Hi Rasmus,
User-agent: *
Disallow:
means that all robots can enter the site
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
block all robots to enter.
User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow:
block WebCrawler robot, but other can enter
Always first line of robots.txt tells what robots can crawl a site and * means all. Second and next lines are pointing specific catalogues on a server e.g. Disallow: /admin/
So I think that is not a robots.txt issue - please ensure me 
Hi,
As I see your product short description is the not the same as meta description tag. Meta description is creating from "Product description" (product page).
For meta description rule is 140 characters not more than 160 - 170.
Usually people don't read a lot (sometimes nothing) they browse. So for your short description you should use general marketing rule - short, product features do not sell, values for the client are good for sells.
In my opinion your short description on http://www.theprinterdepo.com/canon-imageclass-lbp6000-new-discount-inside is good. Maybe you can modify a little bit e.g.:
"The best for any small business or home office user looking for quality laser output. Very quick first print and next 19 pages per minute! Excellent quality, easy to use, cheap exploitation."
Hi you can use On-Page Analysis Report to optimize your pages for particular keyword (page by page) or wait few weeks when robots do this inside your campaign.
Hi again,
Cesar I think your problem is not different order of keywords but duplicated content. If you have two websites with the same content it can be a problem and it was probably the reason of Panda influence on your website.
let me understand, do you have: http://www.example.com and http://example.com with the same content?
more: http://www.seomoz.org/pages/search_results?q=duplicated+content
http://www.seomoz.org/pages/search_results?q=www+or+non+www
In my opinion you should choose better site (www or non-www) by checking a value in OSE and finally do a 301 redirection of lower ranked to higher ranked and do the same in GWT ...that means choose higher ranked as your primary.

Hello again,
They are the same.
And I assume that interpretation is the same because default state is:
**<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL"> **that means index, follow
and you can decompose every tag to parts:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="FOLLOW">
and that tells robot to noindex, but do follow is default so if you don't use this tag robot will follow anyway.

Hello,
Few directions
1. IP Canonicalization - not present
2. Social impact ... really low (only 4 G+1)
3. Your position (6th in google.com) for keyword "expedite us passport" is for the page http://www.passportsandvisas.com/passport/index.asp
4. Many of good places are images not text containing keyword (H1, H2 ...), like "Looking For US Passport .... - image
bullet list below ... image, In my opinion it is a best place for main slogan in H1.
5. keyword stuffing in meta description "Expedite US passport and travel visa service : Expedited US passports ( new , renewal, lost, child ) : Nationwide Service" ... it is not a description ... it is stream of keywords
Other (low impact on SEO) but also important:
No mobile css ... but it has low impact
Increase Text/HTML ratio
delete keywords tag (
no language description
no microformats, Geo Meta Tags ... etc
no feed
You can spy competition:
http://visahq.com - best one and others http://us-passport-service-guide.com, http://itseasy.com, http://travisa.com, http://abriggs.com, http://passportvisasexpress.com
and check what they have especially http://visahq.com
And also ask the question who is your client? (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/passportsandvisas.com#)
female 45 - 54, connecting from work ... Whether a website is attractive to customers?

Hi,
agree 100% with Kane it is also recommended by google for localizations
etc...
It increases domain authority and this is what everyone site owner wants
Hi Janis,

Hi Marisa,
I'm using /%postname% and in my opinion it is a best structure ... but ... in that kind of structure is important to care about slug and to prevent creation of duplicated titles.
/the-best-solution is a good slug
//the-best-solution-2 is not a good slug
I don't have duplicated pages cos WordPress has mechanism which check the slug in real time when you creating a post.
I think that /%postname% is the most friendly link structure.
Hi Diane,
from Wiki: 'Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in webpages rather than merely to define its presentation (look)..." full document link
Semantic in shortest way does mean structured. Structured from article (and/or text) point of view. ... from other Wiki article "The Semantic Web, as originally envisioned, is a system that enables machines to "understand" and respond to complex human requests based on their..." link
The simplest example of semantic markup are H tags (H1, H2 ... H6), other ... bullets
Non semantic tags are e.g.
Since late 90' semantic markup (and web) are strongly supported by CSS which is responsible for presentation (look) of the web.
So ... summarizing everything what is an element of structured document is semantic markup and everything what is neutral for document structure is non-semantic.
I think it will help you
Marek
