Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Takeshi, We started to look at the drop downs in comparison to our competitors and we were doing it wrong. We have removed our drop downs and I will take your advice and figure out what navigation is working, less is more. thank you for the advice. Mike

Also regarding fixing the broken links - the reason I asked about what caused them to break is that, if a couple of permalink structure changes are responsible for the bulk of them, it's likely possible to fix most of them with just one or two rewrite rules. This will be vastly quicker than manually redirecting each one, and will be much better for your site, as that many individual redirects is going to slow down your site. Paul

Yes, greatly appreciate the advice. Can you recommend ay top shelf SEO agencies for  referral? thank you MIke

One thing many clients do is compare search results when logged in to results when logged out. So to see where you're really at, get going with SEOmoz Pro. After you take care of that content issue or fix whatever problem you're having, you can ask for site reconsideration here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35843\. Hope that helps.
