Coding hurting SEO?
Hi There While the CSS isn't ideal, it's ranking impact is likely in the .01% range of factors. There's lots of other things much more important. Did you see a drop in rankings or traffic when you installed the new theme? Or are you just afraid it will hold the site back from further in increase? I'd look more heavily into "local SEO". Here are a few sites and resources; http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/ http://www.localseoguide.com/ http://moz.com/blog/everybody-needs-local-seo Local SEO involves getting your local listings in order, acquiring reviews etc. Moz also has a new Local service: https://moz.com/local/overview You can also check out something like http://www.whitespark.ca/ - they have some of the best Local SEO services. Secondly, you'd want to make sure your content is the BEST and most authoritative source of info about your industry in your general area. For example this page kind of just talks around the services, http://orange-restoration.com/services/san-diego-water-damage/ but if I were to be honest it feels as if it was written just to have content on the page for search engines. (ie: "san diego" and "san diego water company" appear over and over again. ) Instead you can focus the page as best as you can on helping to educate and inform the user. What would you teach a customer about water damage if they were standing right in front of you looking for help?

Why isn't my Campaign Data updating?
Hey, Welcome to Moz pro. If you click on "About your data" which is on the right hand side just above domain authority, it will give you all the info on how often each section is updated. Not all elements update at the same time. Some are daily whereas others are weekly. I would wait for a few days and if you still haven't received anything then get in touch with a member of the Moz help team. I'm sure you'll see some updated data in a couple of days. Another potential reason could be because Moz just updated the user interface for the campaign data (about a week or two ago). They may be having some intermittent problems with data presentation or collection. Hope this helps.

A friend has a question about buying and using a domain
There are a lot of factors to this. It falls into the famous "it depends" seo answer 1. Do you want the email address to appear more professional? If not, then just get a gmail address that is easier to manage and troubleshoot that a server controlled email. I'm sure you could find something like BikramSCV@gmail.com available. 2. Do people (and Google) associate the abbreviation "SCV" with the local area? Doing a few searches in Google should let you know this very quickly. If so, then use the shorter domain. If not, then the longer domain since it includes the "yoga" and "santa clarita" keywords. You could at this point use the other domain for email, if the professional appearance is important to you. I did a few searches in Google for you, and it appears that they do not put the two together, and it shows different results for each phrase. BUT, that does not mean that users don't associate them together. Try and think of how your site will be searched for, and make your domain choice accordingly. You could also spend a few moments looking up other domains, just to see what is catchy, and available.

Sandboxed?
Thomas, could you review your response and edit with a keyboard? Some of the formatting is off, making it a bit confusing to understand. Thanks!
