I don't have experience with Joomla, and have just cursed over a website in Mambo, but the first part of these instructions for copying a Joomla website make it look like the content is in a MySQL database much like Wordpress. I don't know where right off to look for that database, or if the client would have it in the archive you were given, but it's at least a start of where to look.
Hi Stephen,
I'm going back through the older unanswered questions. Did you ever get this figured out? Can you share a solution with us for the archives if you did?
I agree with staying away from the link exchange page idea. However, I would think that you could find legitimate links from local sources, especially if you have any existing offline partnerships with them. Do you sponsor any little league teams or do any charity work? Do you offer free storage for women referred from the battered women's shelter (I know of movers that provide free moving for battered moving)? Anything like that you can ask for a link back from the people as a way for them to show their support. Natural links would also come from people involved in real estate, property management, student housing -- anyone that frequently deals with people that move and need a place to store things.
Hi Candida,
The 302 isn't passing any juice. I'm following up on old questions that are still marked unanswered, and wondering if you decided to do anything different here, and if so, how it turned out for you (or if you still have questions).
Thanks!
I think most of the time people don't worry about it these days, since the search engines are so much better with guessing the correct spelling and showing those results instead of the results for the misspelled word. User forums and reviews are one way you can get misspelled words in without it looking too odd, if that at all fits your situation.
Is your company still asking about this at all, or have you gone way beyond that now?
Hi! I'm following up on some older questions. What did you do in this case? One thing I would have added to this discussion is that if you owned the domain already to verify it in Google Webmaster Tools and see if there were any webmaster notifications there about the domain.
