    Google changing ranked pages

    Hello people, I have recently noticed a change in the way Google ranks my website for one of our main keywords and would like to know if I should be concerned. Apparently overnight we dropped a good few places for one of our main keywords. This also coincided with google changing the page that...

    Flash animation on home page - will this harm my rankings?

    Hi all, A while back I added a flash animation to our site pages (through use of a common template). Worryingly, this seemed to coincide with some fairly dramatic drops in our rankings for some of our major search terms. I later modified the embedding technique to follow SEO friendly ways of...

    W3C validation - How important is this ?

    How important is it to be W3C compliant? I just ran a check on my usb site and it reported 14 errors, most of which come from the cms adding an "/" to the end of a bracket before it is closed. If I remove these, then the cms just seems to add them back anyway. Will these kind of problems it...

    IS this landing Page any good ??

    Hi all, Recently I asked forum members to take a look at a landing page I was deisgning for a PC campaign, and make comments about whether it was any good or not. Based on the comments made, I’ve now made revisions (like taking off the CAPTCHA and required fields). Any comments on the new...

    Possible Google Keyword Ranking Pattern – an Experiment.

    Hi awebapart - thats fair enough, but I would imagine that links from a forum such as this are not really given any weight by Google even if it does pick up on the link. The content of the forum is not relevent to the site, so I would guess that Google wouldn't really pay any attension to it.

    Possible Google Keyword Ranking Pattern – an Experiment.

    Should I use CAPTCHA on PPC landing page?

    I currently use CAPTCHA character security on my custom PPC landing pages (as seen here), and was wondering if there is any research which suggests that this puts people off? I asked for comments on my new landing page in another forum and someone commented that you should never use CAPTCHA on...

    New to PPC - Please comment on my landing page !

    Hi, I’m fairly new to Adwords and PPC in general. I started a campaign a few weeks back and was using existing site pages as my landing pages. After doing a lot of reading on the subject I decided to design a standalone ‘focussed’ landing page (test page seen here), designed to encourage...
