@blaw yup im working throUGH AN ANSWER FOR YOU, BUT WITH KEYWORD RESEARCH IT TAKES A LITTLE LONG(oops caps lol) er for me to come back with something concrete for you.
theres lots of missed oportunities for your site and my lack of knowledge about the locality are a challenge lol.

Thanks for the last answer trooper,
so now i got these both sites in webmastertool, one with www. and the other without.
So im thinking its best to remove all indexed urls from the www. one so google can focus on the one without.
In webmastertools should i go under the www. one / remove urls / and remove the whole www. site from google? Or should i just wait and let google hopefully do it because there is now 301 redirect on the site.
- trooperbill0
both sites? no, you only need one in order to set the www preference
- attentionspan0
no, in webmastertools you have to add, example:
www.domainname.com
domainname.comso the first one has is the one with most indexed pages, i was thinking of remove them all in WMT "remove url"
but im in doubt whether to just let google do it or should i speed up the process and add those indexed sites to be removed
- trooperbill0
it will probably do more damage than good for you to remove the urls, best just to get reindexed and for GWT to sort it out for you.

What is the worst that can happen though, if i remove all www.domainname.com pages, manually?
- trooperbill0
by both sites do you mean www and non www listed as separate sites in GWT?
this is overkill... the worst that can happen is a long wait for reindexing in which time you'll see a loss in traffic? depends on how traffic hungry you are. i average 200 uniques per day on my blog which isnt much (not that i generate revenue) but for a commercial site that could be quite a bit (depending on niche)

Hi Thanks for the free SEO advice.
Is the content in a jQuery overlay like this:

still indexed by Google?
- Point50
this thread is almost as good as the Ask Dinky thread.
OK, it's way better.
- trooperbill0

information on site links in Google.

I have this in my webmaster tools:
URLs: 2.901
indexed URLs: 2.387is it err, good?
- trooperbill0
not bad... the missing url's are probably due to the content being light and/or duplicate when compared to the surrounding contextual text (menus etc)

i think it will be hard to regulate as it changes so frequently it will be hard for regulators to determine best practice.
- Sugary0
yeah i doubt regulation or transparency is the right thing, but it does point out some flaws in the system. But then again this is a capitalist society, and winner takes all.
- if you regulate seo then the next step is internet regulation and censorship BOO!trooperbill

Hey trooper
does my robots.txt look right :
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /flash/
Disallow: /pictures/
Allow: /i want to block all robots from indexing those two folders
- trooperbill0
hmm... had to ask my dev about that... he says just remove the allow as thats set by default.

I am using an image replacement technique for displaying a strapline on my site:
<h3 class="replace" id="strapline">This is the strapline</h3>
The CSS has text-indent to -999em and a background image (text for the strapline). I used an image because CSS text didn't do the job I needed it to.
My question is this: Is google 'marking be down' for using this technique. The strapline is quite important to the site, the reason it is a h3 tag.
Thanks
- trooperbill0
no google wont mark u down for this
interestingly enough recent tests say strong carries more seo weight than h1 etc!
