WebProWorld Members,
I'm sure you have already notice I am not Tiffany, sorry to all the Tiffany fans! If you haven't checked out our newest video, you have missed out. We are getting flooded with comments, and is quickly becoming a cult classic. So if you still haven't seen Mike McDonald tied and beaten up, check it out at WebProNews Videos.
Our featured post today comes from ArthurNYC. He discusses duplicate content not being indexed. Anytime he slightly changes the URL, he never gets natural listings. He wants to know how to make a new site and leave the old site live and still get his old natural listings.
As for the remaining posts, the first needs help using PHP to upload images and collecting data from a form. The next post talks about Google changing how they award site links. Our final post today asks how should he respond to an "I want to buy your domain" email?

 Duplicate Content NOT To Be Indexed
I own a large network of review sites and for the past 3 years we have done a dance with Google where all of a sudden they bump everything up to a $10 Min Bid and we are done. Over three years it has happened 3 times and every time we slightly change the URL (s, -, ...) and go back to work. The issue we have is that we never get natural listings.
Three months ago the site was redesigned by a top level SEO guy for us and we are getting natural listings all over the place. (If anyone needs a recommendation, PM me as he did a great job). But now we got whacked by Google again with a $10 min bid (please do not try to analyze the reason for this, even our reps only say it has something to do with the landing page, we have been on every forum, spoken with every rep at any partner company and we get no real clear answer).
So now the question is, how do I leave the OLD site live (the one that is getting natural listings) and do PPC on a new URL. There are hundreds, if not thousands of pages of Unique content but it is now duplicated and that will eventually catch up to us and hurt natural rankings.
How do I completely stop Google (and others) from seeing the PPC site and listing it in their search engines? If it never gets spidered, never gets listed, then I assume/hope the natural listing site will not be penalized for duplicate content.

We opened this Area Rug site last fall and got no sales. After looking into it we found we had several hiccups and closed it down to fix it all. we opened again mid January and are getting about 30 -50 visitors a day. Still no sales at all. We have checked everything we know to check for errors.

Need Help Using PHP To Upload Images and Collecting Data From A Form
I am building a new website that allows members to upload images. I am using a program called Gallery to build the site (I have got it working and set the site up). I have located a php script that allows users to upload an image. The form they need to complete will be very simple, but I want it to include their username without the need for manual input. The images will be uploaded directly to the server so I need to match up an image with the user who submitted it as there will be other information in the form that needs to be added alongside the image.
My question is: How do I do it?
I have been looking at cookies or sessions, but I could really do with some advice on the whole process.
I am also a little wary about security. The upload folder is password protected but I really think I should be doing more than just that. How can I protect myself against viruses etc?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, it is very much a work in progress at the moment...

Google Site Links Expanded
Looks like google has changed how they award sitelinks. My site got them this weekend and I checked about 6 other sites which I have worked on in the past and 4 of them now have sitelinks (for a search on the name of the website). Again, the sitelinks have just been added this weekend.
Definitely can't be a coincidence so they must be becoming more wide spread. Anyone else notice they now have them?

How Should I Respond To An "I Want To Buy Your Domain" Email
I recieved this email the other day:
Hello,
Just let me know your price for (my domain).com. I regularly check domain auctions and your name has good potential. We are working on software market. So Internet names is just a part of our investment strategy. Looking forward to do business with you.
I responded with, "please visit my listing sedo.com and make an offer there, if I like it I'll simply accept". They're agreeable to working through sedo (which is a good sign) but they wanted me to get an appraisal which I thought was weird.
Any suggestions one what I should do next? I was thinking I'd just respond with "appraisals are subjective at best, a domain is worth what someone is willing to pay. If someone has a need for a certain name its worth something."
