I just read this great article about location search. I am going o read it over and over again, but I wanted to ask...

When ranking organically for location searches, do you recommend posting articles (such as testimonials, etc) or build informative pages - that can link through the home page through the nav bar or through a drop down or what have you. There are so many ways to do it, what do you think is best?

Best practice for Wordpress /page/2/

I realize that it might be a minor point but it still bugs me. We have a blog with a number of posts. Content of the posts does not expire or age (in the rare case something changes, we do update the information in the posts). The wordpress blog is setup to display our latest posts and displays 15 posts at once. Since we have a lot of content, the older posts get pushed off the front page which is understandable and desirable behavior. However the pages that have older posts have names like "/page/2/", /page/3/, /page/4/ and so on. This does not look very SEO or user friendly to me. What do you think? Did you come up with something better then /page/ and then a number?

Website Building: Best practices for SEO and user interaction

I'm a noobie when it comes to SEO, with my knowledge coming from a few books and blogs. What are some of the best practices that you use when building a website for SEO and for user interaction? I've read about the following, but am not sure if they are still relevant. Also if you have any other suggestions, they would be appreciated. -Phone # above fold line. -A call to action above fold line on each page -An HTML sitemap -Terms & Conditions (supposed to create credibility in Googles eyes) -NAP in the footer of each page -Optimize each page for 1 unique keyword Are these correct and is there anything else that I'm missing?

If we use content copied from another site ( assuming we have not plagerized), does it hurt our Google Rankings?

We have permission from another company to copy their content and use it on our site. This happens when we are describing a manufacturer's product and we copy pages from their site and add these pages to our site in order to describe the product we are selling. Is this considered duplicate content? Can this practice hurt us?

What's the best blogging platform?

I've always used Wordpress without really giving it much thought, but I'm open to trying out a different platform for a new blog. Can anyone give me some advantages or reasons to move to a different platform? Thanks!
