Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Travis!  

Dear Alexander, You should provide access to Google WMT to take a look at the source of your 404, also provide access to your CMS if the issue is cause by your system and even provide access to your hosting server to work on your HTACCES file to 301 or 410 pages according needs. You can email me at webmaster @ freesharewaredepot . com (Im the SEO of this directory) Hope it helps

A DIY approach that uses a custom tool is http://www.rmoov.com/index.php, which many people have used with success. Regular Moz contribute Sha Menz writes about this tool (she works for the company that makes Rmoov) here, and also shows what Remove'em (another tool) does. I agree with Oleg in that thread that there is often little difference in they way different services handle link removal, besides price and initial approach, but I'd go further to say that a standard, tested follow-up protocol (how long until you you send follow-ups? What language is used?) is also important if you are going with an agency. Many if not most SEO agencies will provide this service, but may not be particularly economical depending on the agencies' business models. Many hope to provide on-going services to clients, or at least services that extend beyond one link removal campaign.

Linking internally with optimised anchor text should be fine, but be careful not to overdo this in the same manner that you would not overdo inbound links with optimised anchors. In the last day, I've read a couple of theories about over-done internal anchor text being a common factor in sites that have recently lost rankings, but do NOT take that as gospel or even particularly important yet, as this was acknowledged by the person who said it as a very preliminary theory that they had not run proper analysis on yet. Just something to keep an eye on - I am sure the person will publish this theory if they establish that it has more merit! The image re-usage should be fine, although it's best to use entirely unique content in both text and imagery.

You are wasting a chance to get more text in your website, alt tags aren't worth much but all the same it a chance to get a keyword or relevant text in your site. It may also be a bad signal to a search engine and they may no longer trust your alt tags when deciding what the image is about

Hi Alexander, For multi-location businesses (that is to say, businesses with more than one, staffed physical office) it's generally considered a best practice to link to the location landing page on the website, rather than the homepage, because your Google+ Local page is then pointing users and bots right to a page that matches the NAP on the business listing. This practice may also lower the risk of merging happening, because Google's bots are easily able to see that everything matches on the designated page, rather than leaving them to scour around the website trying to pick the right location out of a handful of them.

Hi Alexander, Google says that one website is better than two, and I almost never recommend that any local business publish more than one website, because of the risk this puts them at for NAP inconsistency, duplicate and merged listings as well as often creating thin/duplicate content risks. Google's opinion, as voiced by John Mueller, can be found here: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/rOb2jIctBLQ/discussion So, honestly, my advice is to go with just one site, Alexander.

I have 2 websites as well and they are in the same niche, i made sure the write completely different content that is helpful to my visitors. Different titles and descriptions as well.

A number of factors should be kept it mind but firstly keep a focus on the On page SEO and the Site Content Optimization...also choose best CMS like WP as start-up as it is also easy to customize and update...

I think #2 would be a good fit - it's responsive and easier to navigate.

I would have to say that the best software to create videos is going to be either Final Cut Pro which is available on the Mac operating system only. http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/what-is/ you can use Adobe Premier and get the same level of professional capabilities when tied to its creative cloud makes a pretty cool set of tools. http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html on online only tools I would look at most likely http://www.powtoon.com/ it allows you to do quite a bit and has a lot of animation capabilities built-in other online tools are http://animoto.com/business http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-5-tools-to-make-a-home-movie-online-for-free/ I did not know if you were looking to use YouTube only however I would recommend Wistia over YouTube for a lot of projects in order to show you why please check out this link. http://wistia.com/learning/advanced-seo-with-distilled I hope this is of help, Thomas

You do know that you can put raw HTML into Wordpress, right? It's a full CMS system so you can paste the raw info in and it will keep the same template. Google itself really doesn't care about the extension or how it looks. If the page is isolated from the site (i.e. it doesn't interlink like a normal page) then Google might view it differently.

Personally, I would go with something more like  www.lasvegaswrappers.com (which is available). Or www.wrapvegas.com... Something that is less of a mouthful and will probably be easier for people to remember. -Andy

Hi Alexander, While there are some server-side technical things you can do to force a 404 error for a given URL, the best thing to do is remove the content in question from your server. At the very least this should achieve getting a 404 status code when you attempt to visit the URL that once housed the content. Ideally, if you can configure a custom 404 page that is more user-friendly, that's even better. Now, depending on how your server is configured, there may be instances when a URL should produce a 404 error, but doesn't. I only bring this scenario up as a possibility because it's something I am currently dealing with on one of the sites I manage. In any case, you may need to work closely with your server administrator or Web developer to achieve what you need. Most likely, it's just a matter of removing the old content from the server. Hope that helps! Dana

Hi Alexander, There isn't a best length to write, but I personally would never make this too long. Remember that this is a small sales page (of a kind), and you are wanting to sell your services. You are much better off with something that quickly describes what you are offering. I think the maximum number of characters you can use is about 4,500, but this would make for an overly lengthy read. There is a lot of personal opinion comes into this question, but for me, I would stick at about 600 characters. Others might choose more - others less. -Andy

Hi Alexander, You can also check out the Google Adwords tool for keyword ideas (you don't need active AdWords campaigns; you just need to sign in with a Gmail address. Choose the option to enter a URL and a target keyword: http://i.imgur.com/qes7S31.png You will then be shown a panel with two options - ad group keywords (groups of keywords Google considers relevant for your query) and a full list of keywords: http://imgur.com/a/XGtEa Google returned 800 keywords in total for this search - you can download a spreadsheet of these keywords and sort through to decide on the ones that best suit your business. Cheers, Jane

Hi Alexander, Check out Who Is Hosting This - it's a large community with a lot of reviews, comparisons, etc. Commercially it refers visitors to hosts, but is otherwise impartial (there are links to hosts with good and bad reviews). The "compare" feature might be useful for you: http://i.imgur.com/wyyITPL.png I hope this helps! Jane

We currently use godaddy hosting and it is pretty awful.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a very fast web hosting service?
