Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Unfortunately these kind of companies pop up all over the place. We need to be vigilant and educate people about potential fraud tactics like this.

Hi Guys

I have a very good client with whom we have been working with for over 2 years.

When we 1st arrived, their website was built in Wordpress. During our SEO, the dleted the site and changed it to Drupal over night.

Youc an imagin i went balistic and its been a horrid year in getting all the rrors down and redirects etc.

Finally done

I have just been informed that they will be deleting the website from Drupal to Joomla again!

This is crazy as we have finally fix all the rrors and are driving quality traffic to the site. Now its back to square one...

What do i do?

ps the change from Drupal to Joomla is due to MYSQL issues

Hi there

I am doing a mobile website for a client and they asked me what the dieal word count would be per page.

They are SEO conciosu but we are not doing SEO on this site. I would just like to know a general rule of thumb.

Hi Karl

WIX is a great tool for building websites easily. Unfortunately, WIX is not SEO friendly as it is a FLASH based.

Flash is a big no no for SEO as the SERPS cant read flash and images.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they are great and authoritative links so was finding it strange that they weren't being picked up.

Looking forward to the 4th of Jan

Hi David,

I am using seomoz and majestic seo to see my links. Im just concerned to see that my links aren't being picked up.

Would you recommend to ping links and how many links to ping at a  time?

Hi there mozzers,

Got a quick question regarding link building. I built a fsir bit of links, and was just wondering when these links will be indexed as links pointing to my sites?

Silly novice question but been over a month and links still arent being picked up, so was just wondering.

Great way of relating this to the drive way story. I agree, dont do it, you will drop as fast as you rank.

Yes unfortunately not an option. The website is huge and is built in 1.5 > Cant get out of this one unfortunately. Any suggestions?

Yes i also noticed this, especially with top keywords that i optimized for. Previously returning huge search results and no they are returning 0. I have a feeling it has to do with some kind of update that is taking place in googles backed and i wouldn't be too concerned for the time being. I would stick to my guns if i were you and maybe concentrate on other SEO aspects while this great tool is returned to normal.

Open Search Explorer helps with Facebook likes and shares on a  domain including Google +

Hi there

I have a domain which is built in Drupal 1.5 . We managed to redirect all nodes to the actial SEF URL.

The one issue we have no is redirecting the taxonomy urls to the SEF url.

The obviuos answr is to do a manual 301 redirect n the htaccess file but this will a long process as there are over 500 urls affected.

Is there a better way to do this automatically within Drupal?

Your thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Hi there Alexander

Personally i would look at the following seeing that you want to have areas in your service at urls'.

mydomain.com/Florida/surety-bonds/Contractor-License-Bond/

That way you can build relevance over the area for other services too such as below if you know what i mean

ie. mydomain.com/Florida/bonds-now/license/

SEOMOz said it best:http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

Build a company blog and make it a valuable, informative and entertaining resource

• This content and link building strategy is so popular and valuable that it's one of the few recommended personally by the engineers at Google (source: USA Today & Stone Temple). Blogs have the unique ability to contribute fresh material on a consistent basis, participate in conversations across the web, and earn listings and links from other blogs, including blogrolls and blog directories.

Concentrate on creating good, original content for your users and the rest will come.

Sorry for late reply guys. Great advice by both of you.

@ Alan, great display on how Page Rank flows. Great illustration which i totally could never explain to clients

I was reading  the "How Search Engines Work" which is chapter 1 of the Beginners Guide to SEO by SEOMOZ.

Came across an interesting point:

"Don’t put the text that you want indexed inside images. For example, if you want your company name or address to be indexed, make sure it is not displayed inside a company logo."

Surely most people will alt text their images with keywords or am i missing something here?

Nice, i really like that example that you gave. My one is similar and categorized too. Question still remains, do i ignore this warning for this page?
