Hi Uds,

I wouldn't say it's worth moving them... I suspect the links are all in the footers any way? (which pass less juice).

If you have 50 sites on one host from the same C block all linking back they are not going to pass as much juice as say 50 links from various high quality sites.

Hi Pieter,

They are google local listing results, on a mobile device the number is displayed as a call button.

You will need to setup a Google Places account (which is now integrated with Google+) and get it to rank in order to show up with a call button in the SERP's.

I did a blog post on Google Places Optimisation that you might find useful.

Hey Debora,

Any luck?

Hi,

You have a robots.txt file here: http://www.soobumimphotography.com/robots.txt 

Can you write this again in English so it makes sense?

"I called Godaddy and told me if I used any plug ins etc.  Godaddy fixed .htaccss file and my site was up and runningjust fine."

Yes google xml sitemaps will add the location of your stitemap to the robots.txt file - but there is nothing wrong with your robots.txt file.

I would try and vary them if possible... Spending the most time on your sites product description.

This could also help your listings / website stand out from the rest.

Was your site down during this period?

I would recommend setting up pingdom.com (free site monitoring), this will email you if your site goes down - I suspect this is a hosting related issue.

FYI, I can access your robots.txt fine from here.

Yes as I said above

Sorry, I completely misread this question (I missed the part where you said you had to .htaccess files!).

Yes put one .htaccess file in the root dir, add the blog rewrite rule to the bottom of the file.

Let me know how it goes.

Yuk mod_rewrite...

Try:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.example.com/blog/ [R=301,L]

You may wish to add $1 on the end

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://www.example.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

Let me know if that stops it looping...
