Welcome to the Q&A Forum

OK, yes I understand, no problem. It would be good to hear suggestions from others as there may be a better way to represent all of what you want to be able to do. Peter

Fully agree with Ron. #1 reason = user experience. However breadcrumbs are internal links and are useful because internal links help crawlers get around your site.  Also it helps crawlers understand your sites structure and hierarchy/priority.  Also sometimes Google chooses to display breadcrumbs as a rich snippet type link/benefit.

Hi I have found that there isn't one community management tool that does ever thin that I want it  to do. If I had to choose my favourite I would probably say Hootsuite as it is the one that I find ticks the most boxes. If you have the pro version there is some very nice features that allow you to creat teams and assign posts to different team members. The scheduling and link shortening features are nice as well. You can also save searches and do some other nice things with it. But I also use a range of other community management tools as well. I would also check. Out Conversocial, Bitly, Tweetreach and Buffer too. I did a post about these tools a while ago. You will find links to each of them here http://www.conorbarron.com/?p=234 I hope that this helps. If you have any more questions please let me know.

This is an excellent illustration Marisa. Very good description, and I totally agree on the modified broad match.

Howdy, I've recently become a fan of WPengine for this reason - they've got some neat staging features, including, I believe, being able to stage changes, check them out, and push them live. But, that would probably require you to change hosting. That said, here's how I tend to move sites from development to production (or production to development). Someone who knows more might have some changes or suggestions, or an easier way, but this is what works for me: Install WordPress somewhere. Make sure its noindexed and/or password protect the directory. Download a copy of your wp-content folder from your existing site (this will pull all of your themes, plugins, etc.) Export a copy of your wordpress database (how to here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database) Open up your database in a text editor (I like Notepad++) and locate the first instance of your old domain name with the new one and then use find and replace to switch out all instances of the old domain name for the new one e.g. if it's noahsdad.com/ and you're moving to dev.noahsdad.com/ use find and replace to switch all occurances of noahsdad.com/ to dev.noahsdad.com/. Be careful to look at trailing slashes etc. Upload your wp-content file to the new wordpress install. Overwrite the old one. Open the database for the fresh WP install using PHPmyadmin (or the equivalent, on your server). Import the database that you conducted the search/replace on. The advantage of uploading the wp-content folders and then then database is that the Database changes while the files for plugins etc. are already in place. Therefore, it should retain many of the plugin settings so you won't get any serious weirdness due to an important plugin not working. Here's a guide that I like http://wpmu.org/migrating-wordpress-to-a-new-server/. It doesn't conform exactly to the method I use (they upload the database first), and it has some extra stuff in it like updating your nameservers which you should ignore, but it covers the database part pretty nicely. Hope this helps. Bede

It looks like that post is doing really well. I think SEO5's suggestion is the way to go. I'd be concerned about trying to over-optimize your current post that is already doing so well. You had some great comment activity, good social signals, all-in-all a great win for you. That page will probably continue to improve with time too, since it's a perfect link-bait kind of post. Congrats.

I'm currently looking for a good social sharing plugin for wordpress. I've tried Tweet & Like in the past and it was decent. I am trying out Tweet, Like, Plusone, and Share which had a good rating.

Hi Rick, the short answer is yes. The long answer begins with the Google Analytics developers website. You can do some cool custom tracking on your website using Analytics code snippets. I'd start here. From there you will likely read further and want to know about Event Tracking. Once you've set up Tracking for your site, you can use the Event Tracking Code Snippet to add the event to your URLs. For example: [AnchorText](#) Replace LinkName, ActionClick with whatever you would like to show up in your Analytics and replace AnchorText with what you are currently using now. Hope this helps!

Amazon have "astore" which you can incorporate (embed) into your own website.  I think you need seperate affiliate accounts for US and UK. http://astore.amazon.com/

Hi Noah's Dad, Here's how you do it for FB:_http://wpmu.org/login-with-facebook-on-any-wordpress-wpmu-or-buddypress-site-using-wp-fb-autoconnect_/ and here is the Facebook plugin: _http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect/_ and here is the Twitter plugin: _http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-twitter-connect/_

That's exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the info..

@Neil, Thanks for your comment. However, there are lots of guide out there to help learn the keyword research tool.  I'm just wanting to see if someone can suggest one (of the many) available. Perhaps one that has been helpful to them. Also I agre with you that it's not a good idea to depend on one tool for keyword research. I'd never do that. I was just asking for resources to become better at using one of the many tools (Google Keyword Tool) that I do use.

This is how I see it: Feedburner - Great for easiest most straightforward way to get your posts out to inbox with analytics.  It does that very well. Mailchimp - Gives you complete control over all the elements but it is a bit more to keep up with.  If you have a goal in the future to use the list of subscribers for an email campaign and have the time to devote to setting everything up, then this is a great option. JetPack - Since it is core to WP it is incredible simple to set up but it doen't let you generate a list of emails and has some big drawbacks to ultimate control.  It is the easiest setup and I think has some incredible developments in store.  Having everything in one place would be awesome but until it gives you a lot more control I would lean towards the other methods. I think the answer really depends on your future goals and your current expectations.

Intresting. I know that searching for upper case and lower case keywords do bring up different results. But that is keywords, I wasn't sure how url's were effected by upper / lower case.

Hi Noah's Dad, Great site, I'd not seen it before but I'm very impressed and take my hat off to you. See what you mean about the top most item in the main menus, and I imagine a large percentage of people wouldn't know to click on "Down Syndrome Resources". There's two ways to tackle it. The first option would be to have another link in the drop down menu with either the same name or "All Down Syndrome Resources". From a usability point of view I'd lean towards that. The other option would be to try and highlight the fact that the top menu text is a link. By convention most people associate underlined text with a link, so my suggestion would be that when someone hovers over it (or the submenu) to underline the top menu text. With having sub-categories for Therapy I think that's a great idea. If you had a smaller site with less content it may not be worth worrying about, but both for SEO and simply to make it easier for visitors to find what they're looking for I think that's the best thing to do. For category index landing pages I wouldn't change the structure that you have, just spice it up a bit. Having a blurb at the top followed by posts is a good way to do it, but the introductory text that you have at the moment is a bit hard to notice. On http://noahsdad.com/therapy/ for example the headline is a plain 'Archives For Therapy' and then the text colour is medium-grey on a grey background so it's easy for the eye to skim past it straight to the first post. If for that introductory section you have the text on a white background with a catchy headline and maybe a picture, I think that'll make a world of difference. That's about all I can think of for now but if I come up with anything else I'll let you know. In the meantime if you have any questions please let me know and I'll do my best to help. Cheers, Bruce

By far the best site availability monitoring tool I can recommend is Pingdom. Signing up for an account is free to monitor one website. You can have it email you or send a text message/tweet when your site goes down. You can also configure how long your site must be out before you get alerted, and how often to be alerted while your site is still down. Indispensable for understanding what's actually going on with your site. Paul P.S. Use the customizations when setting up the monitor so it's actually checking for the existence of a particular word on your page - that way you're testing whether your site is actually rendering, as opposed to just responding to a ping.

Yah, for sure. Do you use wildfire or snapapp much?
