Our website TeamEcho.com gets pretty substantial traffic for our target market. I don’t want to damage my incoming traffic that I do have, but had to fix issues like Leads Vs Traffic conversion was horrible, broken and non-existent links etc. The question is what should I do with my old pages to not negatively impact search engine placement.

I have a small business and website for it that is ad free. I do sales and repairs on classic arcade and pinball machines. Will it affect my site in a negative way (with search engine placement etc) if I run a text link to an online gaming website? These sites want to pay me for a text link, but I don’t want my site to come across as malicious in any way.

I have been reading about optimizing your pages for search engines. I am after the best program to use to optimize my site. Are there good free ones around and do they all be optimized for google. Are there some programs that optimize your site which google does not like.

Would optimizing a site help in search engine placement?

And I’d like to get rid of one. I know that having duplicate sites is bad for search engine placement. However, I am getting traffic from one site and don’t want to lose that traffic.

What can I do to keep getting the traffic from the site I want to remove / change?

I remember back in the "olden days" of search engine optimization, it was mostly about the keywords in your META tags. Now, that clearly is not enough. I’m curious what I can do to optimizes search engine placement without paying thousands of dollars for someone else to do it for me. What are those people doing to get top placement?

While on some web page, an article popped up from the Los Angeles Times about a woman making 00.00 a month placing ads on the internet. The comments were all scams.

I want to post it again here since yahooanswers gets such high search engine placement. The system is a scam. Here is what is taking place now:

>>>>>>>On April 24, 2009 the Texas Attorney General’s Office announced charges for operating a fraudulent work-at-home scheme against Infusion Media Inc, GoogleTreasureChest.com, InternetIncomeInitiative.com, and Jonathan D. Eborn (”Defendants”), whose “GoogleMoneyTree.com” promised six-figure earnings for conducting specialized Google and Yahoo Internet searches. According to the state’s enforcement action, GoogleMoneyTree failed to clearly inform purchasers that they had been enrolled in monthly memberships and had only seven days to cancel their trial membership. Purchasers who failed to cancel within seven days were automatically charged on their credit card statements each month. In addition to the unexpected credit card charges, customer complaints obtained by state investigators indicate that GoogleMoneyTree failed to actually send the “free kit” and refused to honor customer refunds. The state is seeking an injunction, civil penalties of up to ,000 per violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, as well as restitution for purchasers.

The company I work for just changed websites and we have taken a bit of a hit in search engine placement because of it. Until we get the kinks worked out as far as SEO, I was thinking of using a Pay Per Click ad service such as Google AdWords. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, I noticed that Google AdWords places your companies linkback on the side of the google search (the right margin). How do you get it to be placed at the top of the search? Thanks.

I need to market discounted large format original paintings and don’t want to fight it out with Art.com and others for search engine placement. I’m looking at puting up a website and advertising it on other sites like Craigslist.com. If you know of any other sites like craigslist or have any other ideas on how to market this product I would appreciate any advice you care to share.

Is the domain name vitally important for placing for keywords?

The site I need a domain name for is an affiliate site, so high search engine placement is more important to me than branding. Is it vital that I structure the domain name around my keywords? Is the domain name of minor consequence compared to other factors like title and content? Or does it not matter at all?

Any help is appreciated.
