The responsive display works great. I like the general appearance, very clean and crisp. Navigation seems intuitive, too.
I think I might put a Secure icon to the immediate left of the shopping...

The home page only would be my call, and then I believe it should be nofollowed. However, I also think that it should only be placed when it's cleared with the client beforehand. Too often I find...

Wow! I owe a bunch of you an apology, for not coming back and both letting you know what happened, and to thank everyone for their responses.

I suck! :cry:

As Steve said, it was a detection...

I recently had a new custom system built (basic specs below) which ran like greased lightning when I first received it last night. I started setting it up last night with my email client, FireFox...

Actually, the correct method would be

<a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">anchortext</a>

although you might also want to be cautious about the anchor text, if it's something that is...

I don't think anyone here is intending any sort of accusatory tone, P.J. - simply pointing out how Google supposedly views things.

What that blogger has given you is a sitewide link. Every single...

@murphypj- I'd say that Steve's snapshot analysis is spot on with every point. Don't take a site analysis personally. Believe me, I've had sites of my own ripped asunder here, and it was usually...

I agree, except with the part about that being "new". ;)

Good thing I still stick my pointy little head in here now and then....

Now where did I leave that thong?

As a couple people already commented, yes, it can work, to bring targeted traffic to your site, depending somewhat upon your niche, your location, and your method of using social media. A...

Assuming that you're using Google, you can also turn off personalization for a given search query by appending &pws=0 after the search term, such as [fire mountain &pws=0]

HEY! What's this about a Wesson Party, and I didn't get my invite! Postal service has gone to Hell in a handbasket!

Now, THAT was just plain mean, kgun! :lol:

Hi, kgun-

I understand your general frustration with Google and your not wanting to be victimized by their unwillingness to handle the problem themselves. But do you really feel that you don't...

I see we're still a tad short of our million post mark. I think a couple of you kids need to work an hour or two of overtime to get us over the hump.;)

Getting back to the OP's question, "Is it safe to continue link building embedding keywords in the link text?"

Penguin appears to have tightened the acceptable practices on linking quite a bit....

I have to agree with Tony and Clay. While the juice leak is minimal, it's still a consideration. And putting a quantity of links out there, dependent upon the continued existence of an independent...

Not sure what your area of expertise is, SuperMan, but I think a great place to start would be a forensic audit. Find out how many pages you have in the index... the 5,000 pages you mention... if...

Just a quick comment here... in the replacement you're now serving to this idiot, you make this statement: "Copyright © 2007 - 2012 Country IP BLocks. All Rights Reserved. Data may be reproduced...

I believe that this is one of those instances in which Google will do what it's good at, Ron, and find the site for searches in either spelling, much as it does in favor/favour or flavor/flavour....

Mark, as far as "immediate", I'd say there's little you can do about the inbound links. Certainly, you can send out requests to some of those sites (I'd focus on those that are least relevant to your...

I voted yes, given the points made by weegillis. Steve is right, I've moderated on several boards that offered a forum section for software and tools, and both are spam-magnets. Disabling signatures...

7961 Good, man! How about you? Seems to me I jumped into this just shy of 2,000 or so, and stuck with it for around 1,000. Ya'll have been busy!

7959 Dang! I figured ya'll would be to at least 100k by now!

I have to agree with Steve... you'd be fired before I even finished reading your response. You obviously have a low opinion of social media as a method of driving qualified traffic. How you arrived...
