No! Do not deindex your site.

There's something to be said about not doing everything at once. If you see lots of bad pages that will not be used and can not be redirected then let them go to 404. I think this is recommend on account of panda and only having good content and not redirecting bad content to good content. But you are losing link juice.

Merchant account is just the bank. I would do something like wells fargo.

Gateway would be authorize.net.

The best way is to have second in commands and account managers. This will allow the manager to focus on growing the business. Give each employee a high level of autonomy and allow them to make reasonable decisions that will benefit the company and the customer.

Each of these second in commands and account managers can have teams. One person that is skilled in a specific area. Another approach is to have account managers that report to separate teams of technical people. This can be annoying to the customer because the account manager is not technically savvy.

The most important thing is that the customers are satisfied.

A 50% click through rate is really high. Then a good conversion rate is 2%. So then you're dealing with 2-3 purchases. All that sounds reasonable. Bounce is just people that leave immediately, you're exit rate should also be considered.

Don't worry about these widgets. The major issue is keeping your page speed down. That's the primary issue with these widgets.

You can have one sitemap that shows all pages or you can have one sitemap index file that points to multiple sitemaps.

If you submit a sitemap index file to google then it will show that you have several sitemaps. I would do this for your regular site and your blog. But it doesn't really matter. The goal is to get your pages seen.

This is a great resource: http://sitemaps.org

BTW the stylesheet is not allow this sitemap to be seen in firefox: http://www.rmtracking.com/sitemap.xml

I really like account groups. Account managers that make money are sales people and can't answer questions or make estimates. They always take notes and have to get back to you. The goal is to make money and this maybe a more profitable way to operate. But on the other hand happier customers is more business. I like this idea:

Account contact and a group of tech/ specialists. Any of these people can be contacted.

Your question: account manager should usually be the primary point of contact.

Is there a bit of code or someway I can tell facebook, this is the image that should be used as default when this blog post or page is shared?

Thank you!

This clearly answers your question: http://www.webpronews.com/how-to-set-up-a-redirect-on-iis-nonwww-domain-name-to-www-domain-name-2005-09

I would highly recommend getting an individual to do it on elance. You can look at their ratings from previous projects and how much money they have made from this line of work. This way you can be sure that you are getting a proper writer to do this work. Additionally I would say - good job on the rewriting - this is necessary!

Check your robots.txt file to make sure you didn't disallow anything.

Check to make sure you didn't put a canonical tag on all your pages to point to your homepage.

I looked at your cache and you have 41 pages: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.energyacuity.com%2F&pws=0&hl=en&num=10

How can you see what pages are cached by bing. I'm basically looking for these google approaches for bing:

cache:domain.com

site:domain.com

Thanks

Do a search in your source code for coversion and you'll find:

• <a <span="">href</a><a <span="">="</a>/conversion-optimization">Coversion Optimization

OSE is really just a way to see what links OSE thinks are imporant (that are link to you). This is kind of a report. The real work is going out and getting links. OSE will not give you links, but report to you which one's you have. I really love SEObook toolbar for firefox. This shows me the links to a page and the TLD (entire domain) from OSE and also yahoo. Yahoo is also an excellent (if not better) resource for seeing all the links that are going to your site. Best ways to build links:
Guest blog posts, partnerships, produce content that people link to, articles distribution and press releases.

Hello,

Below is what I use. You need to have the modrewrite enabled if you are going to disallow index.php and even then it's still very risky. This may be part of the issue. Robots.txt is so important, but you need to know what you are doing. Especially when disallowing as much as that UK site is.

Sitemap: http://domain.com/sitemap.xml

Your navigation, header and footer should be as seo friendly as whatever your html sitemap links would be. But really this is distracting from the content of the page. I like one column, no navigation on your html page. Keep the look of your site. Keep the header and footer to look nice.

Have a look at how the pros do it: http://www.bruceclay.com/sitemap.htm

The goal is not to exchange links. The goal is to get links.

Link exchange websites are not good; stop using them.

Start producing content that people want to link to.

Advertise and don't link back.

Guest blog posts.

If you have canonical tags on these pages, don't worry about it. But you might want minimize these pages and/ or redirect them to a primary. The dynamic url "?" may also be making it hard for seomoz to see the canonical tag. I would ask seomoz here: http://www.seomoz.org/about/contact

Also SEOmoz checks all pages, whether they are cached by google or not.

- 75,000$?

google doesn't execute javascript - definitely go after simple html for links.

make sure your 301s are in place.

use seomoz crawler as well as google

search site:domain.com and see if any of the pages shouldn't be coming up or if 404s are there

use linksleuth (pc) to look at all the links in your site

make sure you dont change too much on the new site and keep it as close to the old as possible

keep title tags, content and number of links on pages as close to the old as possible - if not the same.

keep coming back to the forum with new questions.

Hello,

We get tons of comments on Facebook about our blog. We get no comments on our actual blog. So I'm really leaning towards putting facebook comments to replace my blogs comments - http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/13/series-a-whopper-benchmark-invests-33m-in-new-bi-company-domo/

I was looking at techcrunch's code and it looks like none of that information is actually being consider content on their site.

The code looks like:

Even with tons of comments. So I am thinking that a huge amount of facebook comments does nothing for your onsite SEO. You get no more content and nothing is changing on your page, despite even an unprecedented amount of conversation. Perhaps the only thing you would get from this is the off site SEO - which would be traffic and exposure on facebook.

I'm not asking if I should do this or not. I'm really asking: do you agree with what I said above.

Thanks

Tyler

Yes I disallow all internal site searches. This robots.txt breakdown for my ecom platform magento, disallows them, but allows indexation: http://www.e-commercewebdesign.co.uk/blog/magento-seo/magento-robots-txt-seo.php
