Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Are you getting these results when logged in? Or logged out of you Google account. I have found that some times you see crazy data when you are logged out, yet when you log in the data seems a lot better.

I would base this on the number of pages and your ability to get into the database of the CMS environments.  Depending on how deep your link structure is, this may be a quick process.  If you are able to map the fields correctly, you can duplicate the aliases with a little elbow grease.  Simply export the main drupal content table and reconstruct it as a wordpress table, then upload. If you don't feel like handling the MySQL for this, I would still recommend duplicating the aliases... 301's are very useful, but it does seem like their is a small bit of decline as the SE's reset your info. Do keep in mind the your page code will also need attention.  Drupal vs Wordpress in its rendering will produce different code.  Your SEO capabilities are also going to be effected by the plugins that you are using in WP

Hi Francois, I'm looking at older questions that are still unanswered, and wondering if you're still looking for advice, or if you took some action here. Really interested to hear what happened with this site!

I republish article content from other websites.  This is always done with permission and often the other sites ask me to do it because they have a message that they want to place in front of my visitors.   I value this content because my visitors consume it. Unfortunately these pages do not perform well in search even though I optimize them so that they do not directly compete for the same keywords as the origins.  Why? There are usually several other sites with the same content. And they compete with each other in the SERPs and share the search traffic. I incur labor costs in posting the content and acquiring nice images to make it look good on my site.  Sometimes these are not fully recovered because of their reduced traffic.  Also, these pages have a linkjuice flow into them that might be more valuable if sent to other pages. I view these as costs to serve my visitors and the industry niche of my site. One other risk is the duplicate content.  Perhaps updates like the Panda update would reduce rankings of sites that contain lots of duplicate content.  I have not seen that yet in my niche.  The quality of the content is some of the highest on the web and the sites that republish it are almost all authoritative.

Hi! I see you haven't received any response here. If you're still having a problem, email help@seomoz.org as it sounds like it might be a bug. Thanks!

If I thought that there was any penalty or bad odor on the old site I would not risk it. However I would reuse content and try to get the URLs changed on existing valuable links. Just an opinion.

I agree with your SEO that text contained at the top of the article is given more weight then text at the bottom of an article. It is really difficult to provide any estimates on how much more weight. If Google would allow us to look at their algorithms, we would be able to provide a specific answer. Since that is not the case, we are left to making our best guesses using experience and related knowledge as a guide. We know that keywords in a title have more weight when they are earlier in the title. We know it makes sense from a user experience perspective to offer your best, most relevant content upfront rather then buried at the bottom of an article. I would build upon that logic and my experience to suggest that relevant text be provided at the top of the page (all things being equal).

If I was a client and the service provider gave me a bunch of numbers I would not be too impressed. The thing that would get my attention is something ringing. That could be my telephone or my cash register. How can you make something ring? That will make you an unquestionable success.

Hi thanks for this a great sugestion

It relies upon upon the level of answer integration. Volusion simply makes use of a lame "share this" button. I surely might write a blog put up at the distinctive ranges of social sharing like bestespressobeans.net. Not all share buttons are created same.

canonical tags totally save the day in regards to multiple category based products

We noticed a loss of links showing up for one client.  Their PA went up, DA went down. The main BBB links did not show up, and 9 or so other from known sources.
