We had first very visible activity of Panda in Poland on Jan, 31, 2012. For best price comparisons portals went down to nowhere. That was because of usage link exchange system on a huge scale. Google in official communicate promised to put off the filter after they change SEO policy but now they still outside the rankings.
Now on the top are shops and other valuable sites. So will see maybe they improve again 
Hi Egol,
I think that the question was: "if you pay google for PPC is that has influence on treating you by google in SEO" , maybe questioner - Daytona Hotels will clarify the question.
But in general I agree with you - one condition - big budget. In other cases I rather prefer run AdWords for keywords with very strong competition, where SEO cost few times more. I don't know what are the average CPC is in US but in Poland for many keywords it is still good strategy.
AdWords and partner(Display network) can not improve SEO ... but proponents of conspiracy theory of google
say that it can
In Wordpress you don't have catalogues except e.g. catalogues on servr like "/wp-content/uploads/....", only posts. Some type of specific posts functions as pages.
A little bit different is with pages which are created by dynamic query like tag, category, archives. But in the end they are also posts with one specific url.
I'm linking with "/" but google indexed pages reported to index with or without "/" on the same way.
Hi,
from SEO point of view it is almost the same as in Highland response. Technically it is better to end links with trailing slash because when you put without server is queried 2 times (id depends on mod-rewrite in .htaccess file)
But remember it works only for main domain. For deeper structure like:
are two diff things 1st is a file content address, 2nd is an index of catalogue "content" if exist if not 1st rule
Is your problem is that plugin generated 2 meta description tags?
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.
For more than 2 months I'd been tested another SEO plugin - SEO Ultimate. IMHO it is the best plugin for WP at the time. It is very flexible and it is possible to decide about almost every element of a page. It has follow/nofollow and index/noindex manager and tons of other features.
I don't have attachment pages indexed
Hi,
As I know there's no solution for Analytics. It is better to have separate account for every client.
For AdWords you can connect it in one in My Client Center
Adwords and analytics linking is described in google help
I doesn't. It does you a number of views, because there's a lot different solutions in internet browsers and plugins and user can even view it in Google docs viewer. But for many purposes it is sufficient to know that user view a document.
You can implement dedicated java script tool to know the number of downloads. Probably the code mentioned by nvs.nim (below) realizes such an action.
Good luck

Thanks,
Haven't tried yet. They pricing is not so friendly for me now, but in the future who knows
Hi,
how many visit do you have? is the bounce rate high?
First impression about your website - it's boring form marketing and human point of view. But frankly speaking when i did quick research in the Polish internet it looks almost the same.
Maybe first thing to do is to differentiate from competition. On that site my graphics designer used dog's muzzle to "good nose" for real estate searching - it's real estate agent site Now many people don't remember the name of this agency but everybody remembers them as "that one with dog" http://www.salvanto.pl/
Maybe it is not about SEo but the world does not begin and end with the SEO Be different from others on the market
Sometimes I use it for get a knowledge about new and historic data. I had a discussion with Dixon Jones last year in meeting in Poland and he said that they have more links in their index than Google. I can say that Majestic SEO's historic index is great. Also fresh which is I believe, faster than other tools/resources.
I think they are the best in number of links category. Sometimes, especially when I have an opportunity to buy "old domain" it's very handy to have historic index to sculpt old links and redirect it to new project. That's it I think
Hi again,
First you should decide about tracking method. Next read Google article and finally ask us a specific not general question. I think it is fair advise
hi,
In my case indexation took around 2 months after my manual submission to bing index. It was a long time of nothing and one day blow up almost all pages in bing index and on very good positions.
Maybe it only need time.
http://www.etswatchshop.com/ has External Backlinks 2,337 from domains without alexa rank; 5860 in G index, alexa 4 989 418 PR3,
http://www.mereplica.com/ has External Backlinks 13,611 from really nod bad domains, 13000 in G index, PR4, alexa 2 213 964
watchreplica.org/ has External Backlinks - 4,580; 1240 in G index, PR3, alexa - 171 751, 16 google links
it's hard to say, it need deeper analysis, maybe .org extension is significant factor?
they have employed a great number of backlinks since Jan, 7, 2012 and it can be an answer. You can lookup it on many tools like majesticseo and many other

Agree with Josh, link juice is can say "Page benefit" but from "natural SEO" perspective such a links look more natural and they are deeper than page-link.
I think it can create a good natural link structure.
On the other hand is nice when we care about users. E.g. if you put a link with specific answer in article which is solved on FAQ page with 300 labeled links it is really helpful to put a direct address to answer than to the FAQ page. It increases page usability.
but remember about common sense, too much water drowns the miller
Hi,
In my opinion you can treat is using KISS - keep it simply stupid. When you ask somebody on a street what does lcd.jsp mean you can't get a correct answer but if you ask about 'lcd" many people will tell you correct answer.
Think robots are created as we are... and now is a big trend to use "friendly links".
so www.example.com/tv/lcd is correct and more accurate.
and follow this rule you can build link pyramid:
www.example.com/tv/lcd/sony/model-xxx
and so on, it creates very good link structure
