Been on the Internet since before there was an Internet. Remember UUCP, news feeds, and Gopher?

comment Is it okay to redirect all mobile users to a mobile coming soon page?
Please don't. Smart phones already do an excellent job of supporting non-mobile web pages. Leave choice as most "mobile aware" designs actually do a far worse job of presenting your website than a properly designed computer browser user interface. Leave the decision up to the user as to whether they want a supposedly better "mobile" web version or your standard website.

comment What's the maximum length of the meta kewords tag?
Abused by Dumbhat SEO specialists, so any search engine worth its salt ignores the piece of spam. We actually had one SEO specialist call up last week all breathless because one of the major problems with our site was that we have no Meta Keyword tag. We repurposed the table entry as a search source internal to our CMS software search function. The moment any SEO specialist mentions keyword meta tags is the time to demand they never call back and hang up the phone.

comment What's the maximum length of the meta kewords tag?
Huge list which is no optimization. For SEO to work, the tag must be used and search engines pretty much dumped keywords meta because of Dumbhat SEO keyword stuffing. The beginning of the end back in time was when porn sites started using Oshkosh bgosh as a keyword.

comment What time does Googlebot crawl sites
Around the clock. With the whole world and many timezones, common sense says that it's a continuous operation open to any server resource Google has available. If you want to control when on your server, sign up for Google Webmaster tools.

comment Will moving Images to CDN effect Google Image search results?
Not if you do it right. Basically, set up a webserver entry in Google Webmaster Tools, point it at your media subdomain and in our case, we found that it increased the number of images Google found to be relevant for search.

comment Percentage of users that get to business website by searching vs typing business url into address bar
What's being asked is a "Closing the barn door after the horses got out" type of scenario. Google Analytics being used over this time could have provided it. If the owner was saving log files for this period of time, same thing. It's difficult to find out after the fact and after the data has expired out.

comment Unimportant words on page being seen as keywords, due to repetiveness
Write for your customers, not robots. Google understands natural language and the need for giving the customer useful information.

comment What is wrong with the seo of my site?
Too much SEO can bury you as much as none at all. Create content for your audience, not a robot. And KEEP IT FRESH!

Not all search engines observe Crawl-Delay entries. Yandex has a webmaster tool that allows you to set site scanning restrictions if you don't want to block traffic outright and lose Yandex as a search engine.

comment Do navigation menu links negatively impact SEO for pages' content?
Quit designing websites for robots and pay attention to designing them for humans. Any search engine that doesn't understand this rates pretty low on the radar. Google/Bing both understand natural language and click flow paths and the need for them.

comment Do we really need Google Analytics for better SERP positions?
Online SEO information contains quite a few cargo cult memes, the problem is sorting out all these rumors and identifying them as such. This is one of them.

comment Fake Links Cause Crawl Error In Google Webmaster Tools
Don't ever expose any log statistics publicly as you will then attract referrer spam. Spammers can automatically create links on your site with these type requests. Once your site publishes these log statistics links, you inadvertently and falsely acknowledge a relationship exists to garbage site and then your SEO ranking can go down the tubes. Some things can be done with .htaccess and/or mod_security to help knock some of the edge off these. If there's no search function, give a 403 access denied through these means.

comment Why the estimated earnings in my Google Adsense is zero since this month?
When your revenue depends on it, contact your revenue source. Google Adsense is more likely to pinpoint what is going on.
