Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Someone here pointed out that my server ip is on the SORBS-SPAM list and I was wondering if this was a big deal, and how it might have got there, and I would go about getting it off the list?

I have been working away on my site for almost a month now, following all the advice I have gotten here and things seem to be going great.  I have built a pretty large 400+ number of backlinks from blog posts, press releases, forum posts etc.  Everything is very nice and white hat, really almost nothing spammy at all, maybe a couple of blog comments that I shouldn't have made but nothing in the big scheme of things.  The problem is that my position in SERP has not changed at all.  Its strange my on page SEO got me to the first page of all my keywords but from there I have not moved a bit. I am local service site and I am still waiting for my pin from google places (third try) and I know that will have a huge effect on my main city. I also have landing pages in 3 other small local cities though and those haven't budged a bit either. I just wanted to see what people here had to say, possibly I am just not patient enough? it has been probably 1.5 weeks since my links really started to index and show up in webmaster tools.

I have a site that I have built with dreamweaver (local service business not a lot of new content needing to be added) and I am curious how much of an advantage for me converting it to wordpresss would be.  I see that cs5 works with wordpress and that lynda.com has a tutorial on integrating the two.  I would like to integrate a blog into my site, but it is not totally critical that I do so.  I would just like to hear what some of you experienced users have to say about the advantages of wordpress vs dreamweaver from an SEO prospective.

I have a local service site http://winecountrycarpet.com/ and I have been link building as much as possible for my landing pages (which aren't local to my city, but are within 20 miles).  I would like to keep my link building as above board and white hat as possible (so i do a lot of forum sigs and links in do follow forum in my industry)  I do not seem to be seeing any results though.  My pages are on the first page for their targeted keywords, but I think this has more to do with onsite SEO and non competitive keywords. I am wondering if anyone can recommend any strategies that I might find more effective.  I have thought about leaving blog comments on do follow blog's but it just seems so spammy its hard to imagine it working.  I am open to any ideas.

I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list somewhere of places I should enter in my business information.  I have done the usual google places, city search, yahoo, and many others.  i have just been cruising for places to enter my information, and I am sure I have missed some.

I would like to ad a blog to a few different pages of my site, is this possible? I would prefer it to not be a stand alone blog, because I am pretty sure it would begin to outrank my landing pages in search results. I built my site using dreamweaver, but I have seen a reference somewhere to a utility for adding a word press blog to an existing site? This site seems to be doing what I had in mind? http://www.drynclean.com/

I am having an issue with duplicate content that I can't seem to figure out.  I got rid of the www.mydomain.com by modifying the htaccess file but I can't figure out how to fix theproblem of  mydomain.com/ and mydomain.com

i have set up my local service site using my index page for my main city that I am targeting.  I have then created three more pages targeting three surrounding cities.  I am now link building using good anchor text to each of the appropriate pages.  I think I am doing right but i have read some stuff today that made me question my technique here is the site http://winecountrycarpet.com/ Thank you in advance for any advice I can get.

I am in the process of promoting my local service site at http://winecountrycarpet.com and I was wondering what you guys would recommend? i have submitted to a lot of directories and get any backlink I can.  I have also started writing articles and submitting them to sooper articles and Ezine articles, but I feel like I am doing something wrong.  I am open to any suggestions.
