Thank you for the info. I am trying to verify my link on other sites. You may have solved the problem. I guess my link on Bob's site has not been added to google yet.

Hi- Sorry I have been away The exact command I tried was: ken's site:bobswoodcrafts.com/ The text Im searching for is:"Ken's Wooden Toys" I tried the site command on the homepage and on the links page with no luck. This link text text is on the link page...

Hi- I am trying to verify link partners using google's SITE command to search for "Ken's" on certain websites. I found a website that has my text link but when I used Ken's site:XXXXXXX.com/ the search came up empty. I can pick up the text with a find text search on the webpage (ctrl F) but...

Is there an effective way to get someone to remove content and images that they stole from your website? Some website has stolen old discontinued wooden truck listings from my site and now they are trying to sell the items as their own designs. I no longer carry the models but I have the...

Thanks for the ideas. I am now getting rid of dead beat links.

Hi- I have about 700 links that I have accumulated over the years. I tried to check the links with google's site: and link: option and I think a lot of sites are not linking back. (This may be due to my errors) Is is very common for sites to get rid of your links? Is there an efficient way...

excellent advice. You probably saved me a ton of frustration. I will be looking for good matching sites and I hate link spam also. I have just cleaned out a bunch of sites I was linked to that were questionable.

I have seen advice on this site saying you need to get backlinks. Is there a polite way to request a backlink? In other words can someone provide an example of how to approach a strange new website and request a link without coming across as a spammer? Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Is there an efficient method to find the links that google does not like? I hear google may penalize you if one of your links is linked to a bad site. How in the world do people maintain 100000+ links manually :eek:

Hello- I have a series of link pages that has been around for several years. Now I hear google is getting tough on all kinds of link issues and now I'm worried. 1) I would like to get rid of links that are broken or outgoing only. Is there a good strategy or (free) software for this? I am...

Great advice everyone. Thanks BMA. You bring up some very interesting points. Now I will look at title tags and headings. So if I just had wooden toys in the title tag then dont I need something else to describe my shop in the serp? I have analyzed my competitors again and noticed something...

Great point. My competitors have so many links that I am not sure how to even analyze where they come from or what kind of links they are. How can these small shops accumulate so many links?? V2 said quality is important but I do not know it the competition's numerous links are or are not...

V2- Thank you for your invaluable advise. I will implement the ideas you have mentioned. Just to be sure I understand, I should rewrite my site and find link partners with key-phrases that have a broader audience. Also I need to find extremely relevant and high ranking link partners that...

Excellent suggestions. I do not have the stats form when I was first on google. Im not sure about the conversion rate but 6-7 years ago, I would guess they were much higher. It seemed easy to climb and hold that #1 spot. I do have items listed on other sites but there are less sales due to...

Hello- Thanks for the great replies, sorry I have been away so long. My site is www.woodtoyz.com Target key words in order are: wooden toys, wood toys, wooden trucks I have not changed the copy that much over the years. The keyword density seemed high so I lowered it. I have looked at the...

Hello- I have fallen behind the times and my website has slipped on Google. I used rich content and links to maintain a high placement for years and all the sudden I dropped. From what I have read, you need more than copy and links. I am not a big business so I have to maintain the website...

Thanks that looks like a good tool to start with. I am also trying to develop an application to check links using the results of a google search but the data returned from google seems to inconsistant :(

Hello- I have some link pages that I have built up over the years. I would like to be able to check each link to make sure the link partner still has my link. Is there a method or cheap program that checks to see if your links are 2 way? Thanks! Ken

Thank you. I guess the simple pages are the best. Also by using publisher, I noticed the pages were becoming bloated.

Hi- I am considering redoing my old school HTML based website and replacing some of the pages with pages generated in ms publisher. I made a pretty slick looking test home page but I noticed that much my old text will be converted to graphics by using word-art. I have important key words...
