Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there Yes, this is called Google Personalized Search - you can learn more about it from this great Whiteboard Friday. If you want to get a more beneficial look at your rankings, I would suggest checking out Startpage or taking a look at your average position in Webmaster Tools - it's a more aggregated ranking metric in WMT as it combines multiple factors and averages your positions for that keyword/query. Also, Moz tracks keywords for you and updates you weekly. Hope this helps! Good luck!

No problem! Let me know if I can be of anymore help!

I would also keep looking or stick with www.thephotoboothguys.com.au the .gy or .co are not worth a switch, imo.

If you were to pre-write him comments and posts that made perfect sense, then you are either a) writing comments that make perfect sense but are so general that the person reading them knows that they could apply to hundreds of posts out there or b) you're reading the post and writing the comments so why are you bothering to hire him? I agree with the advice that EGOL and Sha have given, and would add that reading through the Beginner's Guide to SEO could also be helpful.

Thanks everyone. So - it is all agreed that using my own domain (in some form) is definitely the best option. That's good. **In regards to Sub Domain V Folder. ** Before tackling that issue fully  - Just to be clear, the Gallery is a hosted solution, so, I can not just pick it up and move it to wherever I like. I can however, create a CNAME record and redirect it that way. BUT Im no expert in this area - I know I can use a CNAME record to redirect to a sub domain, but can you redirect to a folder?

The biggest benefit you'll see with the implementation of micro formats is an increase in CTR. As for a rankings boost, there isn't anything solid to support it, but it is very possible that search engines already use this as a ranking factor. I believe Rand has indicated that micro formats could be used as a "brand signal" and Best Buy indicated significant rankings improvement after that implemented GoodRelations markup (ecommerce RDFa).
