is free ssl certificate appropriate - only needed for login page Agreed. Do the right thing and pay for it. Think about it this way: if you had to show the site to a potential future employer, would they think you are following best practices? |

Best practice when translating sites into multiple languages - new domains? I have always had better SEO on my sites that have the TLD matching their language. The simple fact is that having that top page in English, Thai, Turkish or Japanese makes a huge difference. Especially when we have a local office in that language region, it makes a site seem more legitimate to visitors when we have the correct local TLD. |

Does Google penalize for H1 & H2 that are not human readable? This CSS: h1.hidden {display:none;} will hide the h1 content and not take up any space on the page. Maybe you never "saw" hidden text because it was hidden! |

Linking to site from same server SEO impact Except Google says it's not. If what you say is true, firms that can afford to use a multiple VPS system would benefit more than others. |

Is better for SEO to have text on the page versus in the title of the a tag? "all our users will pretty much already know what each category is without needing any descriptive text..." Be careful not to over-estimate your users. |

<title>word/word | etc..</title> or <title>word-word | etc.</title> re: SEO Dashes are more commonly considered to be a word separator in the URL. The example you gave looks like a good URL, but not such a good title tag. |

Hosting inhouse or in a Data center Seconded. You can run your own cloud servers or VPS for $20-$40 a month, and not have to worry about swapping out a burnt out motherboard in the middle of the night. |

Are HTML sitemaps important from a SEO perspective? @janjarfalk It depends on the market you're in though. That thinking won't work for sites getting visitors from China. |

Is it bad to use Japanese characters in search-friendly URLs? I think you missed my point. The word "Jap" is unacceptable. |
