We inherited some sites from another vendor & they have these tags in the head of all pages. Are they of any value at all?

Thanks for the help!

What I can recall from Matt Cutts is that Google is pretty much ignoring all meta tags besides the 'description' one. Given the fact that I've never even heard of this one, I think it is pretty save to assume it is of no value (atleast to search engines).

Check out this article - http://www.metatags.org/meta_http_equiv_imagetoolbar

"Using this imagetoolbal tag doesn't influence your ranking with the search engines."

It should be okay to delete them.

Newby question about 301 redericts

I work for a design firm who has been updating a website for a client. In addition to a new look, we've consolidated redundant pages for a more streamlined site. My question is this: when I have replaced 3 somewhat redundant pages on the old site with 1 page on the new site, should I 301 redirect all the former pages to the one new page. I know this question is beyond basic but I'm pretty new to SEO, so be gentle.

Title Keyword Order Question

Hey there, Hoping someone could provide me with an answer / some insight into this. As an example, if I were to be targeting "Fish markets in" and "Fish shops in" as my keyword(s). And my site name was "The Fish Guide". I am trying to populate my title tags as best as possible without sacrificing readability and definitely making an effort to avoid the the spam-factor. Ideally I'd like to rank well (just focusing on titles at the moment, nothing else) when a user searches for "Fish markets in London" and **"Fish shops in London" **or "Fish markets in Los Angeles" or "Fish shops in Berlin" etc. If I were to use the following structure in my titles (in this case for London): "Fish markets and fish shops in London - The Fish Guide" Would this work as I hope? I.E. If a user searched for either "Fish shops in London" or "Fish markets in London" would the format of my title in this example work or would I need to have "Fish Markets in London" and "Fish Shops in London" grouped together? E.G. "Fish Markets in London - Fish Shops in London - The Fish Guide" Thanks!

Question about creating friendly URLs

I am working on creating new SEO friendly URLs for my company website. The products are the items with the highest search volume and each is very geo-specific
There is not a high search volume for the geo-location associated with the product, but the searches we do get convert well. Do you think it is preferable to leave the location out of the URL or include it?

The Ultimate Question

This is probably going to look bad, but Im going to do it anyway. Ive owned my own business for over twenty five years. Due to the economy and a health crisis, my business has come to an end. Im left pretty much with nothing except my family, which is on shakey grounds as well. anyway. Ive been working on the IM, SEO thing for about two years. Ive made some money, but nothing that would make a difference to my situation. I now have a site in a competitive niche. The site is rated A by the app here on seomoz. But my site is lacking in authority backlinks. I write my own posts, about two a day, and honestly, it is of much better quality than those ranking . My site stays right around #11. Every other day, the site goes to #7 or 8. When that happens, I make between 300-400 a day. Then it falls back to 11. So the on site is good, rated A here. My site is speedy Not enough backlinks The content is good I was foolish enough to believe the G story about backlinks not being important. Concentrate on the content. All of that crapola. The sites that are ranking well have all the typical xrumer links. Totally not related links. Junk. And from what Ive seen, I believe the sites ranking 1-3 are making about $1000. a day. So you can imagine what being this close, after losing so much is doing to me. So.... Right now I am just writing content, pinging, social bookmarking and submitting rss feeds daily. Does anyone have any real information on how to bump my site up in rankings. Please, no stories about guest blogging, or attempts to sell me your SEO service I know I would do it for someone else and I have many times in the past. If you can help me, please reread, and contact me. I wish you all the best. Sorry for the melodrama.

Another 301 redirect question - penalty?

Good Morning, We have 2 sites have images and minimal text on them. The images have links that point to a 3rd site that facilitates eCommerce. Question: If we 301 redirect these sites permanently to yet a 4th site… 1) Does it violate any G’s guidelines 2) Should we delete the links embedded in the images (as they point to the 3rd site) Thanks
