Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As SEO's working for clients we can only advise on best practises and encourage the client to do what is best for SEO. However, the move to Joomla shouldn't be too bad? There are a number of plug ins for Joomla to make your life easier (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/sef). Not quite sure why they would 'delete' the site then build the new one. Makes more sense to build the newsite in a test environment then when its ready roll it out in a nice orderly fashion, thus avoiding any errors or foul ups!

I don't think there's a standard, but I definitely agree that you don't want too many words as scrolling can get a bit much. 328 is the limit of words allowed in a text message that you email someone. That would be a good guideline to start with.

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

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

They are not suggesting not to use alt tags, they are saying not to have a picture of your text, have readable text

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 wouldn't worry that it's missing a title tag; I'd just work on making sure that it's not indexed.

Would anyone know where i could fund affordable, reliable blog post writers who would be able to produce quality posts at affordable rates? Unless your website is about some yada yada yada subject I would only accept this type of advice from a person who is knowledgeable about your content area. So, to find qualified authors go out there and find out who is already writing about this subject with enthusiasm, authority and verve and see if you can convice them to write for you. .... and about your "affordable price"... you will have to pay them what they want or take your chances with getting content that will make you look like a fool.

You are welcome. Appreciate it if you mark it as answered
