Email, phone, address on banner

Should I remove my email address, phone and address from banner and place only on contact us page? Does this matter for Google placement? thanks Trish

Are you talking about a banner ad or just a banner on your site?
If it is just a banner on your own site, I don't really see the harm and Google can't tell what is on the image. You should also contain the information in text on your contact page and possibly in the footer of your site.
If you are talking about an ad that appears on other sites, I wouldn't recommend this. You are using up valuable ad space and more than likely someone isn't going to call you or jot down your address before they click on the banner and check out your site.

Hi Wayne coll,
I totally agree with you, if we provide contact information on each and every page in a domain it is like user friendly, if visitors found all these information on a page where they landed, then they feel quite good.
And also, one small tip, we may have so many branches linked to our business(More than 10 Locations) rite at that time, in ContactUS page we can provide all branches information in this page and for inner pages we can provide MainBrach Name:Contact Number1, MainBrach Name:Contact Number2, MainBrach Name:Contact Number3 at the bottom of the page.
Actually this is the process we are following.
Thank you....

In my personal opinion it doesn’t matter if you have this information on every page on not but it has to be on the contact us page.
Talking from the user perspective if you think you are in the industry where people love to have contact information then place it on every page may be in the header or footer, Google won’t gonna have any problem within in normal cases!

David is right. Google just wants to give the ease to users. It's good tactics is you are providing your contact details without harm the content placement.

I agree with David. The last thing you want is for your visitors to have to search for how to get in touch. Best rule of thumb- hand that to them on a platter. Make it easy. I also agree that it should be text, not a graphic.

I always like to have contact info on every page it helps users and that is what google wants. Local business need this more then pure online stores but make sure its not on a image on the banner so google can read it

Is it a problem to have the same phone number on two websites in same niche?
is it a problem to have the same phone number on two websites in same niche? For instance if I had two completely different websites for one painting contractor client. All the content is completely different other than the logo and phone. It is in the same niche for "spokane painters and spokane painting contractor" .. will google see the same phone and penalize?

How do I address "Critical Factors: Accessible to Engines"?
Hello,I am going thru the on-page report card produced by SEOMOZ and am stumped as to how to address the first critical factor. It looks like the correct meta tag to get search engines to index the site is at the bottom of the header. And as far as I know, which isn't much, the site returns the HTTP code 200 when I refresh.I am new at this, so please let me know if you have some specific solutions. I am using IWeb and the IWeb SEO Tool to make meta code improvements. I have pasted the head code for my website (www.grass2greens.com) below.

Www vs "non" www site addresses and SEO
I first apologize for the lame question title - didn't really know how to word it... I'm having a bit of a conundrum and cannot figure out whats going on, but in the mean time I thought I would ask to see if its hurting my ranking. My site at www.ap-mg.com is built on WordPress using the Thesis them by DIY (just a little upfront info). I am very careful to make sure that all my links are in a particular format i.e. http://www.ap-mg.com - on my site, as well as other sites I have my profile on. My site also used to be hosted on the /home directory until about a month ago. My problem is that when I click on the DA MoxBar link while at my sites homepage, it takes me to Open Explorer, but to ap-mg.com and shows no results - I then add the www to the front of the address and vuala - results. But then the second issue I'm having is then it tells me that my site is redirecting the the /home directory, which its not and I'm still trying to figure that one out. So with all the craziness with my site, www, no www, /home....is this killing any chance of real ranking?
