Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am currently running an old software called gallery2 on my website. I used it for years to showcase some of the work I have done. I switched over to Next Gen gallery some time ago, but I still have my gallery 2 online. Gallery 2 isn't really available on my website anymore unless people find it through search engines. The only reason I didn't delete it years ago was because I didnt know how that would effect my rankings.

At the moment its not working...and instead of figuring out why, Id like to go ahead and remove it.

How should I deal with any dead links? The problem is that I had a few hundred photos on gallery, so there will be an overwhelming number of dead links.

I was thinking of making a new page on my site and just put all of my NextGen galleries on the page... and then just 301 everything that was located at /gallery2 to my new gallery page.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am trying to market my company to North Carolina & West Virginia. This is a bit of a challenge since the name is "Decorative Concrete of Virginia."

My idea was to create landing pages for the specific areas (Greensboro & Raleigh, NC for now)....

A new landing page them that I purchased came with a plugin that would allow you to generate a ton of landing pages with little effort by replacing some elements of the landing page, depending on the URL...

For example, I have these two URLs set up right now:

http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/northcarolina/test/raleigh/nc

http://www.decorativeconcreteofvirginia.com/northcarolina/test/greensboro/nc

My question is...

Is merely changing the city in each landing page enough, or should I change some of the other content too?

I was going to create one landing page for NC, and then try to include all of the cities on that one page... but perhaps it would be easier to rank if I had one for each city.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I hope this isn't too basic of a question, but I am confused about something.

If you use the Keyword Research tool and type in "Stained Concrete Flooring", the 3rd result (stainedconcrete.org) has the lowest numbers of any of the sites in the top 8-10...

Is it because they have a large amount of traffic? or is there some other factor that I am missing?

The keywords that I target are phrases that wouldn't ever be used in a sentence... Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia

My question is... Is it better to use the phrase, even though its odd?

Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia is a great product

Or is it better to make it a natural sentence?

Ex: Stained Concrete in Virginia is a great product?

Im trying to find a way to use my keyword phrases at least 4 times in the content of the pages...but it seems difficult if I have to use such an odd phrase.

Thanks!
