I’ve been reading up on SEO over the last few months and doing everything I can to improve rankings, but I still have a PageRank of 0!
I’m listed in Dmoz, got quite a few backlinks (still working on it), use H1/H2 tags, have good keyword density, but nothing works!
My site operates in the UK, but has a .com domain. Will it help at all if I make the .co.uk domain the main one, and redirect the .com to that? Will that mess anything up with the search engines (I have a few thousand pages indexed, some backlinks)?
Also, does anyone have any other effective SEO tips and things that I can do myself?
Thanks so much!

The reason I got the domain is so that people could remember it easier because it is shorter.
I paid somebody for SEO advice, and they told me that this is a bad thing because search engines will consider it as multiple content.
Is this true? Is there anyway I can change this?
I want to keep the domain name, but I don’t want my rankings to suffer. As of now, my rankings are really bad.

Problem is I’ve changed all the file names, so I can’t just have an automatic one. I’ve seen scripts for php or asp or coldfusion to fix this, but my pages are in .html and don’t support and don’t support php, asp, etc. I want to keep my search engine rankings and tell search engines my page is permanently moved. Can anyone give me a script to do this? Thanks!

As a result, we have developed some very good search engine rankings. Unfotunately we need to switch our brand and as a result our website url.
If I set up a 301 redirect, will this preserve our rankings? How does this work–will our old one stay at #8 for example in the rankings and if we get lots of links to our new site, could it then show as a separate listing at like #10 for example? Or would the original listing go up to #6–would the listing show our old or new URL?
If this doesn’t work, what is the best solution?
Thanks.
