Welcome to the Q&A Forum

First, a disclaimer. I'm not an expert on SORBS-SPAM, so take my advice with a grain of salt. That said, with millions and millions of IPs on the list, including IPs that host big and powerful sites, it's doubtful that being on the blacklist alone will hurt your SEO much. The bigger problem is any email you send may get blocked. Regardless, it's a good idea to try to get yourself de-indexed. Apparently, this is a fairly common procedure and you can find information on that here http://www.sorbs.net/faq/retest.shtml Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Do guest posting - it's free content for others and nice backlink for you. Connect with people in your industry on Twitter; once they know you, it's very easy to get links from them

GREAT answer, I think you clarified it for me.  The only advantage would be that I could add content to a blog easily but I would lose a lot of the functionality I get with DW.  I think for now I will stick with DW for my site and worry about a blog down the road (if I have trouble ranking).  In the future I think I will create WP site using DW's GUI.  I see there is a Lynda.com tutorial on it and it doesn't look terribly complicated. I will definitely check it out in the future (must be a reason everyone loves it) but for now I will go with what I know.

I probably will add a page for our presence in the community that is a good idea.  My wife is a teacher so I am always getting talked into providing raffle prizes and donating to this or that. For now though I would love to increase our presence in organic search results outside of our main service city.  I am curious what are some white hat methods of building links that don't cost a fortune.  It seems like there must be something I can do that will produce something pr2-3 that would help substantially. So far the best I have come up with are relevant forum comments that were on pr 1 pages.   I have written some articles but they never seem to do well.

Hi Ayetti, Josh has given you one resource. I can give you some more. Here is an excellent article by Myles Anderson at Search Engine Land on the top 50 citation sources for both the USA and UK: http://searchengineland.com/top-50-citation-sources-for-uk-us-local-businesses-104938 Also, read David Mihm's Local Search Ranking Factors Report from 2011. This is the premiere survey in the Local Search Industry. Good comments and data about citations/directories there: http://www.davidmihm.com/local-search-ranking-factors.shtml Finally, go to GetListed.org (also a David Mihm product) and go through the process of entering your legal business name and zip code to see what results you get. Then read through the further information on the site about other places to list your business. You essentially have 2 choices - to do all submissions manually, or, to create your Google Place Page manually and then do a paid submission via either Localeze of Universal Business Listing. If you go the paid route, they submit the business to a ton of directories (can't remember the exact number off the top of my head but it's quite a few). If you do it manually, you have more exact control over where you list yourself and the details you provide on each listing. Then, beyond the regular local business indexes, there may be important industry-related directories where it would be good for your specific type of business to be listed. Those you will have to hunt for yourself. For example, if your products were Made-in-the-USA, you might want to find some little directories that focus specifically on that. Hopefully, these resources will be helpful to you. Good luck! Miriam

Well, looking at your site, I'd say that you have a decent amount of content. But it's lacking a good foundation. Will going to WordPress improve what your site... Well, it depends on how you create the pages, plus you'll have to make sure that all the urls are matching your old ones, and a whole slew of considerations you'd be faced with when migrating. Based on where you're at, there is quite a bit of work either way you  look at it. If you look at the SEO Pyramid http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-the-seo-fundamentals-pyramid You'll see that there are certain things you're missing from that first foundation step on your site. I would spend some time here: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo and see hat you're missing on your site. From there you can look a little more into whether you want to switch to WordPress or something else. I do think that since you have a fair amount of content, simply dropping that into a WordPress site that you slowly build and get used to on a test site (hidden from robots) would be a big help for you to move to that. Using Dreamweaver is pretty outdated for a lot of things (I'm sure there are some advanced users still using it), but WordPress and other CMS's are so much easier to use.

both great answers, the htaccess change didn't work for me cause I am a helpless noob, but the rel=canonical worked like a charm, thanks all your the best.

cool thank you soo much again.  You have been a huge help.

Hi, how many visit do you have? is the bounce rate high? First impression about your website - it's boring form marketing and human point of view. But frankly speaking when i did quick research in the Polish internet it looks almost the same. Maybe first thing to do is to differentiate from competition. On that site my graphics designer used dog's muzzle to "good nose" for real estate searching - it's real estate agent  site Now many people don't remember the name of this agency but everybody remembers  them  as "that one with dog"  http://www.salvanto.pl/ Maybe it is not about SEo but the world does not begin and end with the SEO Be different from others on the market
