    PLEASE help! I am so frustrated I could cry!

    You may need to write a separate style sheet for each browser. Here is a link that talks about cross browser compatibility, IE hacks and implementing multiple style sheets. Hope it helps.

    Slipped down the Google ladder

    I read a post a while back at SEO pitfall that ranked some of the onsite SEO factors in order of importance by search engine. You might find it helpful.

    SEO question answer game.

    PR isn't the only criteria. What about links from sites in your industry type, what about the anchor text, what about the domain age of the site linking to you? Some of these factors may affect the site's PR but basing the value of a link solely on the PR value is naive.

    Local Business Seo

    As more people have learned about local SEO - many industries have tried to game the system to achieve first page rankings. In response Google has removed local search results from some industries like web design, although they claim it doesn't show up because there are not enough vendors to...

    Does outbound link effects our SEO?

    You can use "no-follow" links to mitigate some of the risk of linking to other sites if you have concerns but I agree with everyone above - linking to nefarious sites can have a negative effect.

    Google Local Business Center Listing

    I'm working on local SEO for a client. I optimized their three local listings (they have three locations) and verified the listings. The listings were ranked number one for nearly two months for several key terms and then one day they vanished. I looked in my admin area and didn't see...

    Articles and Press Release

    How big of an increase in traffic did you see and how long did it last? Also, how many backlinks did you receive? Just curious to find out the results that others are seeing.

    Will redesigning drop your ranking?

    it's my understanding that you should also set-up 301 redirects for any pages that are not going to be carried over from your old site to help preserve your ranking.

    Why is it difficult to convince a client that content is the key?

    i would inform him of the possibility of penalties that may be imposed on his site by the search engines for duplicate content. maybe, that will spur him to make additional content. of course, it may slow down the amount of work you have to do but i'm sure you'd rather be known for helping...

    Will redesigning drop your ranking?

    I know when I redesigned my site (I changed design and content) that it dropped completely out of the top 100 for almost a month before rising to higher SERP rankings than prior to the redesign. I'm not sure if that is indicative of all redesigns or just my situation but thought I would share...

    I'm glad to hear you had so much success!

    Articles and Press Release

    Is or will the press release/article also appear in print format? If so, I would think you would want to mention the link solely for readers who aren't viewing in electronic format. From an SEO perspective I don't think it matters but from a marketing perspective I would add it in. Just my...

    301 Redirect concerns

    My understanding is that your PR is an average of sorts from all the pages that link to you. So if you receive a link from another site 301 or otherwise I would think that it would impact your site as such. If you have many other in-bound links the effect should be negligible. Just my opinion.

    How important is choosing the right domain name?

    If your concerned about SEO, choose a domain with your targeted keywords in it. Also, separate them with a "-", i.e. www.keyword-location.com. The dash helps the search engines recognize multiple words. If you are still concerned about branding, also purchase a domain name that matches your...

    Should I hire an SEO or optimize my website myself?

    read seobook.com, seomoz.com or better yet download big oak's 52 seo tips. you can do most of it yourself. plus, if your site is really new (less than a year old) it's gonna be tough to rank for anything other than long tail keywords anyway. i would put in the sweat equity rather than digging...

    Mots convinient way of building back links?

    Using press releases can also be a good way to generate back links as well as a temporary boost in traffic. PRnewswire.com and PRweb.com both have good paid packages. If you do a little searching you can surely find some free sites as well.

    On-Page Optimisation -- a usefull guide

    Don't forget setting your .htaccess file with a 301 redirect so that the search engines see www.domain.com and domain.com as the same site. That way you get full credit for all inbound links rather than having them split. hope this helps.

    I would slow the animation down a bit. Seems to be racing through. Just my opinion.

    My new freelance website

    I think it looks nice but think it's distracting that all three modules (logos, marketing, websites) change at the same time. I would suggest changing the timing so the first one changes then a few seconds and the second one changes, a few seconds and then the third one. Just my opinion...
