Should I Update content if Doing well in google
-
I have a page that is doing ok in google, it is for a service but i am not to sure if i should re write it and update it. The content page is in position two on page two in google, so should i re write the page to try and increase page rank for the service or should i leave it alone
any advice would be great

Thanks for that. I have just altered the page now and will see how it goes and then alter more of the page at the end of this week

Position 12 in Google is not considered well enough in my opinion. Most people never make it to page 2 of Google for searches. See if there is anything better you can be doing with the title tag, URL/filename and other on page optimization as well as how that page is linked to on your site (proper anchor texts)
If you are ranking at 12 with a little bit of effort you should be able to make it onto the 1st page. I would definitely play with any page that is not ranking on the 1st page. Just don't over do the on page SEO and write the content for the readers, not the engines.

If it's out of date you should update it, definitely. Fresh, relevant content is important to the user and the search engines (depending on the type of content, sometimes very important - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-query-deserves-freshness). Just make sure you don't mess with your well-ranked phrases too much, but make sure the text is still readable to the human! Depending on the search phrase and competition an update done in the right way could potentially move you to page 1 - but another note, if you're on page 2, I'd question how much traffic you actually get, unless it's for a phrase that gets millions of searches. Is it a term that's worth ranking on page 2, or even page 1 for?

To know effect on our Website rank in Google Search results
Ours is Property Advertising Company. And we have agents and consultants working from other areas in providing property for advertising in our website. So we collect all the data (5000 data nearly) and upload in one stretch directly to our database. I would like to know whether this process will affect our ranking in google search results because when we upload 5000 data, the links in our website also increases.

Google Penalty
Hey there, I am working with a site who recently received an email from Google that they have been penalized. Since I have only been working with this site for a couple of weeks I know it's from past SEO work. I tried to pull back links for them and they have 1.5 million of them and every one I look at is a good quality site. I did notice one thing that stood out and I need your opinion. They have a blog in which they run about 3 ad banners and about 4 other links site wide creating several thousand links with the same anchor text and seems to be a bit spammy on the page. However, the blog is owned by them... and the amount of same anchor text links is a very small percentage of their 1.5 million links. Can you offer a different way for me to attempt to find these bad links? Could their blog by itself cause the issue? Please share your thoughts with me about this.

Page Rank Update
I was hit by Google’s latest Page Rank update. I know “don’t be obsessed with Page Rank”, but it concerns me. I thought that I was developing a very good link profile and actually was hopeful that it would go to a PR-5 and it dropped to a PR-3. www.simply-bags.com I have another site www.keepsakes-etc.com and have done very little link building and it also dropped to a PR-3. Can anyone give me some honest feedback about my concern?
