He wants to try to get the best of both worlds. He is experimenting with different words and links. See if you can help him out! Click here!
As for the remaining posts, the first ask how to get pages in Google. The second wants to know how to get Google to drop an old domain. The third needs help with redirects.

 Thoughts On "Click Here" Links?
I'm busily reworking my website to improve content for users and to try to make it more search engine friendly.
In the past I have been told to avoid "click here" links, because irrelevant text such as "click here" or "read more..." are not very helpful to a search engine.
BUT the fact is that even though search engine don't like such links, many people respond very positively to "click here" style links. After all you want your page to have a "call to action", right? And some people simply don't recognise links unless they have the ubiquitous "click here".
Lately I have been trying to get the best of both worlds. Say I want to link to a page about "widgets", then I might have a paragraph which introduces "widgets" and has a link to "widgets.html" on the word "widgets". Then at the bottom of the paragraph I will have a link that says "read more..." and also links to "widgets.html".

What Happened To My Site?
One of my site was in php and it is live since three years. i haven't updated its content since then and did not do any seo work on it. I recently converted it in asp and made it an e-commerce website. But the problem is only index page is crawled and rest of the pages are not getting crawled.
I tried to find out to which keyword or phrases index page is listing, did not get any result. (I took any unique keyword and phrases from the page content and searched with double quotes in google but did not get any results, although index page is crawled and shows result with only name of domain.)
What might have happened with site? And what i can do get all the pages listed in google?

How Can I Get Google To Drop Old Domain For New
I used to manage navco.org and in Dec 08 we bought navco.us and I am not sure how my host has it set up but I want Google to reindex the site with links like navco.us, and drop off all reference to navco.org.
Now we will be keeping navco.org pointing to navco.us so people with old data still find us. I already changed my google ads to point to the new domain. One complication is we also owned navco-jvi.com and used that for our email addresses, and it was always our "main" account name with our actual web sites being top level subdomains I think...but I do not know enough about that to tell. I asked my host to be sure navco.us is the hosted site, and that navco.org is just 'parked' to it and they say they did.
But I thought if that was true then if you type navco.org in the URL bar, your URL would magically change to navco.us when you arrive at the site but that does not happen. Thanks for your advice. I am confused.

Redirect Issue?
I've been I've been seeing the buzz about cloud computing all over the net. Hello all,
I'm trying to hide my affiliate id so I implemented this and I'm having a problem with a few of my links working in ie and firefox.
Heres an example:
I created a php file with this code inside.
