    Replacing an existing site with a Wordpress Site

    More help please OK. Suggys, thanks for the advice I got it to work with the duplicator and transferred the site (after a bit of figuring out) as I'm no expert. I have another problem now.....links to my old site: oldsite.co.uk/page.php are returning a 404 error. I set the new site up using...

    What would you do? Site hit by update

    Thanks for the replies matty and dashu. I wasn't sure about a reconsideration request as I'd never had any Google notifications about manual penalties or dodgy links. I did it anyway and like dashu1 got the "no manual spam actions found" message. I'll sit tight and wait I guess but there are...

    What would you do? Site hit by update

    Similar Issue Much the same thing has happened to one of my sites. I've gone down the disavow links route, after much deliberation. Does anyone have any experience with the Disavow Links tool and how long it takes? Google has taken about 4 to 5 weeks to remove about 300 links but the request...

    Link Building

    Im looking to build good quality relevant links not just any old crap. Fallen foul of that and things have changed dramatically now I know. There should be good natural linking but some link building too to help things along. No harm in approaching other sites I guess as long as the sites...

    Valueing an Existing Online Business

    Anyone know a rule of thumb to value an online revenue generating business? Earnings over the past few years have been good but have dropped significantly lately? Is there any value for the site based on the previous revenue generating power? I would doubt it but keen to know if anyone can give...

    Link Building

    This may seem like a dumb question but I'm not sure how I should be building links anymore. Post Penguin and Panda are we back to the days of emailing similar relevant sites asking for links where you're lucky to get one reply out of a thousand...or with everyone in the same boat now...are...

    heya, daniel here

    Avoid brand names. Ever thought of affiliate sites through developing some of your domain names. This can be lucrative for well built and optimised sites.

    .gov & .edu links

    Hi, .gov and .edu links are considered high authority domains because they are predominantly regulated. (Not always though). Links from high authority domains will always pass on more authority to your site, the same as a normal link, but with a little more power to boost your rankings...

    .UK Announced

    Larger companies with the legal clout will probably be given more attention by Nominet than the mum and dad businesess who don't have the funds to sue. Sounds like this could go very wrong very quickly. People need the opportunity to protect their livelihoods and should be given first option...

    Linkedin

    Linked In The funny thing about linked in is it's a little like building a web site. The quality of the links is all important not the quantity of links. If you build a network of relevant contacts your profile will be taken more seriously and it can lead to opportunities and/or job offers...
