We recently found our site had 65,000 tags (yes 65K). In an effort to consolidate these we've started deleting them. MOZ is now reporting a heap of 404 errors for tag pages. These tag pages should not have links to them so not sure how come they're being crawled. Any suggestions from experience in this area would be useful.

Should we set up redirects for all deleted TAGS?

Suburb Pages
Hey Mozers,
This is an old and often criticized method of SERP however we have a client who has requested we create suburb specific pages for their site.
PLASTIC PLANTS "SUBURB" NEED PLASTIC PLANTS IN "SUBURB"
They have shown us a competitor who is ranking for hundreds maybe thousands of suburbs in Australia using this method.
Any thoughts or experience in this area would be appreciated.

RE: Page Break
Thanks Oleg, are you saying that a piece with an article that goes into 3 breaks article/1 and article/2 and article/3 only counts as one visit if someone clicks through to all 3 pages?

Page Break
Hey guys,
A client has asked us to install a page break function on their Wordpress site in the hope of increasing page count.
It's a very common practice but have never used it as part of a strategy. Any thoughts, pros or cons?

Facebook Name Change and Effect on SEO
Hey Mozzers!
Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter.
Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them.
Any one had any experience in this area?

Anchor text with punctuation
Hey Moz
Does anchor text with punctuation effect anything, does google even read it?
I know matching exact anchor text to high volume keywords doesn't matter as much any more - but it still definitely makes a different as our reports show.
Thanks
