I need a bit of help to decide whether it is worth including gender in page titles.
In the webmaster tools: I looked at our search queries that include "women", and they account for 9% of our total search queries for the site.
I am wondering if it is the right way assess the benefit of including "woman" or "men" in page titles, looking at it with existing results pointing to us already?
Is there another tool that I can check the actual queries that may not include us in search results?
Like google insights maybe? http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=shoes%2Cshoes%20for%20women&cmpt=q
So it looks like 1.1% of searches for "shoes" are also "shoes for women" is that correct?
As a direct comparison, doing the same analysis on our own search queries, I get 1.8% when comparing "shoes for women" to "shoes"
Implementing this automation would probably affect 99% of our site if not more, splitting it in 2 segments (one portion of page titles including "women" and the other including "men")
Will doing so create a massively repetitive keyword throughout the site, hurting SEO?

I make websites for small businesses, and for some reason business owners love to have several domains with the same website but the TLD containing the city name.
For example:
1. smallbizname.com
2. clevelandsmallbizname.com
3. columbussmallbizname.com
4. cincinnatismallbizname.com
... and so on.
I've seen questions about localization per country aspects, but this is a much smaller scale, so I don't think the same rules apply.
The problem I have is the companies never want to write separate content per domain, just have the same website hosted several times at each domain. I feel this probably hurts SEO for two reasons:
1. Traffic gets scattered throughout domains, could be boosting just one domain.
2. Duplicate content penalty because the content is identical.
My question boils down to this... Should I redirect all the city domains to the main business name domain, or does having these separate sites help to rank better per city?
And if they are redirected, how does google rank the redirects?
Thanks for any input on this issue!!
When I install a new module on Drupal, I get this error:
Warning: ftp_login(): Login authentication failed in
FileTransferFTPExtension-connect() (line 59 of /home/burak/
public_html/beytepe/includes/filetransfer/ftp.inc).
Failed to connect to the server. The server reports the following message:
Cannot log in to FTP server. Check username and password
What can I do? How can I solve this?
I have a bilingual site in Drupal. The problem is that I hate the language switch block taking up so much space (sometimes the only thing in the sidebar is the language switch block).
So what I would love to have is language switch menu item, that would point to the other language (other then the current one).
Something like this:
| Home | Projects | BlaBla | | Cesky |
after swith:
| Domu | Projekty | Blabla | | English |
Is that possible without writing a whole new module?
From an SEO perspective which, if any, is better:
Option 1: Nested lists with h2 tags
<ul id="mainpoints">
<li><h2>Powerful Analysis</h2>
<ul>
<li>Charting and indicators</li>
<li>Daily trading signals</li>
<li>Company health checks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2>World Market Data</h2>
<ul>
[List Items removed for brevity]
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2>Daily Market Data</h2>
<ul>
[List Items removed for brevity]
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Option 2: Divs with h2 and lists
<div id="mainpoints">
<div>
<h2>Powerful Analysis</h2>
<ul>
<li>Charting and indicators</li>
<li>Daily trading signals</li>
<li>Company health checks</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<h2>World Market Data</h2>
<ul>
[List Items removed for brevity]
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Daily Market Data</h2>
<ul>
[List Items removed for brevity]
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Option 3: Definition List
<dl id="mainpoints">
<dt>Powerful Analysis</dt>
<dd>- Charting and indicators</dd>
<dd>- Daily trading signals</dd>
<dd>- Company health checks</dd>
<dt>World Market Data</dt>
[List Items removed for brevity]
<dt>Daily Market Data</dt>
[List Items removed for brevity]
</dl>
My instincts tell me that semanticaly the pure list options (1 & 3) are the best and that h2 may be more SEO friendly (1 & 2) which would point to option 1 as being the best option. I do love the lean makeup of the definition list but will I take an SEO hit by losing the h2 tags?
Before anyone asks, h2 is not valid markup in a dt tag.
Are my instincts right with a nested list being the way to go?
