Is this an e commerce site?

What are you trying to get visitors to do? Come to the site, the specific page, make an online purchase, submit for an online or hard copy catalog.  Its hard to give you the correct answer with out knowing more about  how  you are using your website.

Do you actually need to have each and every page perfectly optimized for search.... what about long tailed search?

Hi HFranz,

I have found its good to have each item set up individually.  That way you do not have multiple pages fighting over the same search results.

Both of these comments are on target, that said, I would remove any links you can.... within reason.  And, I am generally a big fan of updating content.  Regardless of the successes of the page.  I think fresh is good, it keeps people coming back......... cheers!

I agree, I have found the BBB to be a nice one to be tied to, a wonderful resource.  I had no idea pricing was so high these days!

Hi,

This is a great question and many people find themselves right where you are.  Both Ryan and Egol have provided you some great responses and I agree with them both.  There is a lot that goes into whether and when your site will move up or down.  Personally, I feel the closer you get to page 1 the more fine tuning and possibly effort it will take to make the leap to the top of page one.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well for a very young site.  Good job and good luck!

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your comment.  I will take a look at what Google has to offer here.

Do you think there are any negatives to using this on a website?

Hey Mike,

Yep, looking to enable folks to read content in a variety of languages.

Also, wondering if there is any negatives related to adding language translation to a website?

Thank You!

Hi All,

I know its not an SEO question, but.......................

Can anyone suggest a few good website translation "widgets"

I  would like to give those who are not fluent in English and option to choose another language in which to view the page text.

Thank You!!!

Personally, I would try and focus on page titles, descriptions and user friendly content.  I have found search engines these days seem to frown upon "keyword stuffing".  Just my thoughts........ keep it simple, clear and clean, focus based for the viewer.  Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

I second the comment from Ross.  I had a similar issue in the recent past.  I found it best and easiest to try and forget about the bad back links and move forward with building  quality ones....... just my two cents.
