Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Just create a redirect in your htaccess file with the old URL to the new URL.  There are multiple plugins that support this feature on WordPress such as "simple redirect" etc.

I think that is also a good answer, but I believe you have to take in consideration your anchor text diversity.  If you have been targeting this "phrase" with any consistency and then you add 2k more instances of this keyword it could pose as some trouble and look unnatural.  Remember linking is about looking as natural as possible, so if you think that is covered then you should be in good shape

I would be proactive and email the website to take the link down.  If they do not reply in 24 hours I would use the disavow tool and make sure to cover your tracks.

In my experience I don't think its going to negatively affect your SEO it is just a better practice to keep everything lowercase.  The only thing you do not want is the search engine viewing the same page 2x as separate pages creating duplicate content.  If these are relatively new pages I would go ahead and fix them, but if they have any significant link juice to them i think its fine to leave as is.

Depending on what platform you are using you are going to want to make these pages as no index in your robots file.  Alternatively WordPress and other promising CMS allow you to mark a page not be indexed. using a plugin.

I would say that our traffic and our clients traffic varies 2%-11% for Bing depending on the niche.  I actually think search engine traffic is directly related to what industry you are in.  I know Google is considered the benchmark, but Bing does have a nice interface as well and all my sites seem to rank higher on bing anyway :P.

I think its important to keep your logo as an image to keep your "alt text".  It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.  It sounds to me that you are trying to increase your speed optimization of your page which directly can affect your SEO.  If your site is optimized and you can keep your logo in as an image I would keep it.  If you making your logo into a sprite increases you page speed a lot and gives it a big boost in performance (highly doubt it) than do it.

Im in favor of buying domains that are close to your brand and redirecting, but buying over 100+ domains to redirect isn't smart.  Unless they have a strategy built around populating unique content around them - its not a good move.

Not really a spammy link promo or anything, but I have an SEO client who ranks number 1 for...

generic keyword such as :  "land survey company" and 20 surround cities.  He emailed me a couple day ago asking me to target "company surveying city name" sigh....

Sync your website with Google Webmaster and use the disavow tool.

We use OSE exactly like you do, but also use it as an education tool for our clients.  Many people has so many misconceptions about SEO and if you take the time to explain the basis of what you are actually doing they will see the value.

Thanks yes we love the trendy business industries.  It takes you out of the boring typical industry designs and gives us a little more flexibility with the design and functionality.

If you are using WordPress you can use "J translate" which allows you to have multiple versions of the copy per language. That is what we use for our foreign clients or websites that require multiple languages.

Genesis is by the best framework to use.  We use it on all of your clients websites and integrate Yoast with it.

Here are just a few sites we have recently completed using Genesis:

Before we were just using our own custom framework, but this provides a lot of stability and once you get the hang of the framework anything is possible.

In my personal experience I always find silos a positive strategy as long as its not natural and not overblown.   I think it makes a user's experience more concentrated and in turn will help your on site time and make it easier for you to build links for a specific term.

When it doubt Google.  Syndicating all your reviews with a plus profile will only help your SEO strategy.  The only time I would prefer another review site is if it was specific to my industry like urbanspoon for restaurants or angies list for contractors.

If you want it to look the same you are going to need someone to redevelop a mobile version of the site.  A plugin can only do a variety of tricks to get the job done, but there are sure to be some inconsistencies across the board.

there are no particular rules, but I think its important to have your links stand out from body text for a user experience.  I would also recommend having a visited link and a hover color change as well.

Just my thoughts, but it may work in the short term, but we are all too familiar what can happen in the long run with these types of software.
