- We have been using a domain name with a hypen until the domain name we really wanted became available. we now own it. From a search engine perspective, should we domain forward the new one to the old (via 301), move the web content to the new domain and domain forward the old to the new, or a better option?

- Hi,
I have few questions regarding SEO that are very critical to me and i need a serious advice of some expert on it.
Question 1:
Whenever i search in Google for my company name, it shows my company's old description. I heard that Google picks descriptions from DMOZ so, i also updated my company's description there but no luck. How can i make Google show my company's updated description instead of older one?

- I was just wondering if when adding keywords/phrases into meta tags and content if it is necessary to use singular and plural. Also Does it matter the order in which you place words in a keyphrase? Example: security camera system VS camera security system. Will you still come up the same even if the user doesnt search using the exact same order?

- If I use a 301 redirect will I loose my current search engine rankings or will my rankings stay the same but with my old domain being replaced by the new one in the rankings. I am basically just going to transfer the entire website all files and everything from the old domain to the new one.

- Do you happen to know the phrase or product I can use to determine what number my site is ranked at on a keyword.
I have just had my site indexed and I want to know where I'm placing. It is easy when I'm closer to the top. But unfortunately that doesn't always happen.
Thanks in advance.

- I know that the search engines don’t like automated submissions and I submit my site pages manually - they have it set up now for the most part that you have to be a real person and input their code to submit your urls - but why is it that they don’t like automated submissions? Is it because they get too much volume sent in?

- I'm just starting to build up link popularity for my website and have begun establishing reciprocal links to my site. As far as I know, it's beneficial to me to have my link up on a page that only has a few other outgoing links on it. So what is the maximum amount of outgoing links that one should have on a page? Thanks!

- To Search Engine Expert-
My client was getting great top 10 hits for his Business Website(s). Now he is way down on the list. Could his competition be sabotaging him, perhaps sending in bogus information possibly saying that his web business is out of business??? How could we find out this information?
Thank You-
