Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm afraid you will have to SEO the other page to the top.

Oh, sorry...

Yeah, it looks like the limit is 50, perhaps you should contact support.

It's not a good practice, so be careful and only pick relevant ones.

Whether or not they loose their ranking depends, but if they aren't indexed anymore, then their rating is probably gone.

I'm not trying to be mean, but everything. I'd recommend you to use WordPress and buy a theme from a marketplace. Or, develop some digital common sense in regards to websites, design and content.

I think it looks very spammy & unprofessional.

Google's goal is to return the best and most relevant results to the user, regardless of the top-level domain. If their system determines that the best result is a page on a new gTLD, they'll return that page in search results.

You and many others that ask questions here are simply not doing enough good SEO (content, optimization, design, social, etc.). Focus on applying the practices outlined on SEOmoz by 100% and you'll be on a good way.

From what I know, it's just a continuation of the penguin updates. If you failed to adjust since the 1st update was released, then you'll end up worse. However, 3.0 only affects 0.3% and is mostly targeted at EMDs.

You forgot to include a link to your website...

I agree, if it even makes the slightest sense to have social media, have it.

It doesn't have to take up a lot of your time, (if possible) use apps like Buffer to keep it updated regularly and interact with some followers. It sends the right signals to Google.

Apparently, you need to submit your site as a news source to them.

It's important to keep in mind that you can't host (certain) videos intended for commercial use on Vimeo, unless you get the PRO membership for ca. $200 a year and it complies with the PRO guidelines.

You can read all about it here:

Nope, perhaps it's some extension that you use at both locations.

30% is quite a big drop, but e-commerce sites are more vulnerable to such fluctuations. Obviously, if it stays this way, then it wasn't a fluctuation. Also, yes, they do inform you of issues with duplicate content.

Here's a post on link penalties...

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/identifying-link-penalties-in-2012

It depends on the size of the fluctuation and what your site is about.

No, because that's (almost) impossible and Google's market share is close to 90%.

It's under settings in the left navigation menu. It's pretty easy to set-up.

You're welcome!

Well, if something's wonky, you will receive an internal notification (in Google Webmaster Tools). If you want to receive email notifications, you can enable that in the settings and you can choose to receive all kinds of notifications or only critical ones.

I recommend that you take the time to regularly read about the developments in SEO, otherwise you'll be months behind, as you currently are.

Use common sense rather than metrics to decide which links will be good for you. If it's not relevant and from a credible source, then there's little use.

Here's a great video from Wil Reynolds about good link-building strategies...

No, things like these are not advisable.

I just corrected it after looking at your link, learnt something new... kudos to you!

You should use dashes...

I've heard it's a good book, but it's pricey and nearly 700 pages long. I'd say that online content (alone on SEOmoz) will suffice.

No, but it does seem to cover the fundamentals pretty well... However, since it's about 4 years old, costs money and will require a large amount of time to read through, I don't approve of it.

I would make them all read the SEO Beginners Guide from SEOmoz... then I would send them individual links to the SEOmoz Blog filtered by category and/or keyword depending on what they do or are specialized in, so that they could do their own research.

Here's a somewhat technical guide for SEO by Google:

http://www.google.com/de//webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf

I don't know any other exact technical resources, but I am sure that you'll find plenty on Google.

...this book was published in 2005.

I've also checked the numbers and they're obviously wrong, both for exact and broad. It's possible that they've confused something and made a mistake, but judging from your screenshot, they don't seem very professional anyways.

If I were you, I would contact them to investigate this...

Just keep it as it is, the change isn't worth the decrease in usability. Plus, things like this usually don't have any significant impact on SEO. However, you should really work on improving the homepage, it's too cluttered and doesn't look very good either.

No, because Google isn't that stupid about stop-words, they're special for a reason. Google knows that when you search for "builders manchester" you actually are looking for builders IN manchester and not the dude that snagged the exact-match domain (e.g. "www.manchesterbuilders.co.uk" -- in most meaningful cases).

However, it's possible to have something like "manchester builders" on your page and rank high for "builders manchester" -- understanding how people search can be very profitable.

I hope this clarifies everything... if not, SEOmoz has some great blog posts about keyword research.

You're welcome!

If you're looking for exact searches, it will only show exactly how many people are looking for that exact search (with the "in" in it or without the "in" in it). If you turn it to broad, it will show the same. It can be a bit confusing, but it's actually really simple.

Hello!

1. I'll quote Matt Cutts on this "...just make sure that you have the words that you want to have on the page, make sure that they read naturally and you should be in pretty good shape." So, this tells us that there are no precise rules to stick to, only rough guidelines.

However, it's still better to have more than 100 words per page, especially on content pages (e.g. about page, features, blog posts, etc.), where it is wise to have a minimum of 300 words, but remember, only if it makes sense.

Here's a video by Matt Cutts on this topic...

2. Yes, search engines do ignore certain words, these are so-called "stop-words."

You can read about them here...

It's generally recommended to have your blog on your own domain, you can do this easily by installing WordPress into a "/blog" directory on your website, which would result in something like this...

www.website.com/blog/

In-house for my own sites and freelance for local firms.

It's great if all you want are a few quick, illegitimate and useless (most people won't read the content) shares. However, if you want your content to be shared and read by real people, then work on building an active audience with good practices. It's definitely tough at the beginning, but it will pay off.

Hey,

I think Squidoo would be the better choice, because of the community and easy of use. I don't think the user-base of HubPages will be very receptive to any promotional efforts from you, because that's simply not their thing. HubPages is more formal and professional, whereas Squidoo is the opposite and thus, in my opinion, would be a better choice for you.

Here's an example of a relevant Squidoo lens...
