyword(s). But at this point I'm not sure.
A few of my pages have rebounded a few spots but have not gained any where near there original positions (most went from page 1 to page 3-4 of SERPs).
Glad to see it's not a completely isolated incident.

Linking .com and .co.uk
My client has an online ecommerce store which he is due to launch later this week. He owns both the .co.uk and the .com - the site is hosted on .co.uk and the .com domain redirects to the .co.uk The client wants anyone who visits the site from the .com to see permalinks when later going through the site as .com as opposed to .co.uk permalinks. Is this possible/any suggestions? Thank you!

International SEO question domain.com vs domain.com/us/ , domain.com/uk etc.
Hi Mozzers, I am expanding a website internationally. I own the .com for the domain. I need to accommodate multiple countries and I'm not sure if I should build a folder for /us/ for United States or just have the root domain .com OPTION 1:
International SEO | | jeremycabral
domain.com/page-url -- United States
domain.com/de/page-url -- Denmark
domain.com/jp/page-url -- Japan OPTION 2:
domain.com/us/page-url -- United States
domain.com/de/page-url -- Denmark
domain.com/jp/page-url -- Japan My concern with option 2 is there will be some dilution and we wouldn't get the full benefit of inbound links compared to Option 1 as we would have geo ip redirection in place to redirect users etc. to the relative sub-folder. Which option is better from an SEO perspective? Cheers, Jeremy0 -
Impact changing domain from ccTLD to .com
I've got a couple of clients who have an international market for their products or services. Both of these clients have a .co.uk domain. For one site the US market is the major audience, the other it's european countries. At the moment, neither of these clients have translated page or content targeted to a specific country. There are no plans at this stage to create such content. Google considers the .co.uk to be targeted to the United Kingdom. The assumption is that by changing this to .com it will increase their international reach. For both the domains, referral and direct traffic is much more diverse than organic (which as you'd expect is heavily UK weighted - but there is some international organic traffic) Does anyone have any experience making such a change? How did the change affect your international reach/visibility? Does anyone have any metrics that they'd like to share that could be used to make a case to clients? (Note, I'm not interested in how you'd go about handling the domain change - I'm happy/confident about doing this.)

Ranking UK company in Google.com
Hi all, I have a UK client with a .com domain, hosted on a US server, but the physical business premises is based in the UK. Their product is a really great product and available for export to the US. I want to rank them higher in the US, more specifically Google.com. I've helped them rank very well organically in the UK (google.co.uk) for some great terms, however they rank almost nowhere in google.com (gl=us) for the same terms, for example: In Google.co.uk they rank #3 for the key-phrase.

In Google.com they rank #90 for the same key-phrase. I've got them some great US focused links with PR coverage including MSN Cars, nydailynews.com etc. I just wondered if there was any one "golden ticket" for boosting US rankings? I've read that a physical business premises located in the US helps a lot. Can anyone confirm this and if so, would a rented PO box in the US help? The site has great social signals too, growing twitter following and many FB likes/shares etc. Any other tips/advice? Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Freelancer.com: Same Content on Different TLD?
Take a look at freelancer.com and freelancer.in. Both have the same content. I check for rel=canonical and freelancer.in has one to itself. Not to the .com version. Both the sites are indexed in Google as well. Do you think high authority sites like freelancer can get away with duplicate content?

How can I view Google.com SERPs from outside the US?
If I go to Google.com I get redirected back to Google.co.uk and search results have a UK bias. I'm trying to research the US market and have a hazy recolection of Rand demonstrating how you can add a few characters to the google.co.uk url to see US results - just can't remember what video I saw it in. Any ideas? Thanks a lot
