Peter, where's that link (what page?) I don't see that when I follow the path i described in my earlier post.

Sorry not much experience here with product prices in the titles,  but I'm wondering if this only helps when you're competing on price and/or selling a commodity.

The problem with having a price in the title is that it's the first thing that people are going to see and if it's not competitive then you're in danger of losing the click through.

You've got no opportunity of stating your value proposition and benefits of your product before stating your price. I don't think it's something I'd advise.

It might work for ads using price to draw traffic to a particular offer, not sure the same would work on product pages.

My recommendation is to think about where your target audience / customers gather. You want to be where they are. This is going to vary greatly depending on your market/niche. Look for authoritative link opportunities from sites relevant to the website you're trying to promote.

An entry in a local directory is great for local tradesmen, but not so good for enterprise level business consultants.

Do your customers care that you're in DMOZ? Would they be interested in a review in a trade journal about the benefits your service/product can bring to their business?

Remember it's not just about links to improve rankings, it's about attracting relevant traffic to the site. So links that also get you direct traffic are also a win!

I can still access the videos by going to the "2012 Mozcon Video Bundle" under the Learn SEO menu. If I scroll down I can see the "MozCon Seattle Seminar 2011" and 2010 videos.

Just tried clicking on a couple and they play ok. (Did notice that some of the avatars are missing though.)

If you can't see these you might want to contact support. help[at]seomoz.org

(Putting Tom's valid observations to one side for a moment)

Just because it's your brand names doesn't mean that anyone cares!

Think about this from Google (or the searcher's point of view) if people are searching for website planet, are they more likely to be searching for your site or a website about planets? Looking at the search results, I'd say that Google's best guess is that they're looking for something about planets!

What volume of people are going to be searching for your site by your brand name?

Having very generic terms as your "Brand Name" means that you'll need to work hard to establish your brand, your unique selling proposition, your values et. It's not what you think it means, it's what it means to everyone else.

The other option, of course, is to find a brand name that's unique or at least much more specific.

Yup, your context and your goals etc are all going to play their part. I don't agree that H1 = your logo on your home page. That's a bit too black and white for me.

Do whatever you need to do - nothing to stop you modifying the theme!

<object id="plugin0" style="position: absolute; z-index: 1000;" width="0" height="0" type="application/x-dgnria"><param name="tabId" value="ff-tab-33"> <param name="counter" value="556"></object>

Don't agree that that H1 tag should be your logo and I don't think this is what Yeost was getting at either.

According to this article on his blog, he suggests that the H1 tag on the homepage should be the "Blog's Name."

Single posts then have an H1 equal to the title of the article, and category pages would have the name of the description/tag.

You've got to be careful not to confuse the semantic structure of the content and the branding.

The function of the logo is to provide your content with a consistent brand across all page types. This isn't specific to the home page.

Besides, there are lots of logos that don't spell out their names of the entities they represent so you might want to have both your logo/ident and then say your company name spelt out in the H1.

You could also argue that the subject matter of the home page is not actually the brand/entity name but the value proposition - the "what's in it for you" and I've seen that used at the H1 heading too...

Just ask yourself what makes things easier for visitors to understand/interpret the content on the page depending on the type of site/organisation etc.

You might just have to wait to be re-crawled, but if you've got your site registered with Google Webmaster tools then you can try using the fetch as Googlebot feature.

You can find this under Health | Fetch as Googlebot in Webmaster Tools.

You can find more info here:

Best way to get your pages indexed regularly is to keep adding good quality fresh content  and linking to older pages within your new articles (although do this is a natural/authentic way.)

Hope this helps.

As Alan said, if the pages don't have any inbound links then you're not going to lose any link equity by removing them. If the pages in question are not getting direct traffic or search traffic and don't have any links then I'd just delete them.

Otherwise a 301 redirect to the most relevant content is the best way to go.

Do a check for any internal links to these pages too. Your own links should be easy to fix. Remove them or point them at the better relevant content.

It might also be worth reviewing your 404 page. This can often be forgotten, but it can do a lot of the hard work guiding visitors to the content they're looking for.

What about associations with other local businesses, any sponsorships and events? Are there any local events that the business gets involved in or are related to the business?

Is there anything specific/unique about the different customers at different locations? How can you tune the content to target/engage this particular demographic.

Are their any landmarks or well known places you can talk about (while you visiting x why not pop in for a y...)

And as EGOL said, I definitely agree that you need to get the people who know the area and know their customers to provide (and maintain) the content. Can you do this in a way that raised their profile, boosts their ego and motivates them rather than just lumbering them with something else to do?

It's a great opportunity to promote their business to their customers...

It's probably worth speaking to your hosting provide to find out what services are running on your server. I'm guessing a bit, but I'm thinking it's probably some kind of backup / sync service...

If your hosting company does indeed say that it's a legitimate service then yes, you do want to filter these out of your google analytics.

Do you have a local version of your website hosted on your own machine (still with the analytics code live?)

Your best bet is to create a new profile (so you can always go back to your "normal" profile" and filter out traffic from the localhost domain.

Profile filters will only affect data going forward, not existing data. If you're trying to filter existing data, make an advanced segment to exclude "Source" containing localhost:4444.
