In reply to: Utterly stupid questionWordPress is built in PHP so there is a good chance it can be used with WordPress, but the description is so vague that it is hard to really say.
I believe Amazon has an API which you can use to pull in data to display on your site.

In reply to: My Blog Google Rank Has Dropped Massively ?Typically newer sites will fluctuate quite a bit for the first 6 months after they launched. The search engines are watching the site during this time to determine the quality of it and if the site was just quickly thrown up as spam or thin content to try and make money.
Do not get discouraged, very few websites if any are very successful right away it takes time to establish authority in the eyes of the search engines and gain a steady flow of search engine traffic.
Use this time to consistently add unique quality content to your website (3-5 new pages a week if possible) and try to get some links to your site from quality sites.

In reply to: Help, my website is suddenly not ranking on GoogleThe difference in content between your different suburb pages is very slim, and it looks like some of the content was produced using article spinning. If I am able to notice that quickly then Google can definitely detect it also, which could be the reason why your rankings drop.
I would focus on creating unique content for each of your suburb pages.

In reply to: My Blog Google Rank Has Dropped Massively ?Did you make any changes to your website?
I would give it a few more days and see if it recovers. Newer sites tend to fluctuate more in rankings then more established sites.

In reply to: Help – 2 months and site not indexed by any search engine?Your site is indexed, but it appears that it is not ranking.
The ‘site:standoutgym.com’ query in Google will tell you if your site is indexed or not and since there are results showing up your site is indexed.

In reply to: Google Keyword ToolOne positive thing of long tail key phrases that contain shorter key phrases within it, is that you can target both of them in one phrase.
So in your example – ‘Healthy Chicken Wraps’ would be targeting both ‘Healthy Chicken Wraps’ and ‘Chicken Wraps’. It does not guarantee you will rank for both phrases but you are targeting both of them.

In reply to: how to display pages in google searchWhat you are referring to are called sitelinks. These are automated, and there is no way to ensure they show up for your site. Below is more information about them.

In reply to: Are Comments good for seoThey can be good for SEO if they contain useful information and phrases that people search with.
Make sure the comments are relevant to the page though and useful for your users. Base your decision on approving comments on their value to your site and users rather than their usefullness to SEO.
What you want to do is add a canonical meta tag from your old site pointing to the corresponding page on your new site.

Hopefully you do not have too many pages on the old site to redirect. There are some WordPress plugins that can help with this.
Using this meta tag will help the search engines learn that the new site should be credited with the old site content, and once they have crawled the old pages and updated their index, your new site should start ranking in their place as long as you do not have any other issues.

In reply to: Case sensitivityTypically case sensitivity is only an issue for URLs beyond the root directory (example.com), so usually it does not matter how you enter in the root domain it should work.
So ‘example.com’ and ‘EXAMPLE.COM’ should both work, but I have seen the following URLs cause issues and not work ‘example.com/sample.html’ and ‘example.com/Sample.html’
I agree with esmi, it sounds like a server issue.

In reply to: SEO JuiceThe link juice is the value passed by a link to your site, so by changing hosting companies it will not disappear, it stays with your domain. If you change your domain name then you will lose the link juice though.
Also keep in mind that if you change the URL structure you will need to redirect the old URLs to the new ones in order to pass the link value/link juice from the old URLs to the new ones.

In reply to: Rel=canonical questionThe rel canonical tag will only affect the page the tag is on and not the entire site (unless of course you add it to every page).
What you want to do is definitely possible with rel canonical. Originally the rel canonical could only be used to point to the same domain, but Google changed it recently to allow it work cross domain.

In reply to: Same site on a domain and subdomain help pleaseIf you are keeping a copy of the same site on the subdomain I would also either password protect the subdomain or set it to ‘noindex nofollow’ so the search engines do not find and index it and see it as duplicate content.
You can quickly set it to no index by gong to Settings > Privacy and choosing ‘Ask search engines not to index this site.’
