When is it time to kill 301 redirects
Hi EGOL, Thanks a mill for the reply really appreciate it. Based on your suggestion I will keep the redirects in place simply just in case in case there is links on other website leading to our pages and I don't want them going to a 404. Cheers, Glen

Increase in 404's
Ok thanks guys for your input. As per your suggestion, yes I could redirect multiple 404's to one page on the new site as the content would be relevant to the end user. As per pages that have no relevancy any-more I think I will just allow them to drop from the index. Cheers for the link also. Regards, Glen

Why? Keyword ranking on Google go under and down regularly
Hi there. Sorry for late reply. Been busy Answered from ipad - so structure was totally messed up in my reply. Sorry! From SeoConsult.com: "But it’s not until a recent study was conducted by SEO Moz that we realised just how much fluctuation was happening on a daily basis. On average 80% of SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) that were tracked changed every 24 hours over a period of 30 days. Granted most of these changes were small (1 or 2 positions) but for someone who is on page 1 for their favourite keyword this can have a big effect, everyone knows there’s a huge difference from position 1 to position 3. 4 out of 5 SERPS change every day which shows just how dynamic the ranking game has become in 2012." This sounds like normal fluctuation, but what you describe is more than that. I have not seen this myself, but perhaps everybody is working hard at SEO - hence changes are ongoing: This could be relevant for you: http://www.seobook.com/rank-modifying-spammers "So, Google may shift the rankings of your site, in what appears to be a random manner, before Google settles on a target rank" Is it far fetched to believe that sometimes google "randomise" the fSERP to achieve more biased data to calculate from CTR?. If I had a hard time choosing which page to present for customers I would A/B-test it. Perhaps google is A/B-testing the SERP for your keyword? By the way : I have keywords changing back and forward from 19 to 39 within a day. But I guess it is very different when it comes to first page SERP. Update: During the last week your rankings have been pretty steady for both keywords: Turnstiles steady at #4-5 Time and attendance Software at #18-19
