Hello guys. Sorry for not catching up on BHW lately. The product is still active. Currently we are having issues with Answer Assault, mainly with the account creation process, that have yet to be ironed out to the extent where I feel good about releasing an update. We were close to a release...

Take your existing content and have it proofed to improve the spelling and grammar. There is no shame in it. I'm a native born American but because I'm not the best at grammar I have everything proofed before I post. You should be able to get this service for very reasonable prices on elance or...

Look at their website's content, does it match your content almost word for word? Try going to CopyScape.com and entering a few of your URLs. Do any of their pages come back as matches? If so then whoever developed your website may have copied theirs. If that is the case then plan on going back...

It is okay to repeat keywords in the title. My general rule is to don't overdo it, however. I'm not completely following you about the footer links. But it is normal for your rankings to bounce around in Google. I regularly have things go from 15 to out of the top 50, only to have them come back...

Webmasters & web designers only make up a small percentage of Google users but I'd bet they influence a very large percentage, and probably almost all analytic users. If they begin to abandon Google it'll cause trouble for them for sure.

I have noticed a lot of volatility in my rankings over the past week or so. If you check mozcast you'll notice the temperature has been elevated lately so something is up.

301 redirecting is a great start but in my experience it won't send all the link juice to the new page. Some will be lost. You should be able to add a ".html" ending to your URLs in WordPress so if you can recreate your old urls it may help. Beyond that can you check to see if your bounce rate...

Gravity Forms is easy to use and you can easily integrate PayPal. Use that. Using a shopping cart is way to complicated for what you are trying to do.

Moz.com has an SEO Beginner's Guide. It is all white-hat and a good source to begin with. I agree with a poster above that the best way to learn is by doing. Take the information you glean from the beginner's guide and the other sources mentioned here and put them into practice on your own...

Thanks for the thought. Will look into this on Monday when I return from vacation.

I did not purchase torrentator, just Answer Assault and Answer Swipe.

Get links from other high DA sites, preferably from pages with high PA. Find out who is linking to your competitors and see if you can get any of then to link to you. That is a shortcut that can help you catch up but if you are going to rank higher than them you need to get links that they don't...

In my experience (about a year ago) I did a domain redirect from a non-EMD to another non-EMD and the rankings of the new EMD did not match the rankings of the original. So my guess is that not all of the link juice is passed to the new domain. Maybe I'm wrong or things have changed but that is...

Some people claim that footer text no longer provides value. Perhaps the value has been diminished somewhat over the years but I still get a benefit from it in terms of rankings. As an owner of a web development company, whenever we launch a new website for a client with a lot of backlinks we...

In my competitive analysis I've seen blogger links to be very helpful for ranking. I wouldn't grab a ton of links, but a handful should add to your link diversity and be helpful to helping your site rank. I'd stay away from squidoo. It has become very difficult for me to get content to be...

Thanks for the list! We do this for a few clients and the biggest frustration is verifying the listing by the service calling the phone number and us having to enter a PIN. For some clients it makes it almost impossible to do without physically driving to the client's office.

I've never traveled to very impoverished areas of the world. But I have talked to one person whose wife is from a very poor area of Jamaica. He says none of them have AC and half don't have running water and they are some of the happiest people he has every been around. One person from our...

I have a few client sites that have rankings going up through the roof. One actually is/was being penalized by Google for unnatural links. Funny thing is we haven't done the reconsideration request quite yet because we are only about 30% through sending link removal requests. Its like the more...

You will need to edit your WordPress theme file. Most likely header.php. You can find it under Editor in the backend. Knowing HTML will be a big help. If you don't know HTML and you are more time poor than money poor look at sites like odesk and hire it out.

Set up your site with Google's webmaster tools. If there are crawl issues with your site they should be reported there. It will sometimes let you know if you are suffering from an unnatural link penalty. Not sure about penalties related to duplicate content but if you have a lot of dup content...
