Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Since your 301 redirect are years apart it shouldn't cause that much of a problem. I wouldn't make a habit out of it though!

If you have the resources, ideally you want to be running them as independent microsites that eventually redirect through to your main site (ie when the user decides he wants to buy whatever your selling)

Just got my seomoz rank tracker stats through - So obviously I'm doing something right, maybe I should just give it another few weeks and see if it picks up again?

I have a PR 4/5 (it varies) blog with around 20-25k uniques a month. I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a half-decent place to hire blog writers?

Basically I would want someone to crawl disability news (I can provide tons of it, it autoposts to my 'Drafts' section on wordpress right now.). So basically would just need someone to re-write it.

I also see lots of places pay you to write reviews of their products on your blog. Is there any service which effectively take control of content on your blog? They can post whatever they want (as long as it's not spammy and it's relevant to my niche) sell those reviews, and in exchange rewrite disability news articles for me?

Thanks

Nothing major in Analytics. If anything my hits from the UK have dropped dropped and international hits have risen.

My impressions on google webmaster tools have dropped 21% (700,000 -> 550,000)

Sorry forgot to mention my site:

ablemagazine.co.uk

Hi, since posting a few threads here and following instructions (post more unique content, link building etc) my website traffic has dropped by around 25%

My SERPS rremain pretty much unchanged. I'm posting tons more unique content. Am I just being penalised slightly because I've made drastic changes to my site (301 .com -> .co.uk) etc or am I doing something wrong?

Is anyone aware of a website that has a PHP Spinner with a built in thesaurus? I've looked all over the web. Would be handy to be able to drop snippets of articles in there, have it spun - then I can just fix the broken english and post it.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I already compress all my images with photoshop so the savings with smush.it are usually less than 500Bytes. I suppose it all helps!

According to google

'On average, pages in your site take 4.6 seconds to load (updated on Apr 3, 2011). This is slower than 71% of sites. These estimates are of low accuracy (fewer than 100 data points). The chart below shows how your site's average page load time has changed over the last few months. For your reference, it also shows the 20th percentile value across all sites, separating slow and fast load times.'

My website: http://ablemagazine.co.uk

I've installed Cache plugins, Minify plugins, reduce the amount of posts on my main page. But my website is still taking too long to load and I'm afraid I'm being penalised for it.

Any tips?

Hi Stephanie,

If you do end up re-writing your URLs there is a very useful plugin here;

http://www.techzene.com/wordpress-tips/change-url-structure-wordpress/

It'll make sure your site doesn't produce thousands of 404 errors when people are finding your site via old backlinks/google

Just a note; when I added the facebook plugin to my wordpress install it slowed my page load time dramatically. Make sure to check yours doesn't do the same if you decide to go the facebook route. However, I did notice a large increase in comments once I enabled the plugin. (I assume since the user didn't need to login - even though I didn't require an account to post on my blog, I figure most people are unfamiliar with the wordpress commenting system)

I used:

http://www.webpagetest.org/

Could you provide an example URL so we know what you're referring to?

Thanks
