Adam,

As long as you have a 301 redirect you will be fine.

Hi Frank,

I help my brother on his sketch of the day website. Many of his old posts get solid residual traffic from Stumble Upon. Unfortunately, back in the day we didn’t make his url search engine friendly.

I go back and forth now because I know I should really change this, but I am worried about losing residual stumble traffic. Any thoughts or fixes or is this one of those situations where we just have to bite the bullet?

Great and informative article by the way.

As a business owner nothing makes me smile more than when I see a competitor’s website and it’s filled with Flash and Ajax.

That is a very good point and an excellent edge to have when it comes to returning solid search results for your product or service.

Just when you think you have a handle on SEO . . . Now I know to name my Alt attributes and observe the 65 character rule on the title of blogs.

Thanks for volunteering this valuable information.

Plus I’ll try to remind friends about the negative SEO spider response to splash pages.

Thanks for the tips! I recently read somewhere else that making images SEO friendly is often forgotten by most people, and I realized then that I have been completely ignoring my images altogether. So thanks for reminding me! :]

Jeet,

H1 tag is very important and I should have added it.
