Many times an SEO wears several hats. He or she may edit a current website’s text, add improved meta data and titles, or they may create entirely new content from scratch.
Another equally important task is to cultivate inbound text links from industry-related sites; this can be the most time-consuming task of all and requires the SEO to carefully prequalify all prospects.
Ultimately, the job function of an SEO is to improve a website’s visibility and positions in the major search engines.
For anyone wanting to venture into the business itself, or learn SEO to optimize their own website, I can highly recommend an important resource – the SEO Tutor ebook.

We’re still listed on Google, we have plenty of backlinks and we’re not doing anything naughty at all so what gives? 
Thanks for the replies everyone!
- Servers: No server prob as our AWStats and StatCounter are all reflecting the same issue.
- New Content: Overnight drop of 95% can’t be lack of content for 1 week.
- Backlinks: We still have plenty of backlinks from various sources.
- Errors: Site has no coding errors with all of Google’s diagnostic tools.
- Hacking: This is a possibility.
- PPC: We don’t use PPC as we’re a free tool.
- Competition: We have no competition.
- PR Reindex: Currently PR4. Re-indexing of pages is a possibility!
- Traffic Source: 90%+ of our traffic comes from Google.
From all of the excellent suggestions it seems likely that Google have gone through their indexed pages and re-organised them putting more relevant pages above ours. Best to just sit tight and see if things get any better over the next few days… It’s just a little frustrating to have spent a few months getting the site great, starting to get decent traffic and then someone pulls the plug
admin answers:
Google just recently did a PageRank update. When that happens, some sites also get re-indexed. This can happen for a variety of reasons but the most common are duplicate content, spammy activity on your site or your anchor text is too narrow.
If it is just a update related shift, there is a good possibility your rankings will return. Give it a few days.

Lisa asks…
An SEO website analysis tool keeps telling me to set up a 301 direct between the www.domain.com and domain.com?
However I don’t know where to set this up as:
-I brought my domain through godaddy.com AND
-My site is hosted as an addon domain through another hosting provider
Do I set up the 301 direct from godaddy.com OR the control panel of the hosting provider OR somewhere else?
admin answers:
This is done by using a .htaccess file, and works fine with GoDaddy.
Let me show you how I did this for my own website.
You need to choose whether your site should appear with the www or without it after the page loads. I suggest having it appear WITH the www
Create a file called .htaccess (Note- nothing goes before the .) You can do this in Notepad. Insert the following lines:
RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The only thing you should change is replace yourdomain with what your domain really is. Also, replace com with org or whatever if your domain is not a .com.
This will result in a page requested as yourdomain.com returning a 301 message to the browser (and Googlebot) saying the page has permanently moved and the correct page name is www.yourdomain.com
This is exactly what you want. Upload the file to your server root, and you’re done.
IMPORTANT: If you make any mistakes in this file, be aware that it will mess up the server, which will not deliver any pages at all until you either delete the .htaccess file or fix it.
By the way, in Google Webmaster Tools, make sure you specify the same preference- that you want the www.
