Responsive Site - Is restivejs a solution?
-
Hi
Due to us having a very large site and not enough time to implement changes for the google update on the 21st April I wanted to know if anyone has any understanding of http://restivejs.com/
Is this a way of being ready for the update? And if so what are the limitations/disadvantages?
thanks

I agree with Highland that this type of solution probably won't be your best choice.
How much of your traffic is actually mobile? Rand Fishkin shared this post on Google+, saying that Moz wasn't worried about making the deadline since they have very little mobile traffic.
Also, in this discussion here in Moz, Peter Meyers posted that this update is page-based, so if you have a smaller number of pages that are very mobile-crucial, perhaps you could fix those first, and then work on the larger fix for your website.

I'm leery of anything that bills itself as a "one size fits all" approach for responsive. Real responsive takes work because you have to design for the 3-ish viewports out there (mobile, tablet and desktop). To say "Just add this and you're responsive!" means you either have a VERY simple site, or you don't care how bad it looks on mobile.
I guarantee if you try to do it the easy way that some future Google update will ding you. Google is now HIGHLY focused on mobile and how well you do it. Take the time to do it right and you won't regret it.

Domain structure for US Local Sites
We are planning on opening localized versions of our website throughout the world and in the US. For countries these websites will be: www.site.co.uk www.site.fr etc.... For the US would it be better to add the states onto part of the domain name or use a sub-folder. What is the advantage/disadvantages of each? Meaning, should it be: nj.site.com or site-nj.com

Redirecting a old aged site to a new exact match site?
Hi All, I have a question. I have 2 sites with me in the same sector and want some help. site 1 is a old site started back in 2003 and has some amount of links to it and has a pr 3 with some good links to it but doesn't rank much for any keywords for the timing. site 2 is a aged domain but newly developed with unique content and has a good amount of exact match with a .com version. so will there be any benefit by redirecting site 1 to site 2 to get the seo benefits and a start for link bulding? or is it best to develop and work on each site? the sector is health insurance. Thanks

How to turn WP site into Ecom site?
I have a couple of old wordpress sites that are old affiliate blogs. I currently sell products that are on amazon on these sites and sell quite a bit of volume. I have found a source and can afford the inventory to replace Amazon with my own product. So the dilema is how to turn these wordpress sites into ecommerce sites. The thing I am worried most about is that each site gets about 100-200 visitors a day for great buying keywords. I obviously don't want to lose my rankings. What are the options of turning a wordpress site into a store. I am not interested in plugins or some of the other solutions that make the store look very cheap and I would assume horribly convert. If you have inner pages ranking for keywords how does that work? Do the post pages become product pages? So to sum up I guess I am asking, what are the options that are of the higher quality that will also help me keep my rankings? Thanks
