Customizing Search Engine Searches
-
In the article, "Long List of Link Searches", Rand recommends:
"At Google and others, it often helps to show 100 results per page and have the maximum "grouping" of results from the same site. That way, you can find all of the most relevant pages on a particular domain with ease."
Can someone please share with me just how to customize the various search engine views this way?

There are a couple ways you can do this, Ahmad, but they both require that you have turned off "Instant Results" in your search preferences.
Click on the small gear icon on the top right of the search results and on the dropdown select Search Settings.
In the second section under Google Instant Predictions, select Never show instant results.
Right below that you will now see an active slider that lets you select up to 100 results per page instead of the default 10.
Once you're done, hit Save at the bottom of the page.
A few tips:
- if you are logged into your Google account when you make these changes, they will "stick" until you go back in and change them.
- if you aren't logged into your Google account, the changes will apply until you close the browser. The next time you open the browser to search, you'll default back to the regular settings.
- if you just want 100 results very occasionally - as long as you have Google Instant turned off, you can leave the number of results per page set at 10 as normal. Then when you want 100 results for a particular search, just add &num=100 to the end of the URL that shows in the address bar after you run the initial search. (you'll need to re-add that manually for each additional search)
Make sense?

Making a custom web directory
I am wondering if it is beneficial to launch a social bookmarking website based on Semantic Scuttle [http://semanticscuttle.sourceforge.net/demo] in order to gain inbound links. For the sake of example, say my industry is ebooks. I would of course add links to all of my products to the site. In addition, I would want to add links to competitors products to the site to make the site actually useful and not look like spam. On the face of it, is this a good idea? Secondly, I of course wouldn't want to be helping out competitors, so would any of these actions be advisable? add nofollow links to all links except those pointing to my site. ads or featured listings pointing to my links. I make it so only voted on links are dofollow. Thus, competitors could actually get links from my site. Naturally, I would vote on all my submissions. The idea of the site would actually be to provide a meaningful service. Once it's done I would want to get people linking to it. Any advice? Thanks! Edit: I added scenario #3 which I think is probably the best option, if this is even a good idea. I would also make some static content to really make this a good resource!

Internal Linking and Related Search
Hi there, Is it a bad idea to use Google related terms when creating internal links? For instance, if I search for 'printing companies chicago', there are at least 3 terms related to our organization and what we provide that appear at the bottom of the search results. Searches related to printing companies chicago reliable printing companies chicago

chicago business card printing
chicago printers Just curious if anyone uses this type of research to build out pages? And create internal links? Personally, I am seeing people search for services we offer in different ways - that alone makes me think it should be a major part of our internal linking. Looking forward to your feedback!0 -
Customer testimonials and customer profile article guidelines?
I want to help people who give testimonials by writing an article about their business including a good quality link. This will be on the site that received the testimonial, possibly linked from an our customers page. I want to make each customer profile testimonial into a separate page. I don’t want to compete with the customer who gives the testimonial for their keyword phrase but I do want to boost their page rank if possible. What would be the best formula for title tag, headline and linking keywords etc?

Building separate pages for local searches
I found one of our competitors developed URLs for every state in the US. They linked all these sites back to their site and they are ranking very high for each of these states. Here are 2 examples http://metalbuildingsmississippi.com/ #1 for "metal buildins mississippi" http://metalbuildingsoklahoma.com/ #3 for "metal buildings oklahoma" these pages don't even have a PR. Would you recommend doing the same with my site, writing unique content for each URL and building links?
