Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You should be able to pick a vanity URL if you go into your basic information settings and go to Username.  I would call it something that is descriptive of your business but as short as you can get. /Weight-Loss or /WeightLoss or something like that. I would also recommend adding a cover photo.https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?q=cover+photo

I think the page looks pretty good.  My only concern is that the thumbnail images on the right are all skewed.  I'm not sure how you'd fix this - perhaps by using timthumb?

Yup.  They're going to increase clicks and they are also good internal links.  They likely help the search engines figure out what those pages are about.

Sometimes they rank well simply because they have been around for a very long time. Other times it's because they have many links pointing to them from various sources. Sometimes it can be simply that Google hasn't caught on to them yet but there days might be numbered. Remember Panda only impacted around 12% as per Wikipedia. And Penguin impacted even less. So this means that either every other site is using only white hat tactics or they have flown under the radar for now but Google is always making adjustments.

hi, can you look at the website please www.in2town.co.uk we have been trying to improve this but we are not sure if we have it set up correctly, for instance we are not sure if we have it set up right for google to be able to find all pages. i have read about have pages connecting etc, forgot at the moment the correct term at the moment but it was about pages linking together. any help would be great

cheers for that. great advice.

cheers for this kerri.

thanks for that

many thanks for this. will do it now.

thanks for that. i mentioned it to my hosting company last night so they must have solved the problem. all i need to do now is to try and speed the site up otherwise i will be forced to buy a bigger dedicated server. many thanks for your help

I'm not familiar with Joomla, but you should be figuring out how to get serverside caching enabled. Looks like they have their own implementation, so you probably don't need an extension. If you aren't familiar with the code found on this page, you should probably hire someone qualified to do it.

and I was thinking I was going well doubling my adsense income to £100 a month! wow.

thanks for that, i use http://gtmetrix.com/ but i am trying to find out about how long it takes from section to section as i have been told it is slow moving around from my site while loading the home page on my site differs during the day. sometimes it loads in three seconds and sometimes it loads in one second. i am sorting out a new larger server but need to check on the navigation of my site

de nederlands reg there - didnt ping it to check ip

If you add new conetnt every day, you will start to get crawled every day.

i have about 1000 pages that had goog quality links with them and i was thinking of doing a 301 direct in the htaccess file but was worried that this amount would really slow my site down

Hi ryan I use tmd hosting, and what they provide for me is, they when required upload a template that i can then work on to the hosting package, if the site goes down for whatever reason they sort it out straight away (although it is something they have done but not happened for two years), I spent six months trying to find a uk host but could not find one. I spoke to many of them and they were not offering the service that i required. I was thinking about 1and1 but they did not offer many services so until i can find a decent uk host i am stuck with the old host, but i am still looking as my target audience is in the UK

Diane-     Simple solution. Dont confuse what your customers see with what google will index......Build solid content in the footer that is about us, lifestyle magazine "sections", etc....... Then make sure the sitemap includes the information in the footer in a logical way...so start off with your major headings and then branch out into the sub headings...... Then make sure your titles and meta tag descriptions re-emphasis that it is a lifestyle magazine..... here is an example from the new york times(see link below-scroll to the bottom of the page)....you will see the major headings at the top of the page are only 2-3 ......then they have all of their other informative and content rich headings listed at the bottom (12-15+) http://www.nytimes.com/?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1336497757-5zKeD4ddSZ0i9EQC0JDDZg Hope this helps.

Diane, I suggest you work on the content and make it more readable. The first paragraph is likely to turn off some readers and make them leave the site without clicking on any more articles or any ads. Take a step back and read the following out loud and see if it's something you think will encourage a reader to stick around. Payday Loans company Wonga who have been at the centre of a lot of controversy since they launched their pay day loans company are now expanding their business to target the small business owner where they are going to target small businesses who are struggling and offer them instant cash. Also, that article just doesn't seem to fit in. When I look at the header of your site, I see LIFESTYLE in all caps and a picture of a woman. Subheads are about health for men and women, gastric band hypnotherapy, gossip, holiday reviews, etc. One of the articles on your sidebar appears in numerous places on the web (duplicate content). You need content that people will want to read long enough for them to even notice the ads. If the content turns people off, they're going to close that browser tab, and all the positioning in the world won't make a difference.
