I setup a wordpress site as a static site which has subpages under the root page like as seen below. Do you think the url's aren't as seo friendly?

http://www.example.com/equipment/ http://www.example.com/equipment/supplies/

I wanted to have the page under example.com/equipment to be more like example.com/supplies.

Do you think this is a big deal for the SE's?

Thanks -Eric

This is a great resource you have going here… many thanks for the valuable content. I have two questions I would like to ask…

  1. Are .info domains ok to use for sites you want to get ranked highly in the SERPS?

  2. I recently changed one of my sites internal linking to cater better for my visitors experience on my site, but also for distributing page rank to my "money pages" on the site as they were ranking very poorly. I am going to write on article and point a couple of links to the newly optimized site. I would like to know… how long does it take for google to crawl and re-rank my newly optimized pages on the site?

Thanks Dan!! Sean

I have CSS and learned something about it. I can easily do this now without any tricky redirects! Woo hoo!</p> <p>My question, is it ok if you vary the keywords that point to your homepage, one link per page of course, but not the same on every page? What does this do? Powers in quantity?</p> I looked at mod 4c again. I have CSS and learned something about it. I can easily do this now without any tricky redirects! Woo hoo!

My question, is it ok if you vary the keywords that point to your homepage, one link per page of course, but not the same on every page? What does this do? Powers in quantity?

If you have a high PR site linking to you with several links throughout the content of the page (which these are free links), only the first one will help you rank for that term.
