Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Pat, Its always a tough gig making the sense of the content whilst trying to sensibly input the keywords.lol Craig

You might also want to review the section of the beginner's guide to SEO that talks about links at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links, and the link building section of our blog at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/4.

I wouldn't do it, as I would only put the content in one place. In another question, I listed some resources regarding link building that may help you instead of placing duplicate content for links.

Hi Keri, And as far as I know there isn't a date when they update their SERP for all website at once. Each website is individually crawled and they update the SERP individually for each website as quickly as they can. And for this reason they've introduced 'Fetch as Google', speed and freshness. If it was a weekly or even a daily update of the SERP we will lose the daily news. Thank you for your reply Keri Cornel

Hi Craig, Glad you found it! Joomla can be a nightmare sometimes. Matt.

Yeah, i learned a lot today but it was a long day...lol. Big thanks to both you and Marcus. The final thing I have to do is add the canonical link rel's and its of to the next problem..... regards, Craig
