    Google indexed my text site, what can I do now?

    Whilst my new site layout was in test recently, my developer didnt set up any blocking mechanism and google indexed the test, as well as the live site. I was told this could now carry a penalty and want to know what I can do about it? My site is now switched over and we have set up permanent...

    SEO on my existing site

    Thanks Revax, and apologies to forum users that can see I have posted too much. Also, I feel it was wrong of me to do the "promise of work" type hints. Please ignore those. If you have just 1 point you would like to make a quick contribution on, I would be most grateful, but I understand if I...

    SEO on my existing site

    OldWelshGuy, I know I am asking a lot.. it was putting it out there and being honest! I know people will be put off, but there is also a chance to get work once I have established trust. If I dont get replies, I understand, but if I do, bonus. Cheers

    SEO on my existing site

    Hi fellow forum folk! I am currently doing a redesign on our existing domain <url removed>- hoping to have this live in the next couple of weeks. I am very cautious of using a company for my SEO after a bad experience that nearly cost me a lot of money, so I am not really looking for companies...

    My Shopping Genie - Any Dealings?

    Can anyone confirm that MSG is legal in the UK? I am a newcomer and whilst I appreciate it will be something I have to work hard at, I can see some unique aspects that have attracted me to this. Are you able to sell the license from within your own business? Does the license have to be...

    Aged Domain Names

    I was wondering if anyone had the best tool to be able to search for and price up an aged domain. I have had a good conversation with someone who has suggested that this could be a good starting point if I look to rebuild my site. Some sites I have found dont seem overly helpful in terms of...

    SEO - Fingers Burnt Once...

    Good point - yes, I will need the "SEO partner" to be able to impliment the work. I will give an example of something I would like to consider and that is "promotional mugs"...hope that helps.

    SEO - Fingers Burnt Once...

    OK, I believe a good debate it going (which was my intention)...the mention of PM was just to keep from getting into a slating match and concentrating on company's positives throughout this thread (as I have had enough of negatives). OK, what happened to me then...in order to kick this on a...

    BT WebClicks

    I have just had the rep in about Web Clicks....I have told him that I didnt like the sound of it and from reading the above, I have been right to be cautious...it is flowered up to be something that people could manage themselves - but they make it out like it is qualified lead generation -...

    Email Forms

    Has anyone used any of the free form builder software for adding a form to a website. If so, can someone recommend me one. I need to add a form to my website www.steel-city.co.uk and dont really have any budget to pay a webdesigner.... Is it a good idea to use one of these sites? James
