RE: Google Webmaster Tools Sitelinks Demotions
Thanks Martljn. At least I know it's not just me. Strange.

Google Webmaster Tools Sitelinks Demotions
Does anyone know if the sitelinks demotions tool actually works. I went in and demoted a bunch of pages on my site but the pages are still showing up as sitelinks in search results. I did this like 2 months ago so I am assuming that is plenty of time for it to take.
Any help with this would be great.
Thanks!

Should H1 tags include location?
I have an IT services company that is based out of Denver. In the past I always used Denver in the H1 tag like this "Denver IT Support & Managed Services" or "Denver Data Center Solutions"
I know that H tags are not that important any more but I still want to put them on each page. My question is in a post panda world do those look too spammy? Should I not include Denver on each page. I have about 25 service pages that I was going to do this for. Each page will be different because of the service but I was going to include Denver on each page.
On that same note how, I normally put never in the title for each page. Should I rethink this also?
Obvisouly I want to rank on Denver and the service.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks

Link Structure & Duplicate Content
I am struggling with how I should handle the link structure on my site. Right now most of my pages are like this:
Home -> Department -> Service Groups -> Content Page
For Example:
Home -> IT Solutions -> IT Support & Managed Services -> IT Support
Home -> IT Solutions -> IT Support & Managed Services -> Managed Services
Home -> IT Solutions -> IT Support & Managed Services -> Help Desk Services
Home -> IT Solutions -> Virtualization & Data Center Solutions -> Virtualization
Home -> IT Solutions -> Virtualization & Data Center Solutions -> Data Center Solutions
This structure lines up with our business and makes logical sense but I am not sure how to handle the department and service group pages.
Right now you can click them and it just brings you to a page with a small snippet for the links below. The real content is on the content pages. What I am worried about is that the snippets on those pages are just a paragraph or two of the content that's on the content page. Will this hurt me and get considered duplicate content?
What is the best practice for dealing with this? Those department/service group pages have some good content on them but it's just parts of other pages. Am I okay doing this because there are not direct duplicates of other pages just parts of a few pages?
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Business/Personal Blog Duplicate Content
Thanks guys. I was thinking about using the rel canonical tag so I think I will go that way. I would love to be able to write unique content for each blog but I know it's just not realistic with my time constraints.
Thanks again for the help.

Business/Personal Blog Duplicate Content
Quick Question. I am in the process of launching a new website for my IT business which will include a blog. I also want to start up my personal blog again.
I want to publish some blog posts to both my business and personal blogs but I don't want to have any duplicate content issues. I am not concerned with building the SERPs of my personal blog but I am very focused on the business blog/site.
I am looking for some ideas of how I can publish content to both sites without getting hurt by duplicate content. Again, I am not concerned with building up the placement of my personal site but I do want to have a strong personal site that helps build my name.
Any help on this would be great.
Thanks!

RE: Value of key word based URL
Thanks for the help guys.
I will not get into anything like that but it will be interesting to see if they maintain that position.
Thanks again

Value of key word based URL
I was researching some keywords and I found something that kind of confuses me. If you search google for Denver IT Consulting the second hit is for a site** - **denveritconsulting.com. This is a one page site with just a paragraph of text and links to the actual company's site but it's getting the second place on a pretty good keyword.
I also checked open site explorer and they have no links at all.
I am assuming that their placement is based solely on the exact match of the keywords in the URL?
Does anyone have any feedback on this? I have purchased and used keyword based URLs in the past but I have never done or seen something like this that is so successful.
Any input on this would be great.
Thanks!
