Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have used several writers on elance, Ordering just a few to begin with & getting a sample is a good idea, I would love to say that i have been 100% happy with the quality of the articles, but as yet that is not the case so always looking for someone better.

Getting links is one thing, having them followed and indexed is another, personally i use a few indexing services like : linklliciouse just to make sure they get crawled and indexed.

Yes lets hope they put this latest dance right quickly, at the moment they are firing arrows and completely missing the target.

Have to agree big change looming seeing sites doing the dance big time.

My personal point of view is if the content is 80%+ unique and has had a manual review to make sure that it is not Spam in any way so it makes sense  then it is fine for link building. How ever others will tell you this not the way to build a brand.

They are the same url with different addresses, I can tell you on my sites i add code to the htaccess file to redirect the /index to the actual home page url, this removes the fact that you have duplicate content as both pages are the same & stops both types being indexed, recommend you Google this problem to get the right code for your host server as they do differ. Hope this helps but might not be what you where looking for.

Yes you can change them any time, when the page gets crawled again the description will be updated  in search results, try to avoid duplicates & I also recommend  putting your keywords in the page meta but at the same time maintaining good quality description for the end user.

Hi Yes a lot of us in the same boat from this recent update which i hope will sort itself out soon, one day i am getting a message from Google in webmaster tools that the site experiencing high volumes of traffic from quality content & it recommends placing more next thing it drops about 10 pages in Google for several keywords, Like thanks Google we love you to.

Hi

Please look at this : http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/duplicate-content

Hi

The domain is not first for wooden signs, in fact i cannot find it  however Google will rank a site higher if the domain has a connection to the keyword or phrase, but there are factors to consider, most sites will rank first place for there domain name although when it comes to more competitive keywords or phrases then other ranking factors come in to play, also if a site is new Google will often rank the site higher for a short time.

Are you referring to duplicate page content? if so this could be down to the design template of your site. i.e same header, sidebar, footer on each page e.c.t .if so I would not worry to much about it as long as the main content is different on each page, I f you are referring to pages that are identical this can be produced by php software creating duplicate pages i.e  /page1 could also be /something else, If so you could identify the structure of the url and instruct your sitemap generator program to ignore the undesirable url, or webmaster tools has a section for this also i believe.

With out logging in it would be hard to access but this one is your blog home page : http://www.fateyes.com/blog/ , so should be listed under 1 of four sections in your admin panel, post,page,all in one seo settings or theme settings.

Google has not Stopped there robot.text checker you can find it in webmaster tools under blocked url's.
