Do you feel my website looks outdated?
-
My real estate website is www.RiverValleyGroup.com
I'm considering undergoing a new design...bounce rate is somewhat high and I can't decide if the current design looks outdated or not. Thoughts?

Haha I couldn't agree more Travis- as the one responsible for updating the site I have no access to changing where the number is, the lack of social media buttons, or the broken video links / bad videos. These are all reasons as to why we need to change the layout of the website completely.
Question: Literally the only part of the website I can edit is everything below 'Search Louisville homes on our website'...if I delete all the text won't it hurt my SEO for keyword rankings?

You have a nice phone number, about 35 scrolls down. I would think about that first.
And no matter how hard I try, I can't meet Heidi on HGTV. Story of my life.
Plus the other video kind of looks like she's a hostage.

As simon says, the top is mostly fine, but the bottom is messy. There is too much text - I'd remove all the text below " search louisville homes right here on our website" and probably move it to another page. Maybe keep one testimonial (or use a slider to show several). Shorten the page, less is more.

Hi - Hope this helps: The Home Page.
The top of the page looks fine, but would benefit from clearer and better positioned call to action buttons (example site: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/). You need clearer navigation to quickly funnel visitors where they expect, and want to be. This is likely one of the biggest reasons for your bounce rate.
The bottom half of the page looks amateurish and cluttered. To begin with, it simply requires better formatting so text and images line up more naturally. This will look much nicer, but more needs to be done. You need to be thinking - less is more for the home page, but its not necessarily that simple.
I think professional tweaking will help, but a complete re-design should be something you begin planning for immediately.

2. Overloaded or misconfigured server They asked me to talk to my hosting company about this issue and he's at a loss (I don't think he knows everything he needs to know potentially). Have you seen these issues before? Where is the best spot to start troubleshooting this issue?0 -

Competitor Rockets to #1 and I'm looking at keyword stuffing. Will Google catch up with it?
We have a competitor whose home page rocketed up to number one, page one, on our key search term after they did a website redesign. They even beat out the original retailer for that position, as they are resellers of the product (not affiliate sales, resale in the secondary market.) They are the first to knock the original seller out of the #1 position. In the past couple of years that I have been doing in-house SEO, they have never ranked on page one for the term. I ran their site through the SEOmoz page grader for the specific search term, loading their page that is ranking, and found that they grade a “B,” but have some alerts for keyword stuffing, (the search term is on the home page 30+ times,) and they have eleven tags on said page. Aside from the two things listed above, they have pretty good site architecture on this new site, and are pretty well branded, etc. Should I expect Google to catch the keyword stuffing and eleven tags, and possibly adjust their rank? Will their keyword stuffing come back to bite them?

Best Ways to Handle a Website for Different Country Locations?
Currently our website is being redesigned into a CMS for our Headquarters in the US. We have three other locations. Germany, UK and Australia. Each Location has there own domain and hosting in there designated country. How safe will it be to upload our New Headquarters site to each of our different locations? I would like to stay uniform throughout. The content would be similar, but translated to the correct language. And some of the products would be different. Will this be a pretty easy process and will this cause any duplication issues? Are there any suggestions or MUST DO's for localization websites? The website is being designed with Wordpress and Magento as a custom CMS.

How does the "first link" rule work with the "reasonable surfer patent" when it comes to the main navigation for a website?
In trying to figure out navigation for a new website, I am struggling with the first link rule vs. the reasonable surfer patent where the first link rule implies that Google "counts" the first link to a page including navigation, and the reasonable surfer patent that implies that navigation links carry less weight than body copy links. What is the best solution for creating main navigation so that it doesn't take away from the body copy links?
