Does anyone have any suggestions on the best wordpress themes to use?
Here is one that has been recommended to me before:
-
Just a word of caution :
When you have a custom theme / plugin .. please make sure thing work as its expected because some plugins / themes wont play nice with each other .

You could take a look at WooThemes' large list of quality WordPress themes, as well as the ever-popular Thesis theme.
Find WooThemes demos here, some are even free: http://www.woothemes.com/themes/
Find Thesis here (not free): http://diythemes.com/

We use studiopress themes and themeforest for specialty themes. Studiopress provides us the best value for clients as we got 50 themes fir $350...themeforest has been the best for specialty themes.....
Hope this helps.

I have an like using a theme called U-Design, it is great for SEO too. Also I like using a free theme called Responsive!
SEO by Yoast

And make sure to have some sort of security plugin. -
Nathan, I'd say that WordPress in general is a good platform for SEO, regardless of which theme you use.
I use several of Brian Gardener's StudioPress themes which work very well for making an attractive site, but I'd say it is the content you produce and what you do with it that matters more than the theme. I've used Brian's themes for many years and always been happy with them.
We use the Platinum SEO WordPress plugin which make it easy to get things working nicely and have spent time with generally getting things to be Google friendly.
I'd say your content is still the main thing though (followed by outreach to the community around your clients and business) - if that is good, everything else seems to fall into place.

Have an eBook. What is best practice for SEO?
Hello We have a free eBook - its a great resource and great piece of content. It is available to download on our website here - http://re-timer.com/the-product/how-to-sleep-better/ The book is available as a whole or as individual chapters (i.e. http://re-timer.com/app/uploads/2015/07/Chapter8.pdf?b0df38). The PDF chapters appear to be doing well in Google search for certain keywords. I can't measure this in GA though. I would like the eBook to assist the SEO of my website overall. If I create a web page and 'embedded' the PDF into it will Google still crawl this page? At the moment we are also using this to collect email addresses, this is a nice to have and it is OK if people get the eBook without doing this (if they find a chapter in Google they currently don't have to enter their email address). I'm sure lots of people have eBooks now. What is best practice and the best way to use this as a tool to maximise SEO for the whole website (http://re-timer.com)? Thank you! Laura

What would be the best way to translate my website for international seo?
I am planning on creating a multi language website that targets different countries and would like to know what would be the best way to translate my content from English to multiple different languages (French, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, etc.). I would hire a translator but doing so for all these different languages would be too costly. Using Google translate will leave me with at best a rough translation. What are my other options? Is there a website that can provide me a better translation? Would Fiver be a better/cheaper alternative? Thoughts?

Wordpress Frameworks for SEO - Genesis - Does it Get Any Better?
I'm sure there's a ton of people in this community running Wordpress, any Genesis developers/users out there? For anybody who doesn't know, Genesis is a parent framework for building wordpress child themes. It saves a ton of time for people that aren't too handy w/ php (like me). I'm working on a few sites locally with it right now, and it's really impressive. I'm seriously never planning on using another WP framework. It also integrates perfectly with Yoast SEO, which is something not all frameworks do. So I thought I'd try to get some input from the community here, anybody have another framework they like? Or have an opinion on the SEO benefit of genesis? Would love to hear...

How does a Responsive Site kill SEO?
How does a Responsive Site poentially kill SEO? I've seen a few feeds on twitter how a website took a rankings dive after implementing a Responsive theme; yet, it's not clear to me what is actually going on within a Responsive site that would cause the SEO rank to tank? I can only speculate that it introduces a bunch of 404 errors, or that it changes all of the URLs into gibberish, so you loose all of the links coming into your website if not 301'ed? Can someone clarify, what are the actual mechanical issues on a Responsive website that becomes a concern to SEO? Thanks.

Optimizing a Wordpress Blog For SEO
Besides the standard Yoast for SEO plugin tweaks, I'm researching best practices when setting up a wordpress blog. In this instance, the "front end" of the site would be hardcoded static pages designed for an e-commerce site, while there would also be a /blog/ attached to the site - for blog posts, fresh content, etc.

Best strategy for multiple internal links
We have a website that has a whole heap of internal links. After re-structuring the footer links to the main categories we are now looking at the best way to display the internal links from each category (approx 20-50 links from each). At present they are simply listed on the corresponding category page, however this doesnt look great so we want to display them in a way that is user friendly and also seo friendly. Any suggestions and examples appreciated. Thanks in advance.
