i think this might help you make a better decision about how to approach this http://youtu.be/HtSzi2MUegs, personally i always use a meta description by the way it goes in your head tag like this
<head>
<meta name="description" content="description for your page goes here" />
</head>
When think that i would recommend is make use of ...

Web sites typically duplicate a lot in the URL because URLs are often based on folder structure. Having keywords at the end is more spammy than having them at the beginning where they might be used to specify the template in which the data is shown, or the folder in which the data is stored.
Because so many sites duplicate keywords across all their URLs, I ...

The repetition of -ratings-reviews-prices in the URL would probably be considered spammy as it would appear on every single product page without variation in the position and, if you are not careful, without the appropriate context. In other words, if you do it, you had better have actual prices, ratings, and reviews on each page to avoid a different ...

Duplicate content is not always bad for your site. If users expect to see the information on your site, or your site would be better for users with the duplicate information, then by all means, put it on the site. The legitimate use of duplicate content with permission from the original author is called "content syndication". Google is generally fine with ...

One solution might be to use the rel="canonical" tag on the duplicate content pages, thus avoiding penalties by Google.
Another solution might be to rewrite the content to become unique, but this is obviously devious work and needs to be done right.
Yet another approach is to have the duplicate content on the site (to complete information for users) but ...

I would not recommend fetching content from parent site to each clinic website for the same treatment. Google will consider this as a copy content and you will not achieve rank for your each clinic websites. You may also hit by search engine for inserting duplicate content to your website.
Solution:
Try to make unique content for each clinic for these ...

PeggyP is right. There exist two quote symbols, and some word-processing apps use to mess them up. The equivalent for " (and right one) is " (see two perfectly vertical comas). But you've misspelled it in your metatag and you've used the other one (the wrong one), which looks like an italique " (two oblique comas). Have a care look to the quote symbol ...

Google has a lot of ways to collect data about you and your website. They can tell how much traffic you get via Google search and Google analytics (as you mentioned) they also have android, gmail, chome browser, chrome OS, Google reader (for a little longer at least), youtube, and Google plus just to name a few sources. You don't need to rely on GA to get ...

EDIT: your question is a bit misleading, but as per the comment you gave on your question.. here is my answer.
Page Views / Traffic is only tracked via Google Analytics, but that doesn't mean that your site wont get indexed anymore. You will gain page rank even without google analytics via the amount of link backs (other sites linking back to you) thus your ...

Using a H1 helps Google establish what the page is about, it is not a sole factor and one of many... As long as Google has many other signals then its not a problem. In terms of the impact its impossible to answer since no one really knows how much but people believe the headers to be less important as the meta description and title since these pop up in ...

All the sites will be on the same domain.
Do you mean subdomain for every clinic site?
It will not be the problem. You may target every subdomain site for the territory and audience you need. The only requirement will be to put the link to the parent URL in the end of each article.
Also you may to submit your authorship by integration with your ...

I have found quality websites linking 2 you+related content from those sites will ump your overall PR, like said above, Apple rank whois better, and just because I have millions of unique users (Porn) and link to your site I assume no Adult related content the extra bump in traffic helps pageviews not pagerank. FFA lists, Picpost, TGP, etc traffic is high ...

Google reads content within a element that uses display:none, it also checks to make sure there is a trigger point, i.e that the content can be revealed though JavaScript.
Many people don't put in trust in Google being able to understand their scripts and many people opt to use <noscript> as Anthony has mentioned, using noscript ensures that Google ...

No you shouldn't concern yourself, it makes perfect user sense.
If you want to be nice to those with javascript disabled though you could place a <noscript> element with your hidden images.
I would also put the photo numbers in the alt tags, something like alt="Photo #2 of bmw 328 manual 2008 black 18 inch rims"

If your image is a spacer or purely decorative, use alt=""
<img src='blank.png' alt="">
<img src='rounded_uppercorner.png' alt="">
<img src='horizontal_rule.png' alt="">
If your image contains rendered text, use that text as the alt
<img src='logo.png' alt="My Company Name">

A factor is how your keyword is related from an outside perspective to your domain.
If your link appears on other places in the context of your keyword it ranks the site higher.
For example an article on a blog (ideally solely writing about your keyword context) with your link you intend to rank for.
The higher the page value of the linking site the more ...

At the 3rd position in the Terms of significance at your Webmaster Page Means that you'll rank higher than other sites. AFAIK It means that the keyword 'angeethi' at the top 3 of your sites (in the terms of quantity).
You must consider the popularity, quality, trustworthy, and BIG 'G' factor of your sites among others.

Google puts great emphasis on keywords. Why do you think they even had Panda and Penguin in the first place? Keyword Density, Relevancy, and Anchor Text Density were a big indication for Google to detect optimized websites.
Don't let Google figure out your keywords. That is not the mark of a webmaster. You need Google to see your keywords the way that you ...

Yes. Indeed there. Head over to the Google Keyword Tool. Select your search as "Exact" search, and then key in your keywords. You should be able to generate the report for your specific keywords.

