Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Great...thanks Sean for the response.  Just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the response.  This is the exact answer I was looking for.  It's not the main navigation system, so I think we are good to get rid of it.

Hi All...

We have a client who wants to really minimize and simply their website.  They want to remove some of the footer info.  Obviously we do not want to remove any contact or address but they would like to remove the footer menu system.

I have read various things about it NOT effecting SEO and that it is there for user navigation and usability.

Thoughts?  Opinions?

Thanks for the responses.  This is the exact information that we were looking for.  This is a client of ours that decided to build a different, competing website with another company.  They made it up the rankings right off the bat due to link farming and then they completely dropped off Google altogether.

Most likely we are going to go with the new domain.

If we redirect the bad domain to the new one, will any bad link juice come with it?  They really want to keep the domain.

New client had a domain get flagged by Google and disappear from search rankings.  He left is old website company and wants us to design new site using the flagged domain.  Are we better off using a new domain or try to resurrect the flagged domain?
