I would use a div, thats what they are for, a H1 tells the SE what the page is about, and i would not move anything of screen, SE's see that as spaming
I only just re-read and see you are using wordpress, i know little about word press, i can only answer to how i do things.
I would use a strait image, so you can use the alt tag for SEO
I would make the title and h1 unique
I would not move any text off screen.

RE: Link Count Per Page Including JavaScript Links - Should We Worry About Them?
I would be worried that the js links are using linkjuice but not delivering it to the page, it may be evaperating
As for link sculpting, linksculpting with no-follow is dead, but you shoudl be worried where your link jucie flows. using the flat linking structure as rank has bloged about is the best mathmaticly, but you need to also consider users.

RE: On page internal link text
The long and the short of it is
link to and from the home page to every page
link to landing pages from as many links as posible.what you accomplish is pushing your sites rank onto selcted pages

RE: H1 tags the same on all pages - problem?
what about title? that certainly should not be the same.
I can not see whythis would be so tricky are these pages static or dynamic? how many? -
RE: On page internal link text
As long as it reads naturaly i would not worry.
but while you are doing this you should think of you internal linking structure
take a look at this calculator
http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank_calculator.php?pgs=15try linking to every page from home page and to home page from every page (all top row and all left row)
now try linking to every page from home page and to home page and landing pages from every page.
what you do not want is a links to every page from every page.
This is called link sculpting. reading this page will explain lots if you are not already up to speed.

RE: Landing Page Conversion
I agree with others, on landing page my eyes fixed on this
"Find driving test cancellations fast" i did not understand what it ment,"how to get an earlier test" is more descriptive
but what i want to know is the keywords used in pcc, are they direct keywords or are they keywords they need conversion to your product
Why not send pcc to home page?

RE: Why would my product pages no longer be indexed in Google?
Alfrado is correct
I assume you are selling though somesort of franchise and you product content is supplied to you.
You need to create original content for them all.Also sitemaps should not contain every page, they should only contain your most impoartatnt pages. see whitboad friday with Duane Forrester from Bing, still on seomoz front page
If making orginal content for all pages is too hard, have some summery pages from each category and get them to rank.
while your proiduct pages used to be in the index, they probably did not rank well asn theyy were duplicates, but they would of been usefull for linksculpting, only pages in the index can be used for link sculpting

RE: Best site structure for SEO
Repeating the company name is not likly any bemifit, i would use a secondary keyword.
I would also use a flat linking stucture, link all pages from the home page if you can, every other page sould link back to the home page, but not all pages. Obviously you would need to break this rule, but as close as you can keep to it is best.i dont know what technology you are developing the site with, but ASP.MVC is perfect for this sort of url stucture and pumps out very clean code for seo

RE: Merging two sites into one
if its that close i agree also the word properties in your domain would help.

RE: The SEO and CRO Value of an Image Next to Page Content
I can not see a average sized image being a load time problem.
but as joe said make sure you use the alt tag -
RE: Different names for Twitter/Facebook, and site?
Are your pages relative, if so i think that would be enouth. I believe in imperfect SEO, being too optimized may look a bit suss. i believe that looking natural is important
-
RE: Wordpress Pages vs. Posts
It would seem its your linking that os the problem, ppages linked from every page are going to rank better. You should look into link sculpting and decide on a linking statagy for your site

RE: Can't find my site on Bing, since ages
you come #15 in bing for Beauty Tips when i search

RE: Supporting arabic keywords
I have no experience on foreign websites, but I am curious
you say its not working, are you ranking at all?
do you rank on arabic google, if there is one?
are the in arabic or using western characters?
do you rank iin bing?
have you tried
site:yoursite.com arabic keyword
-
RE: The first 5 or what? How many words in page title = revelancy for onpage seo?
Keyword - brand
or
Brand - Keyworddont keyword stuff, also i believe that your keyword is diluted if you have too many words. if your keyword is 2 words and the title is 3 words, then you are using 66% of the toitle, if you have 10 words then you are only using 20%. Keep it short
Having a long spamminfg title will not help you get conversions either. People like a nice neat to the point title to click on. -
RE: Repeat Keyword Phrase or Use Variations
Yes it is good to get variations, but google aslready knows them, if you put SEO, it knows you also mean Search Engine Optimization, so its not like you wont rank for them, you will always rank higher for the variation you use.
but the most imporatant think is, do not go un-natural in order to fit in keywords. Keyword stuffing is a real worrie.
If you cant fit them in without sounding wierd, dont do it. Swaping terms each time you mention the same object can be un-natural. you would not be the first to do it and it would not be the first time SE's have seen it -
RE: Reducing duplicate content
no not at all. but i would not worrie, as there is little info on them they are not really going to do much for you, when they are filled in, they will no longer be duplicates.
If they only ave a phhone number and title, they are not going to do anythiung for you -
RE: Many pages describing services or just a few?
more pages the better, but use link sculpting the make the most of them, one thing to keep in mind is that its one think to make landing pages that get users, but its another to move them to tbe money making pages to make a sale

RE: Do you recommend using Mechanical Turk for link building campaigns?
I have used linxboss, this seems like much the same thing. This type of links do not have much PR to pass, but they do give link text diversity,a nd domain diversity
