awesome..thanks

ok.

I think.

Patience. Very thin. Frustration at maximum point.

the "boss" now has changed his mind. his first priority is the bots because of the ranking. people won't click on us if we aren't in the top couple of positions, well we would get more traffic that way. which i agree with. but the users are only his second priority.

so he still wants to know WHERE the bots are. if they are in the US he will stay with our host.

he understands the page load time affects the users. but he thinks if the bots are in the US then it would be better to be close to them.

i cant actually form any coherent words right now.

how the heck do i explain this to him? its good for the users but i dont know about the bots and he only cares about the bots. i cant find the information about the bots.

how is it better for seo if we are hosted in ireland. how do the bots know? i dont know how to explain to him. how can the bots tell if there is a slow page load time? i dont know how to answer that. i am here to better the rankings. i need to do that. how will being hosted in ireland help that? i know how important it is for the users. and that they...sigh. anyway i know how important it is for them..but how is it important for seo...i can see the logic of it being better to be hosted in ireland. because well..we are an irish company.. and the load time will be less...but for seo...how does it make a difference? i just dont know how to explain. i only have a gut feeling and that wont convince anyone.

i didnt swear!

*sighs* .. *grumbles about virtual guinness*

Anyways ...

Location of the bots doesn't matter. The bots could be running out of my spare bedroom ...

What the bots do care about is the location of the server.
You're an irish company ... nothing tells me your irish ... hosted in the US ... using a gmail address ...

*sighs* I'm going buying a beer

right so it doesnt affect seo for the bots. my boss wont do it.

edit: bugger that. i will make him.

it heavily affects it.

yeah i misread coz i was all ...cross :P

thanks

no problem ... boss needs to get into web development for a few years and then make decisions about web design

o my gods. he agreed!!!!!

yay.

the ranking dropped from the original site. i dunno why. possible keyword stuffing in image title tags. the coding was redone to a more seo friendly way. a few pages were added thats all that changed really. working on my boss to ease up on the keyword stuffing. the previous site had outdated coding in. some of the content on new site was improved. i dunno why it dropped!! in theory its a better site. we added the testimonials too. and blog in the menu.

would that make such a big difference? why would it drop?

the alt tags in previous site were stuffed too.

man. im trying so effing hard here!!!!

doing all the research i can. i have to concentrate on the ppc too though...AND im doing the office admin. ppc needs work.

right. seo first. we dropped.

any new advice?

The reasons can be endless. Look forward instead of back but what I want to ask what you meant by original site? Do you guys have two sites on the go?


Hoover over your home page links and look where they are linking to, looks messy. On your home links, including the banner, link to the full domain of the site: http://www.learnenglishindublin.com/
