          Can anyone recommend a good external sitemap generator (that is not also a tool owned by a search engine)?

          I'm looking for a reputable tool that is independent of Google, Yahoo!, Bing, etc that will crawl, index, report problems, but also that will submit to the search engines. Would love to hear what other Mozzers recommend!

              You mentioned you did not want to use one provided by search engines.

              This is by far the best list of both web-based and server side sitemap tools I have found to date,

                        Have you already tried www.xml-sitemaps.com ? It will crawl and generate a sitemap in whatever format you want.

                        However, in terms of reporting problems I've found the SEOmoz crawler and related tools to be invaluable.

                        You can save your sitemap in xml format from the above site, and use that to submit to search engines.

                              Should I buy an expired domain that has already been redirected to some other website? Can I use it or redirect it to my own site if I purchase it?

                              I was going to purchase an expired domain but then I came to know that it has been redirected to some other website. I have two questions: Can I build a website around this domain if I purchase it? and will the Domain Authority remains the same ? Can I redirect it to my own site? and will all the Link Juice flow to my site?

                              Confused About Potential Spammy Inbound Link

                              I unsure how my page got backlinked on this "passive DNS" website: http://pdns.daloo.de/search.php?alike=0&q=66.96.162.137 This looks to be my only inbound link, so I am  worried this is negatively affecting my site ranking. Is this 56% spam score link negatively affecting my website? If so, any suggestions? Any feedback or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am very ignorant to what this person's webpage is about and why my page was linked.. Sincerely, Hayden My website: https://cashflo.org/

                              Yelp (recrawl Google/Bing)

                              If Google and Bing show an older version of a site's Yelp rating in the search results, what options are there to help ensure Google and Bing recrawl the Yelp page? Additionally, it appears third-party sites such as MapQuest show Yelp ratings and appear in Google search results; is it possible to request MapQuest to recrawl Yelp and then ask Google to recrawl MapQuest? Any advice would be much appreciated!

                              I want to hear the opinion of other Marketers My main goal is found a place where I can get an integral knowledge, not just SEO or PPC or whatever. Simplilearn offers a Master Program called "Digital Marketing Specialist"
                              Which cover this areas Advanced Web Analytics

                              - Advanced Social Media But also they have available other related topics such as Email Marketing Conversion Rate Optimization I know there are some ones that are mandatory and FREE
                              and for me this are not a big deal, because all the documentation
                              is available for everyone Google Analytics > Data Analytics

                              What is your Biggest SEO selling point to prospective clients?

                              Typically, our SEO questions are around "how to's" and etc. So, to change it up I will ask a business question: What is your biggest selling point when presenting your SEO services to a new client? In a spirit of transparency, I will tell you mine ahead of time. With PPC, TV, Radio, and Print at some point in time that ad comes to an end. When it ends, that is it. There is no residual from that advertisement - or very minimal at best. With SEO, once you are ranked well and well optimized you continue to get clients for a much longer period of time. With clients who TV and print, this rings especially true and is easily provable. I can't wait to hear yours.
