Hi guys,
I have a client who wants to use a hyphen to separate two words in the URL to make each work stand out.
Is is good or bad practice to use a hyphen in a URL and will it affect rankings?
Thanks!

Hi Guys!
I have approx. 50 keywords that I'm tracking for a website that has about 80 pages.
I am wondering is there any way that I can find out which page on the site is currently ranking best for each of the keywords on my list?
Ideally I would like to export the entire list with the keyword in the first column and the page that ranks best on the website for each given keyword, in the second column.
Apologies if the wording of this post is confusing - I am not quite sure how to make it clearer.
The aim of my task is to determine which keywords should be allocated to each page on the site so I need to work out which keywords are working already for certain pages so that I don't take those efforts away from the well-optimised pages.
Many thanks!

Hi Guys,
I am trying to figure out why my page titles and meta d tags are getting cut off in Goofle SERPS.
My page titles are 70 characters or under (including spaces) and my meta Dd's are 155 characters or under (including spaces) so I cannot work out why They are getting cut off.
Is there something I have missed?!
Thanks,
Meaghan
Hi Phillip,
Sorry - I meant to write: Would all of the blogs need to be removed from the website on which they are appearing?
So is the best course of action to have the articles taken off the platforms on which they appear before going ahead and putting them up on the new site?
Also could you explain how the new site might get hit by panda i.e. would google pick up on the fact that these blogs are already appearing elsewhere on the web and thereby penalise the new site for posting material that is already indexed by Google?
Thanks a million Phillip.
I have a client who has requested a rewrite of 250 blog articles for his IT company. The blogs are dispersed on a variety of platforms: his own website's blog, a business innovation website, and an IT website.
He wants to have each article optimised with keyword phrases and then posted onto his new website thrice weekly. All of this is in an effort to attract some potential customers to his new site and also to establish his company as a leader in its field.
To what extent would I need to rewrite each article so as to avoid duplicating the content?
Would there even be an issue if I did not rewrite the articles and merely optimised them with keywords?
Would the articles need to be completely taken by all current publishers?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
