Soulf I use follow or no follow and why?
-
Is someone able to suggest the pros and cons of using follow or nofollow for comments please.

Hi Joanne
Nofollow attribute is very important , "Nofollow" is generally used to tell search engines Don't follow links on this page. You don't trust on links which are linking to your site. So you can discourage untrusted user comments or guestbook entries in your comment page . If you want to use "Follow" then you have to moderate each and every comment on your page so Nofollow is batter option.

Using Brand Descriptions
We have an online site with approximately 800 products. When we add new products we typically use the photos and product description provided by the brand. The problem is there are numerous other sites using the same descriptions. All other content on the site is original. Is having small blocks of content that are the same on multiple sites likely to cause problems with Google?

Should we be using a blog for news
Our domain has/had a blog on a seperate subdomain. However we were a little slack in always keeping this up to date when we are particularly busy. Rather than reinstating the blog, I have been adding all our new articles directly onto the website rather than as blog posts. Is there any advantage from an SEO perspective to posting articles to a blog rather than as content on a site?

What Website Visual Structure Software Do You Use?
I need to continually create website trees for our group of websites. I was wondering what software you guys use to create site structure/trees? I've used Powerpoint, Giffy and other diagram software but ideally I want to find something that crawls my site and spits out a diagram and also gives me the option to add none existing trees so I can show new purposed sections. Cheers, Gary
