Any benefit to using HeadSpace AND All in One?
Using 2 SEO plugins can actually create conflicts with duplicate tags. Yoast SEO plugin does it all for you and it is highly recommended. But about your question, disabling the plugin won't delete the configuration (I think), so you can basically re-activate it later and have everything as it was. Removing/deleting the files of the plugin most likely will remove the configuration, but you if you are using another plugin, such as yoast, you should be good. Make sure to review the entire configuration of whatever plugin you use. Hope that helps!

Have you seen an increase in your Rankings after improving your TTFB rate?
The best post/information I came across was what Geoff has written here: http://moz.com/blog/site-speed-are-you-fast-does-it-matter Under How important is Site Speed? In two words summary of Google and Matt Cutts reply is that its a factor, but a very small factor of the many factors involved in rankings. I am also interested in this question as much as you are, but in my efforts I haven't seen a noticeable change in rankings just solely related to speed, this includes TTFB and other speed improvements. Having said that. TTFB and overall speed optimization is important in conversions on your site and ultimately in providing better user experience, which is always really important. This leads to another question that you can ask, did improving TTFB improve conversions, or lower bounce rate, etc? This also is a great question, that I am curious in as well. From my end I did not have a client that was that worried, or had a horrable TTFB that I could measure and notice a difference, but very interested if someone had this effect Hope this helps

Blog on Subdomain vs. Subdirectory - Best Practices
Can Moz weigh in on this please? There is a lot of really good discussion on this particular topic across multiple threads but no clear direction. What does Moz recommend and why? The why is important and here's why. If I have a client with an established blog that uses the blog.domain versus domain/blog structure, should I be recommending they migrate to a different structure?

Nice looking ecommerce menus with featured product categories - bad for SEO due to duplicate content?
Thanks, I think I'll just leave these for now as it's only three sub categories that have the 'tripling up' of links. Appreciate you both taking the time to reply.

Inches or " Feet or ' Does Google translate the symbols?
Joshua, It's my experience that Google disregards punctuation of that sort, however, I'd use both of them on the page. I'd use "inches" in your written description of the product and the " in the technical spects of the product.

Do Search Engine Spiders Read Commented Out Content?
If you include any links in your comments, Google may crawl them, although they won't pass any link juice. Google is pretty aggressive above spidering any links they find, including unlinked URLs on a page and URLs in javascript, so I wouldn't be surprised if they crawled links in comments as well.

Too many on page links solution
The post is a couple of years old, but it's what Dr. Pete himself (the author of the post) refers to when asked about this in Q&A.

Video in iFrame
I think that's a good summation Mat. It's not going to add any "SEO" value at all, but it might be useful for users. If so, great; If not, don't do it.

Thanks for commenting Mike Definately intend to mix it up a bit but just wanted to check by how much/needed to avoid potential dupe issues. But yes will try and tailor it for G+ users so slightly different messaging and not a fax of the home page cheers dan

How to separate your - keywords - and | Brand name in the Title Tag
Hi Switch, thanks for your question! Chris is correct in that it is best practice to keep your title brief and readable, with your keyword on the front end and your brand name on the back end. I personally feel that separating the page/article title from the brand name makes the tag easier to read. As Google now truncates title tags based on the total width of the characters (vs. the number of characters), I prefer using the pipe separator for this purpose. Hope that helps!

Headers question (H1,H2..)
Sounds like nonsense to me, do they give any evidence to back this up? I cant see how you can dilute a keyword, besides linking out with the keyword. The reason people like to keep to one keyword per page, is that there is only one page title, one H1(should be only one), one url, not because more then one will dilute the other, and especially in your case, I cant see how the same keyword can dilute itself. Don't keyword stuff of cause, but you are far from doing that.
