    Responsive sites or separate mobile website?

    I'm going seperate for now, and I'll have to be be careful managing the content for dupes etc. When I do a re-build, I'll do responsive, and will build for mobile first, and add stuff in for bigger screens. . I think this is at least 18 months away But I think trying to engineer the current...

    Advice for newbie

    Also, I've just had a look in WMtools and it shows our search impressions are down 50% since Pengiun 4. Is removal of the buffers a decent tactic here, to help recover As well as this, I'll be doing a bunch of white hat stuff.

    Advice for newbie

    The EMD's only have links to the primary (money) site I'm not to sure how many links are pointing to the 2.0 sites. In fact from what i've seen the links are coming from 2.0's to the EMD's In this case the 2.0s are blogspots and forum profiles etc hope that makese sense cheers

    Advice for newbie