Google is an algorithm. They cannot detect duplicate content by comparing it with billions of pages in the web. Anyone who is familiar with ngrams and databases ought to know it. What they merely does is to rank the same content based on the authority and various other factors. This is what is done algorithmically. But manual penalty is a different story. ...

I think it's a bad idea to try to insert a keyword inside your domain name. It appears spammy. Domain name like companyname.com is the best choice. Think about big corporations like Google, Facebook and so on, do you see domain name like search-engine-google.com or social-network-facebook.com? Of course not, only the brand for the domain name.
Moreover, you ...

The definition of the original content is not the strong feature of Google and other search engines. So, if you copy alien content from other websites and put it to yours and make link to your G+ account and submit your authorship, Google will identify you as the creator of it.

It depends on what you choose to do with the traffic that you receive. In case of niches like dentists, 100 searches a month can be profitable. But when it comes to earning revenue through ads, its recommended to choose a keyword with more than 1000 local searches.
Also, stop using the "Phrase" searches, and move over to "Exact". Exact means it shall list ...

The Onsite SEO that you have been mentioning does not even take 20% of the entire SEO. So there is no point to fuss over it much.
Rather than creating content for the search engines, I suggest you content for your users. Readability is a good factor here. The SEO advantage over both the methods are quite negligent, and I suggest you stick to one that looks ...

Freshness is indeed a factor. But it doesn't have to mean that your static content needs to be updated regularly. You can rather add more content to your static content regularly.
Blogs do not update much when it comes to already existing pages. But they keep adding more content to your blog.
Even if you can't update those static pages, you may try to edit ...

search engines don't execute Javascript
This isn't strictly true anymore - they do execute some javascript, sometimes.
Where will the users be directed from search in this case?
They will be directed to the page with the content relevant to their search - i.e. the external page, in this case.

Now your byline goes like this:

This way the name corresponds to the name on your Google+ profile.

Make sure your byline name matches the name on your Google+ profile.

It seems to me that you have nothing to lose in contacting your old client to see if they require work to be done to their website. You will achieve nothing by not asking and it could be profitable if you do. You don't have to be so blunt by saying "your site looks terrible", simply regaining contact and enquiring about work could be sufficient. You cannot ...

It's my opinion that they should only keep their website fresh if it is necessary. Adding useless crap every now and then just to have something "new" is more a detriment than anything else.
Ofcourse, it also depends on the type of site and what is expected by its users. Do users of this site come back often, with purpose? Do they expect new content? Or do ...

The problem with Rich Snippets currently is that we currently don't know if they improve SEO, Google is always vague at best and has said it does not. But from what is reported Rich Snippets do help things like:

If the content is different at each URL, then Googlebot will treat URL as its own page. You have different URLs, different content, you will have multiple pages in the Google index.

Your robots.txt is just fine. However, it might not be enough to totally prevent indexing: Disallow command in robots.txt will block crawling, but in some cases the URLs themselves will still be indexed because of links or other factors.
Robots.txt is not meant to prevent the indexing of URLs, its purpose is to prevent crawling.
Best way to prevent Google ...

Google does not just ignore links in sections that are display:none.
Consider DHTML multi-level drop down menus. In such a menu, you hover over the top level menu item and a list of links drops down. That is a case in which the links are in display:none initially, but user interaction with the page shows them. Using drop down menus like this is ...

I think black hats SEO just wanted to hack this website without being detected by the webmaster.
Indeed, putting hidden links in a webpage is out of the guidelines edited by Google. However, it doesn't mean that doesn't work for SEO. In general, it doesn't work a long time.

You should keep the title of the old articles, but make it clear that they are no longer current. There should be a big box on the top of the 2010-2011 article that reads:

Many people assume that you should only ever use one H1 on the page otherwise it dilutes the actual content of the page, this simply isn't true. A H1 Company name and then a H1 for the content is absolutely valid by all means.

Ideally you need a 301 Permanent redirect from one to the other. If you serve the UK exclusively or almost, then redirect from the .com to the .co.uk because the country extension is favored in local searches. Otherwise, redirect the other way around.
Not redirecting creates a vast body of duplicate content which is frowned upon and even

You could just ignore the whole thing: Google and Bing will crawl and index the main page regardless. The frequency will depend on how often the page is updated.
Your situation might be a problem for a busy news site which must publish first about some burning topics. But for a web shop, no problem at all.

You could submit an XML sitemap of the OLD site URLs trough Webmaster Tools, if you still have information about those old URLs. This way Google would both recognize the redirects and find the new URLs as well. I did this for a client once, to speed up things when the site was redesigned.
You could also share some of the new URLs on Google+, as this often ...

You should make sure that the comment links are equipped with the rel='nofollow' attribute. That way Google doesn't use them as ranking signals.
You may also want to consider using some smart anti-spam system like Akismet that isn't vulnerable to manual or algorithmic decoding of captchas.
Of course, you should clean up the existing spam comments as ...
