Welcome to the Q&A Forum

There is a good set of questions and information at http://www.mytrafficdropped.com/ about helping to determine if you have a penalty or were affected by a particular algorithm update.

Thanks for the help folks. I have the WWW issue fixed. However the pagination is a little more complicated. The shopping cart I use (big commerce) implements pagination canonicalization improperly and I have no control over that. How big of a deal is that? Thanks, Hal

We can do that. I agree using WP will be a much better user experience. Is there any way to pass some of the SEO benefits of the blog to the ecommerce site?

Thanks Ruslan!

Thanks for the feedback folks! I really appreciate it. Hal

Ahhh ok. So i won't worry about the duplicate content so long as there is a substantial amount of good quality original content on each page. Glad to have an understanding on this as I found it a little confusing after reading about it. Thanks! Hal

Hi Cyrus, Thanks so much for the help, and thanks for the title examples I think you've set me on the right track now! Kindly, Hal
