Reg. internal followed links
I haven't heard back and would really like to figure this out. According to Google webmaster tools, the pages are indexed and crawled and I know they come up in the search results. The main menu is linked to the landing pages. Any reason why you think this may not be showing up in the analytics report? I need to figure out if I need to do something or is it just an error from the analytic tool?

Image Names
I wouldn't use spaces in my image names, just because they will get parsed out into "%20", and that will make the URL path longer and uglier. Option B is the better one of the two. The most important thing to remember here is to just be descriptive. You're already on the right path. Here are a few great articles on SEO for images. I think you might find them useful: The Definitive Guide to SEO for Images (ZDnet) Image SEO Basics - Whiteboard Friday (SEOmoz)

Dealing with theft
I also checked Whois records, but interestingly, the record I found using domaintools does not mention DMedia, but much more significantly for the site owner, it actually provides details of the Aussie registered company Lockstock Technology Pty Ltd ACN 113992322. Between the contact info that Robert provided and public records for the company, I would: Attempt to contact them in person and see if you can come to a good faith agreement to resolve the issue (either get the link in place or return your payment) Failing resolution, write direct to the company, making it clear that you are in possession of sufficient information to make it possible for you to pursue them, request that you require them to resolve the issue and that the consequence of ignoring your correspondence will be that you make a complaint to Consumer Affairs Victoria and to ASIC about their business conduct. It is amazing how quickly the involvement of Consumer Affairs, or even the threat of involving them, can suddenly improve a company's customer service in this country Run a quick search to find any citation sites where they have a profile and add an accurate review. If none of that gets you a resolution then I would chalk it up to experience and not spend any more time, effort or energy on it.

Why did my rankings drop?
I'd also updated a clients listings which meant dropping about 1000 pages of older content That is clearly a large change which should have been mentioned up front. When you drop a page from your site, you will of course lose any traffic that page generated. Even if those pages were low traffic pages, they did generate some traffic. When you say the old content was replaced by fresh content, exactly how was this change done? If you have a page named "homes currently for sale" and you update that page with new information, the URL remains the same, the backlinks remain and the overall effects should be positive. Even a normal change such as this one could have a negative impact on traffic though in a corner case such as you listed a popular address or area before, the house sold and was replaced by less popular listings. There is a lot of analytical data to analyze. How much traffic were the old pages generating vs the new pages which replaced them. How many back links did the old pages have pointing to them? Were all these pages properly redirected? With respect to links, if your client has money to spend use it on other methods of traffic generation. Pay for high quality content to be created. Pay for advertising. Pay to be entered into the couple of directories that actually make a difference. Pay for A/B testing of the site's pages. Don't pay for junk directory submissions.

About Paid Ads/links - Question
Hi Anthony, he had down more than 200 rot domains, all via natural way, with houndred of typer of link building methods, from seomoz guide, etc, but he had about 10 domains, from paid domains, he think it would be better to pay this links, and every month to cancel 1link. For example, i have 10 Backlinks from 10 different sources/paid. Now, i must build 10 new natural backlinks, and than to cancel one paid backlink, this is much better than to cancel all at a time. What do you think? if we can use for some months in the future, and with a time to cancel one by one?

What are good sources to buy traffic and video views?
What are good sources to buy traffic and video views? If you want numbers then I don't think that there are any good sources. However, if you are promoting to a specific audience then try Adwords. Most SEOs don't recommend buying traffic... instead they recommend setting a goal of who you want to target and what you want them to do when they arrive at the site - then defining a traffic source to accomplish that goal. Possible traffic sources might be Adwords, banner ads on specific sites, etc. or it could be as radical as buying a successful website.

How deep should I let my forum be spidered
Hey mate. UGC can actually be very high quality content, and subsequently I would let Google run wild through all the content. Forums can be tricky and you would want to make sure Google doesnt index any duplicate content. I would use this tool, http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html to crawl the forum. Export to Excel and then assess all the URL structures and see if it's picking up any strange parameters or duplicate content. I would block the weird paramters in Google webmaster tools, and if technically possible 301 all the duplicate content issues. The problem with restricting things in robots.txt is that you might actually block link juice accidentally. Hope that helps - my background is more in ecommerce but im sure we'll have similar site structure issues.
