If you change your h1's a bit and change the structure of the article a little. Do you think Google will find the duplicates?

Hi I've been looking for this one like crazy but I just can't find it. Hope anyone can help me out. On my [URL="http://www.ivalue.be"]website[/URL] I have a sliding banner that uses a background image 'repeat'. It shows up perfectly in Firefox, Chrome, Safari but not in IE. I've tried many …

It's very difficult for any SEO to really stay up-to-date. There are so many different blogs out there. A lot of them post opinions that aren't always verified. So watch out what information you take in. I limit my information feed to a few authority websites: - [URL="http://www.seomoz.org/blog"]seomoz[/URL] - [URL="http://www.seobook.com/blog"]seobook[/URL] …

Try Web CEO. It's a payable software but the free edition does quite some tricks as well. Good luck.

Hi Janessa Try some link building. Not too much. Max 20/day. Google will pick you up very soon. Btw: Have you added the site to DMOZ? You can try Bing Webmastertools. Or maybe 'suggest a site' in Google. All the best.

Google doesn't accurately display your back links. They just don't because you might get too hung up on it. However, you can get an detailed look on your [B]back links in Yahoo[/B]! It's the most accurate of them all. Simply go to Yahoo and fill in [linkdomain:[url]www.mysite.com][/url] and check 'except …

My personal favourite is [URL="http://www.seomoz.org"]seomoz.org[/URL]. They have a huge blog and offer valuable thorough resources on SEO. It's my place to be on the topic. You'll learn a lot there.

Let me put it this way: [B]Speed [/B]isn't everything. It's the only thing. Your site should instantly respond to a request. If you have to wait 4 seconds until something happens, you are in big trouble. [B]Page size[/B] = the smaller, the better. Keep it under 15k if you can. …

I agree on starting out with simple Notepad++. Once you master the code, current standards etc... you can switch to software-aided coding. Grtz J

Do you also check the number of inbound links? Do you monitor the keyword ranking of the site? Your analytics are important off course, but it takes a little more time to see it change their. Monitor it at the root and you'll see the impact a lot sooner.

Good example, referring to the house. Will use that when explaining SEO to outsiders (which can be a challenge).

Google is an ever evolving mystery. So no, in my opinion Google doesn't go together with stable. Keep on building a steady number of smart links and you'll stay there. Waiting is no option.

Hi fellow designers and affiliates. I'm really struggling to [B]make my customer understand a few basic things about web design[/B].

Or you could use a free form creator like [URL="http://www.emailmeform.com"]emailmeform.com[/URL]. They have a pretty good free form host that lets you edit the form to your likings and secures it with a captcha.

Just try to build a user logical structure like [url]www.example.com/category/subcategory/productpage.html[/url]. Not only do users like it, search engines do as well.

Hi. I'm changing a site's URL to a new domain. The site is hosted at freewebs.com which makes it impossible to create redirects (unless anybody proofs different). What is the most efficient way to make sure I don't get penalized by Google for duplicate content? As the new domain is …

Hey Tiger 86: What's 'suckerfish'? I checked Spry items in Dreamweaver but couldn't find anything. Plz advice. J

Hi Make sure you write 'rich descriptions' in your alt labels' as Google values Alt attributes in SEO (more and more). Grtz J

I would avoid separating your website into different areas (or frames). Search Engines hate these methods. Your website won't get indexed by Google and Co. If you follow the web design rules (e.g. max 10kb per page) your pages should flash when clicking a link. See [URL="http://www.mcs-ifes.com"]www.mcs-ifes.com[/URL] for an example. …

David You covered it all, no need to suggest anything I would say. Rather an article than a forum topic. Grtz J

Hi furiber I don't have IE6 installed. So this will be a [I]shot in the dark[/I]. Could be since you're using .png as background image (and IE6 doesn't know how to handle them)? Try replacing the png by a gif. Greetz J

Hi dbguide Pff. No easy assignment there. I [I]think [/I]I solved it. It had to do with the 'overflow: hidden' attribute. Delete it. The height of your page in FF will not be ok. Fix it by setting a 'height: 520px' and 'max-height: 520px' attribute. Play with the numbers 'till …

Hi I'm developing some corporate websites (like [URL="http://www.mcs.be"]www.mcs.be[/URL]). Like most web developers I'm interested in statistics and ranking. I came across Alexa Ranking and started following it some time ago. My site grew from #11,000,000 to about #1,000,000 today. However, I read that the Alexa statistics aren't that reliable? What's …
