Is it ok if a company address is located in the footer which is in a external php file?
-
We all know that a company's address must be in the footer on every single page. But what if that actual address resides inside an external php file. Meaning the entire footer is an external php file.
Will that affect local seo negatively?
thanks for your help.

I'm no expert but I don't believe the company's address must be in the footer of every single page. Someone with more experience will surely respond to clarify this. It might help for local SEO and probably couldn't hurt.
It is quite common for this information to be included on the about and/or contact us pages.
Looking forward to hear what others have to say.

Thanks Dejan.

Having company address in the footer could be a good practice but it's not an absolute must. The fact that it may reside in an include does not affect SEO at all if that include renders as part of the same document.

What's Worse - 404 errors or a huge .htaccess file
We have changed our site architecture pretty significantly and now have many fewer pages (albeit with more robust content and focused linking). My question is, what should I do about all the 404 errors (keep in mind, I am only finding these in Bing Webmaster tools, not Moz or GWT)? Is it worse to have all those 404 errors (hundreds), or to have a massive htaccess file for pages that are only getting hits by the Bing crawlbot. Any insight would be great. Thanks

Use of Location Folders
I'd like to understand the pro's and con's of using a location subfolder as an SEO strategy (example: http://sqmedia.us/Dallas/content-marketing.html), where the /Dallas folder is holding all of my keyword rich page titles. The strategy is to get local-SEO benefits from the use of the folder titled /Dallas (a folder which is unnecessary in the over all structure of this site), but how much is this strategy taking away from the page-title keyword effectiveness?

Are there SEO implications to blocking foreign IP addresses?
We are dealing with a foreign company that has completely ripped off our entire site template, design and branding. This is such an inconvenience and we've had similar things happen enough in the past that we're considering blocking large ranges of IP addresses from accessing our site, via htaccess. Is this something that will potentially cause problems with search engine bots crawling or indexing our site? We are in the US and our site is hosted in the US, but I'm not sure if the major search engines could potentially be using foreign based bots. Looking for any insight on this or if there are any other potential SEO problems to consider. Thanks

How to know if a seo company is legit and would produce results?
Earlier I asked this http://www.seomoz.org/q/seo-affordable-company and 2 days later I was contacted by a person from a company called optimaltargeting They are not in the seomoz recommended list of companies, but the ones in that list are more expensive. I tried to do searches with their name and rip off or scam, and I couldnt find anything bad about them. I talked with them over skype and they say they do white hat SEO, and linking is manually done. They couldnt promise any results, NOR any estimate of new visits. My visits are at 6k PER month, and I was thinking that a good seo company should be able to get to 25K in 3 months. 50K in 6 months 100K in 1 year. for my website (www.theprinterdepo.com) Would you suggest me to go forward with this one?

Are different IP addresses enough for sites with similar content?
Hi all We're looking at moving our 2 websites onto a cloud hosting package. The content on our sites is very similar (but not duplicated) so at the moment they are on separate servers. If we move to the cloud, is it enough for them to have different IP addresses on the same cloud system, or should we host in separate clouds? Thanks in advance Heather

Multiple businesses, one location
We are a dealership group, we have 2 locations that have multiple brands/multiple business names. IE Chrysler store along with smart... and Infiniti along with Mitsubishi. On Google Places, we can only claim one location per business (based on their guidelines), yet these brands are different. Any suggestions on overcoming this obstacle?
