Dumb SEO Questions 4

This was a great Hangout, for me at least. We continued on for 4 hours after the end of the 90 min recording.

Alistair Lattimore, Mantra Group, and Alastair Loxton, formerly at Hexpress turned up and we discussed new developments at length but unfortunately this was off-air. Hopefully we can ask them to share more if we are lucky enough to see them here again. :)

As always we asked common questions that often appear on the Google Webmaster Help Forum.

Some of the subjects covered were:

1. What to do with 404's.
2. The difference between results returned by Google's Link operator and WMT.
3. Duplicate content.
4. Rewriting URLS
5. Sudden traffic loss.
6. links from 3rd party sites.
7. Setting a preferred domain.
8. Choosing to use non-www vs www for you website and the ramifications of changing it later.
