RE: Which is the best wordpress sitemap plugin
I've used it before and it works a treat but I want one that updates dynamically.

RE: Which is the best wordpress sitemap plugin
Looks good - I'll check it out for other sites, this one is using Genesis which has most of this built in.

Which is the best wordpress sitemap plugin
Does anyone have a recommendation for the best xml sitemap plugin for wordpress sites or do you steer clear of plugins and use a sitemap generator then load it up to the root manually?

RE: Will removing old (3 years+), low quality inbound links potentially improve my rankings?
Fair enough - the last thing I need is another job on the list

RE: Will removing old (3 years+), low quality inbound links potentially improve my rankings?
Interesting points. We are currently working on building quality links both with better content on the blog and site, also by pro-actively engaging with bloggers in the client's niche.
Some of the links do look very spammy as the client previously engaged what I'd politely call a questionable SEO firm who just bought a lot of links - this is going back a few years when it probably didn't cause the same penalty it would today, but I suspect some of these links are still hurting them a bit.
I'd love to know if anyone has actually set about removing low quality links as a tactic and seen an improvement in ranking as a result.

Hi Saibose,
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll add it to the job list as a fairly low priority.

Will removing old (3 years+), low quality inbound links potentially improve my rankings?
I have a client site with thousands of old very low quality links purchased from directories etc over several years - I am certain these are doing nothing for the current rankings and I advised them to stop buying these links 18 months ago when I first started working with them, but do you think pro-actively getting old poor quality backlinks removed will potentially improve the site's rankings?
