Welcome to the Q&A Forum

If it's just for google you can have multiple sitemaps listed with them.

If you want a standalone tool to crawl your whole site http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/standalone-google-sitemap-generator.html can work on a cron to crawl your whole site each day (as long as the wordpress is not a subdomain of the main site)

You can 301 folders or even parameters. It can get quite complicated an easy to mess up as you can do folders but not subfolders etc. This type of work is easier to subcontract out to a programmer who does this all the time.

Here is a good squidoo on it http://www.squidoo.com/301

and here a htaccess generator 

http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/recovery-from-google-penguin-tips-from-the-trenches is a seomoz article with some good information.

First you need to work out if you are suffering from a penalty and if so which type of penalty as it's not just penguin that can give you a penalty. You most likely need some professional help however if you want to try and pin point exactly when your traffic dropped in your analytics and cross reference it to http://www.seomoz.org/google-algorithm-change you will have an idea which is affecting you (or several)

Then you'll need to take corrective measures and wait until the next update to see if google has lifted the penalty.

ps. You've done a perfect panda below with 4 duplicate replies to Barry's post.

You need to look at the referring page, find the link and you'll have an idea where to fix it. Most likely the template you are using has this built in, it could be breadcrumbs or pagination, and you might need to edit the template to fix it.

In fact it is you pagination look at the url for page 1 on any of your pages other than page 1 such as http://www.enigmacrea.com/diseno-grafico-portafolio-publicidad?start=6 it links back to not http://www.enigmacrea.com/diseno-grafico-portafolio-publicidad but http://www.enigmacrea.com/diseno-grafico-portafolio-publicidad?limitstart=0

I've seen this in joomla sites and you might need to get a web developer or find a fix for it. If it's not joomla you still might need to find a fix or a web developer who will amend your template code.

You can resolve this many ways.

You can redirect index.php pages to the non index.php pages (or vice versa) in your htaccess.

You can add a rel-canonical tag to the pages to show which is your primary type

You can find where your page links to the index.php types (it could be breadcrumbs or internal links) and amend them.

Here is a good article I found by googling seomoz fix duplicate content

Just bought the book on your recommendation. Thanks!

Duplicate content is a problem on your own site ie.e you have 5 pages all saying the same. Google doesn't like that.

What you are doing is syndicating the content and that's fine as long as you are recognised as the author of it by having links back to you and also release it on your site a few days before syndicating it.

If you have 404 errors listed on your report it is because somewhere on your page is a link to a url that is either mal-written or no longer exists. You can export the data from your report or run a manual crawl using the research tools and the 404 error will be listed along with the referrer (the page the broken link is on). Go to that page and either correct or remove the link.

I think I understand the question. Seomoz is able to analyse your page relative to a supplied keyword and score it along with showing you improvements that can be made. It's under Research tools at the top of your screen and called on-page optimisation/on page analysis.

If you are signed in you can manually run a crawl of your site under the research tools section (at the top of the screen) that will give you a spreadsheet with all the information and errors.

If it's already a campaign. When you're logged into the campaign, head over to the crawl diagnostics page.  Here you should see a drop down where you can choose csv and export.  Once this is downloaded, all you need to do is sort the column for error type and scroll over for the referrer.

Use the seomoz crawler. All your 404's have the referring page ie. the page that the broken link is found on.

Site load times and duplicate content between pages are not things that would get a violate google guidelines warning.

Duplicate content or thin content will hold you back and class you as a low quality site but I think google is more saying that you are doing bad things such as link wheels, manipulating PR, spam linking, copying content from sites etc.

I think Marcus is trying to say check duplicate content comparing to other sites with tools such as copyscape and that if you have done all the basics then you may need a second opinion with a full audit and review.

I agree full site audits are essential however it's often by looking at the backlink profile that you can get an idea of the cause.

I've run analysis on 11 sites affected on the 17th and all but 1 have found common cause (and all but two I can say are unique in their field so not a poor quality content issue - the others were ecommerce as often a lot of content is the same between sites due to shared product descriptions)

I had a look in this case and, guessing which pages would be affected, one page had 48% keyword anchor text and the other page 94% anchor text one keyword (when taking only do follow links in to account). This to me looks like the most obvious culprit but I agree you can only know by spending a decent amount of time looking at every aspect.

The reason why I offer a preliminary audit is the more sites I see the more I can find common causality.

My understanding is it was a penguin refresh (although not acknowledged by google) as sites that seem to be affected also have unnatural backlink profiles.

If you want me to take a look pm me the website url.

I don't have the time to look in detail but have you ruled out that it is not onsite or link-wheel's, have you checked  the ip distribution of your links etc?

They don't need to know what you need to do in order to do their job. They need seo to complete the job so price either per month or a start-up fee and per month.

People don't like unknowns so I've always found the price by hour doesn't have a good uptake. People want to know how much it is going to cost.

I'd say quote for the job and in the background work out how many hours it will take and therefore cost you for the job then add 20% as most times things don't go so smoothly and you don't want to lose out. Eventually you'll get more accurate at pricing.

I would expect if he used the redirect domain function in google webmaster tools it would minimise this.
