    Can Blog Commenting Hurt Your SEO?

    This will not be the reason for your decline is ranking, or the rise of the site you left the comment on. If you have only been blog commenting and all of your links come from this then it could look spammy. But one comment would not have had this impact. Sometimes you can get an initial jump in...

    What type of font should i use for my lgo

    Unique designs (including font) can give you something extra but it has to work. If you try being too unique you could be in danger of pushing it too far. There is no black and white answer to your question - it depends on the design of the logo and which specific fonts you are considering.

    Ecommerce question

    Remember the security issues. You need to be able to insure that your customers knows that it will be safe to make payments through their site, both from their point of view and their customers. You are dealing with people's bank details so the security has to be water-tight.

    Website Appraisal - What do you think its worth?

    If it's taken you 50 hours then I think $750 is fair. That's $15 an hours, which is a fair price for changing a template. Of course if the design etc was original it would be more.

    Landing page optimization

    A landing page should have an obvious call to action. So an obvious next step that a visitor can take, whether it's to buy a product, submit a request for more information or contact the website/company.

    Incredible Web Design

    Both the OP and first reply are as bad as each other. None of those websites are up to much. This isn't what this forum is for.

    Advice in SEO

    When you change language to English, the menu is still in Serbian (not just an SEO point, but a general usability one). You also need more internal links besides the menu. Have you done any off-page SEO (about 60% of SEO is off-page)?

    Need advice for my CV's website

    What type of job are you looking for? If you are looking for a web based job then you need to make sure the design of your website shows off what you can do. Otherwise you should keep it fairly simple. As long as it's not a mess and you can clearly explain who you are and what your strengths are...

    Wordpress: are web designers still necessary?

    Although there is a lot you can do with Wordpress, if you really want a professional, quality website then it won't do the job as well as a good web designer. Wordpress can do the basic's well but if you want more than that you have to pay for it. There's a lot of restrictions with WP.

    Turnaround Time?

    Sorry, I don't really understand what you mean. But if you want to know what the time frames should be you need to work out how long you think a particular task should take depending on the amount of work needed and your other commitments. And always leave a little contingency time.

    Time spend on SEO for your own site?

    How much time do you spend working on the SEO for you own company? We offer SEO, web design and development, and graphic design services and I was wonderting how much time others who offer these (or one of them) spend SEOing their own site and where they rank as a consequence?

    graphic designer hourly rate

    I think that sounds low. For a really professional job I think you're looking at more like $50. But then if it's something simple someone reletively inexperienced can do then maybe you can get it for $25.

    Photoshop or Illustrator

    I think photoshop is better for beginners but professionals really should be able to use both.

    Am I charging too little?

    The previous answer is right in terms of how much work you are getting. If you are getting lots of work then you may be able to increase your prices (though I wouldn't charge too much extra in one go). But if you're struggling to get work as it is then leave it at the current rate.

    Pricing?

    If you want to know how much a site costs, why don't you contact the company whose site it is and ask them. In terms of pricing, firstly make sure you know exactly what they're after and then work out how long you think it will take. Then decide what you want to charge an hour and base the...

    how to promote websites by using SEO

    I think you should suggest that your clients hire someone to do their SEO. I have come across a lot of web developers who claim to include SEO but don't really know what they're doing, which of course ends up upsetting their clients. That's not a criticism it's just that they don't have the...

    Will redesigning drop your ranking?

    Why is this? I don't agree. Changing the content could but you say most of that will remain as it is. Plus changing the content could just as likely IMPROVE the rankings, depending on the specific changes.

    Strategies to stick your visitors to your website

    In an effort to get their website up the rankings I think a lot of people forget that they need visitors to stay on their site and design the site for SEO rather than for the visitors. But then I think others are guilty of the opposite - not giving enough thought to SEO during the design and...
