QR codes, when to use them
-
When is best to use them and are they really used?

Hi! This post mentions that Diego Gopen is the CEO at uQR.me. If you are Diego, can you please be sure to disclose that you have a relationship to the company you've been recommending in questions that have been dormant for 1-2 years? Thanks so much for understanding!

Hi there,
here you can find many many ideas and statistics to answer you question:
-
I would assume you want to use the URL variety (QR codes simply hold data and are agnostic to what they hold). I find they work best in static settings (for the end user) where the QR code is used as a hook to draw the user to your website.
- Print magazines (best use)
- Sponsorship ads (i.e. a local ballfield, etc.)
- Brochures
- Mailings
Places to avoid QR codes
- Billboards (if you thought texting and driving was bad...)
- Tattoos (the permanent kind)
- Bumper stickers

Does a similar CMS fabric/theme used by 2 colleagues, cause SEO issues?
Does using the same CMS fabric/theme with substantially different content for each website but the same business address (on google places and the websites) cause SEO issues? For example: 2 colleagues with somewhat similar services located at the same business addresses desire to use the same CMS fabric /theme but will have different content on the sites. Will this hurt their SEO / should they use a different website skin/theme?

Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us in regards to accessibility?
Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us? It's an accessibility error that our devs have made - using a label element because it looks good, not because it's an actual label on a form field. Just wondering how that affects accessibility in Google's eyes.

Will google penalize a website for using a table layout?
I just got a new client today and his entire website layout and structure is using tables instead of divs. This client is on a tight budget and wants to avoid unnecessary hours for re-coding the website, but at the same time he wants me to improve his SEO organically. This is the first time I've been asked to do work on an existing website that uses pure tables for the entire layout and I'm wondering if this effects the SEO in any way. So my question is, will tables effect rankings and SEO in any way?

Thoughts on using a CDN?
I'm trying to decide if I should use a CDN to speed up my site. I've never used one before, but I do know that there are a lot of images on my site and I think that could help a great deal. Are they hard to set up? Are there any down sides? And are the pricey? Also I'm not sure even sure if it would make a difference for me, but I want to work on getting my site faster. Thanks.
