Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hmmm.. seems to be a very common issue. How about creating script that fires the map load on a div that loads a static map image instead of the iframe by default? Then using a simple function switch that image to the iframe of the map. That should do it for the "sorry we have no imagery here" problem. If it doesn't, you could try using some kind of internal catching to get the static image and save it in your server to serve that as the "1st" image, you can then load the iframe. Hope that makes sense

Thank you guys for those useful tips

I personally never see Pinterest in my search results.  I just did a few searches for topics I like and they have awful descriptions, etc.  I don't know how many people search goole for Pinterest topics instead of just going to pinterest itself.  I do understand what you mean.

Not exactly. In a nutshell - no. But sometimes if your PR is 5 and higher it is a good sign that your site has good content and good back links from trusted sites. This is what donates to your reputation (irony)). But there is no direct connection with ranking and quantity of traffic to the site.

It sounds like you are mostly concerned about the Panda algorithm.  A site with lots of duplicate content and nothing else of value other than the duplicate content could definitely be affected by Panda.  While it is true that redirecting a Penguin hit site to another will pass on the algorithmic issues to the new site, redirecting a Panda hit site really should not.  With that being said, it doesn't make sense to do a redirect.  If the issue was that you had page after page of non-original content then noindexing that content should do the trick.  The next time Google refreshes Panda (which is usually monthly) then you should be in the good books as far as Panda is concerned.  Putting the same content on a new domain, and noindexing the duplication wouldn't really work any better IMO. However, you have to have good, useful content there in order to rank.  If all you've got is affiliate content that adds no unique value, then you're in trouble. There are things other than Panda that can affect rankings though too.  You may want to look at your analytics data and sort it by Google organic traffic to see if you can pinpoint the day of your decline.  Then, compare that to known Panda/Penguin dates. As mentioned by others, if you have been building links then you should look at the Penguin algorithm as well.

thanks alot - the issue is now solved so everything is back faster and better than ever.

This is an old question, but I'll answer.  Yes - we just set a number of WordPress sites on SiteGound.  Bought their Geek account.  Very, very happy with it so far, but am aware that the costs will increase significantly as they do draw you in a bit with their slashed pricing for the first year. Happy with the package as it is super-fast and really like their caching solution.

Doesn't Apache mod_rewrite do the trick?

Branded reports are available right now, and can be set up via campaign settings. Sorry for the confusion! We'll be updating the appropriate pages this week.

In most cases, Google sees a sitewide link as just a single vote for a site.  "Too many sitewide links" really wouldn't be the issue.  But, "too many domains with unnatural links" could cause a problem.  Here's more on John Mueller talking about how sitewide links are treated by Google: http://www.hiswebmarketing.com/are-sitewide-links-bad/

Thanks for your help. It literally was just the fact that it had to be done before the crawl began and could not be changed during the crawl. Hopefully this is changed because sometimes during a crawl you find things you want to exclude that you may have not known of their existence before hand.

Will check this, Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this usefull info, it helped me understand this better.

Just wanted to mention that it's possible that the client themselves still has the original message in their Webmaster Tools.  I have worked on some sites where even though I was given full access to WMT I could not see their messages.  But, the original site owners could still see them. Regardless, the date doesn't really matter, does it?  You've got work to do!  

I don't really think it's possible to calculate. A multiplier for one keyword will be different to another. I don't the nk there is an average figure that anyone could calculate with any degree. Peter

Thank you Bradley. I've managed to reduce my menu today to just 1 sub category per main category and it's brought the links down a lot - I'm going to see what other links I can reduce as well. I've actually got a blog (rpamx.co.uk/blog) that I will be posting regular content onto to try and drive more traffic. The blog is wordpress, I hardly use the magento cms. If you have further experience to share with magento I'm sure it will be of benefit to us all. thankyou so much for replying.
