Any pointers for my site would be greatly apprecieated and rewarded.

We just started changing all the meta data and adding relevant blog content. Anything I'm missing? Any advise or "after panda" link building strategies?

1. You do not need the keywords meta tag at all.
I've been working on this one.
2. The description should be in sentence form, not a list of keywords. It should be written as a 1-2 sentence sales pitch.
Working on this as well for products as well as the home page.
3. You can put your brand name at the end of the title tag to give more weight to the keywords. Just keep it under 70 characters so it doesn't get cut off.
Will that really give more weight to the keywords? If so then why?
4.You have a bit of CSS and JS in the source code. Get that into an external file.
I will let my client know to do this, but what are the benefits?
5.The canonical tag is missing.
I thought this was for only duplicate content?
6. Maybe you want to use some social sharing buttons, and include the FB open Graph meta tags (i see you have them on the blog, that's good)
You really think I need them on the home page as well? Should I include the open graph meta tag on all pages or just one?

Some more things on second glance...

My site got hacked and now i have 1000s of 404 pages and backlinks. Should i transfer my site to a new domain name and start again?
My site was hacked and I had 1000s of pages that should not exist created and has had 1000s of backlinks put in. Now i have the same pages and backlinks redirecting to 404 pages. Is this why my site crashed out of google and my SEO fixes since have made no progress to my problem?

Great SEO Agency
Hi again all, I have appreciated all the help from the community as we are rebuilding our site. Currently we are looking for a great SEO consulting firm to help us with a number of key SEO related tasks and strategies. I have looked through the recommended list MOZ provides: http://moz.com/community/recommended, but I wanted to get everyone's take on who they thought was the "best" - on that list or otherwise. We are looking for an agency that can help us optimize the site, create an ongoing strategy, help with link building, help with sitemap creation and management (5 million + pages, primarily dynamic) and possibly help with content. Anyone have recommendations they could share? Thanks David

Google Site Warnings via Phone?
I received a voicemail earlier stating that "there are two issues with your company's current Google listing that we need to discuss with the business owner. it is very important that we talk as soon as possible. press 1 to speak with an agent immediately. press 8 if you have already verified your account information or if you are no longer in business and want to be removed from this list. thank you" that's it. no contact number, no reference to what listing or what type of listing (organic, places, etc.) Checked GWT, GA, and the Gmail - there are no warnings or messages in any of those accounts. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are Wordpress sites being dinged by Google? Read a few articles regarding.
I read a couple "SEO" related articles that sites built in Wordpress are going to be dinged by Google because Google sees Wordpress sites as simple to make and a higher potential to be "spammy". Is there any truth to this? Your thoughts? I do give "thumbs up" and "best answer" marks and appreciate receiving thumbs up myself... Thanks
