Update on Blog situation:
Thanks
-
Yes thats what i believe.
I find ASP.MVC is the best for SEO, both clean code and seo friendly urls.
but if its not possible, what i advise is to create your landing pages with clean code and use the CMS where you need it.

Great thanks,
With Wordpress it seems to come up over and over again anytime you research Wordpress - people seme to run into problems with it.

The biigest concern is the un-necessary redirects and broken links, in such high numbers you are thouing away a lot of rank, each 301 loses you link juice.
By un-necessary I mean that the link is internal, it can be pointed directly at the correct page, there is no need to 301.
Matt cutts has confinmed that 301's leak,
They have to otherwise you would get internal loops.
going by the Goolge Algorithm realsed years ago, it seem that they leak 15%
And of case the broken links would leak 100%
fixing them has got to give you a boost.
There is also invalid markup, and many other violations in lower numbers.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the analysis.
Did you see anything in the index or main structure that caused any issues do you think?
Regards

Hey thanks for the tip

Hi tdsnet,
You clearly have made a tremendous amount of changes with your site. Any time you "kick up this much dirt", your rankings may bounce a bit over the next 30 days. Google does not crawl your site all at once, but in pieces. As each page is crawled, the ranking of other pages on your site is affected since you likely link to your home page and other important pages.
A few things to consider:
-
you wont truly know your rankings for a month
-
dropping a single rank (from 2 to 3 as you shared) may not be related to your site at all. A competitor could have acquired new links or otherwise made improvements to their page.
-
overall the changes you listed are positive but there are a few which concern me. It sounds like you may have misinterpreted some SEO guidelines. For example, you do not have to 301 all 404 links to your site. You should ensure your site's links do not generate a 404. You should also redirect any old links to the most relevant page on your site. If you delete a page and no longer offer similar content on your site, it is perfectly fine to let the page 404. Be sure your 404 page offers your site's navigation and a Search function so it is helpful.
-
you also mentioned changes like "created one or two external links on pages". This sounds kind of forced. Like you did it to improve your SEO ranking, in which case it would not be recommended. You want to naturally link out as appropriate. Sometimes that means no external links and other times you could offer 10.
If you can share your URL it would be helpful, as we are otherwise left to offering generic advice. Please also share the keywords which you are concerned about. If it helps to know, the content in Q&A answers is not visible to search engines for 2 weeks, and you can edit your own posts. You can add the URL, then when you receive satisfactory feedback you can remove it.

sure can

Sure, can I PM you a link if that's ok? Thanks

A few thinks,
Keyword density is a myth, there is no such thing. As long as you are not keyword stuffing and looking un-natrual i would not of changed the pages.
Too many links should not be a problem if they are internal links. There is no penalty for too many links. In fact linking to as many internal pages as you can from the home page is a good thing, as long as they all link back.
301’ng old pages causing 404 errors, i would only do this if the page had external links. And then you can not be lazy, you need to link them to a relevant page, simply linking them all to the home page will not work, Bing for one has said they will be ignored.
if they are internal links, then i would remove them. A link that 404's is a 100% waste of link juice, A 301 also leaks some link juice.
Is it posible to get a url. i will tell you if you have any problems

For keyword relevance, how important is proximity to beginning of the line and/or page?
A client and I are debating between two taglines, which both contain an important keyword phrase. This tagline will exist as the H1 on the homepage, as well as in the header with the logo on internal and landing pages. The tagline structure is either: [keyword phrase] Solutions or Single Source [keyword phrase] Can anyone weigh in on which is better? Thanks much!!

424 Crawl Notices Found - Most of these notices are 301 redirects for our blog. Are notices something that would keep me from ranking well for my keywords?
212 are rel canonical and 176 are 301 permanent re-direct. An example of the re-direct is a change I made to the /trackback 302 status on my blog like; http://www.bluesunproperties.com/2012-spring-biker-rally-thunder-beach/trackback/ Are these Crawl Notices something that I should spend resources on, or should I focus more on my errors and warnings?

How important is quality control for UGC?
In this post, http://www.seomoz.org/blog/ugc-gets-an-a-on-google-test-with-panda-update-12260, it mentions that UGC content performed well after the Panda.
