    Why do people have their domain name in their page title?

    Have you ever tested this? I asked a couple of people recently, and no one seemed able to definitively say that adding extra words to the end of the title had no effect on the ones at the front. Maybe I just asked the wrong people ;)

    cervical cancer jab

    Indeed. Sadly, the search engine results are stuffed full of anti-jab results at the moment. I'm trying to drum up people to link to information on cervical cancer jabs from the NHS. You can read more about the plan here. But essentially the idea is to get people to link their blog or whatever...

    Now if we can just get the Business Link to update their pages, no one else need be confused ...

    More Business Link confusion

    Business Link website advice makes my head hurt with its madness, as I've said before (with more here). But can someone explain this page to me: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?type=RESOURCES&itemId=1073791759 When they say company in the first section, do they in fact mean...

    PR8 - on new unlanched site!

    Hmm. You know you can make any page appear to have any Toobar PR you want? Just 302 redirect the page to one with a high pagerank when you detect it's google looking. And show the normal page when it's a person looking. Here we are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank#False_or_spoofed_PageRank

    Indexed Pages???

    You need to add it to head area of HTML - none of those fields sound like they do that. So you'll need to ask design/hosting company to do it for you - or else verify by file if you have FTP access (if you don't, again the design/host company can do it for you). Either way it's a 1-minute job -...

    SEO All in one pack

    Google often puts the date at the front of blog posts. It won't be anything to do with your meta description. It's just something it does, as it knows date is important to people when deciding to click or not.

    Comments on my blog

    All comments on wordpress are nofollowed (not just the first) aren't they? Unless you have a dofollow plugin in place.

    Indexed Pages???

    Which pages aren't there? If it's the ones off your 'what's on' page, I suspect it's because of the overcomplication of your URLs, like this one: localtoleominster.co.uk/component/option,com_events/Itemid,23/agid,114/day,02/month,06/task,view_detail/year,2009/ Is there anything you can to do...

    Childcare Vouchers for Ltd Company

    I'm sure the nursery will have a standard contract - so you just need to sign that and return it, perhaps with a covering letter as you suggest.

    Childcare Vouchers for Ltd Company

    Oh well, even simpler then. Yes, as you say - stick your company hat on, and get the company to buy some childcare.

    Childcare Vouchers for Ltd Company

    John - the way to do this is to put on your limited company hat and ring up the childcare provider saying you're XYZ Ltd and would like to purchase £55 a week's childcare. They'll send you something to sign - sign it and arrange to pay the bill via the company's bank account. Then ring up as...

    Childcare Vouchers for Ltd Company

    I think you absolutely can't do that. It can't look like the company is just paying one of your bills. The company has to have a direct business relationship with the childcare provider. Otherwise you could just avoid tax by getting the company to pay your paper bill, gas bill, supermarket bill etc.

    Can this have a negative impact on your site?

    I suggest you read this: http://www.insiders-view.co.uk/gocompare-banned-again/00465 and the links off it, especially this one: http://www.redcardinal.ie/link-building/20-04-2009/link-building-in-ultra-competitive-niches/ You are effectively selling links from a website that makes you money.
