Does having a new website design and code affects the SEO
-
Dear experts,
We are in the process of completely revamping our website code and design to a new version of prestashop.
Having mentioned that, please note that we are not changing the URL links. So, the same products links will be the same and intact. Only the content is changing.
So, how this is affecting my website SEO or SERP?
Regards,

If your content is changing it will definitely affect your SEO positioning. Though there's no way of telling if it will have a positive or negative impact.
One thing I would suggest is make sure that you are using the proper keywords in your content(no keyword stuffing) and that you use the proper keywords in page titles, meta, etc.
Beyond that it's all up to the content you put in place.

Nice response eyepaq.
By the way, what's UX?
Well, one part I'm worried about is the number of links per page. Currently I have warning in almost all the website because I'm exceeding the number of links per page. And in the new website, these links will double because I'm adding extra big navigation plus many related links on the sides.
So, how would this affect as well???
-
It can help hurt or stay the same if you have the same CMS better chance of nothing changing
-
Yes it will. It's hard to say if it will be a negative and a positive change though.
There are a lot of elements that come into play as far as rankings and a lot of those elements are on-page elements (real estate / position within the page of content blocks, links, images).
The bottom line however is that since the urls will stay the same it's only half of the issue in this case
As long as it will bring improvements on the UX side you are safe even if for a short time google will "dance" with your rankings...
If you do see negative impacts at least you can pin point how important your on page elements are and if you really assess the situation and the difference you can improve and go even better then before.
Trial and error is the best approach on SEO - and on your case this is the best time to do a new session
Hope it helps.

How much website would be worth for SEO?
I have a website that I'm considering selling. It gives no profit, but I think it has decent SEO value. Link explorer report: domain authority = 69, linking domains: 9.8k, inbound links: 44.2m, ranking keywords: 294. Is that any good? Website is about web design, so keywords are also related to it. Would it be useful for SEO links building for other people? I did sell similar website once, but it was about 7-8 years ago and I've sold it for very high 5 digit amount. However things have changed since then in SEO world, so I don't know if today similar website would be worth much. There is so much information out there that contradicts each other, so I think I'd rather ask professionals here.

PPC for Luxury Goods Website
Hi Mozzers, I am starting a PPC campaign for a website that sells high-end products. The search volume for the generics is very high but I think the conversion rate on those will be quite low given the price of the products. Does anyone have any experience in doing PPC for high-end retailers and what type of keyword I should be bidding on? Thanks!

A heads-up about problems with the new Google Adwords Keyword Planner tool
I noticed that when I was using this tool, the data in the tables would change, often by a lot (up to 50%) when I sorted the columns. (Did nothing else, just sorted.) Since I was starting a new campaign and really needed data, I contacted Google about this and was told: "I understand that the estimates are changing in the Keyword Planner tool when you sort the data. I reproduced this on my end as well and was able to confirm that this is a known technical issue on our end." "Unfortunately the information in the Keyword Planner Tool is currently not the best source of data for your analysis." They then went on to suggest I just test things blindly. So, what do you do to get information about keyword traffic and ppc estimates?

Does sitewide SEO affect PPC Quality Score?
When evaluating a PPC landing page for Quality Score, does Google evaluate the other pages that the landing page is linked to? For example, if we have a well optimized page on the site for "Widgets", can it outscore a well optimized PPC landing page that is isolated in a "disallow" directory with no links into or out of the page? I'm not sure if I am making myself clear...

Google Analytics and Adwords Tracking Codes
A site I help someone with in link building was recently redesigned. I do not have access to the site in any way. Well, after the redesign, no conversions were tracking in Adwords and Analytics ecommerce tracking showed no transactions and no amounts. I found the Analytics code and sent it to their programmer. I have linked the Adwords and Analytics accounts. So now conversions are tracked in Adwords and transactions are tracked in Analytics. However, amounts have vanished and not returned. I'm not technically savvy enough to figure this out. How do I get this Analytics code to track transaction amounts so that they appear in Adwords and in Analytics ecommerce tracking?

Your thoughts on Pay-Per-Rank (Performance based) SEO firms

Do Google Autofill and Instant Search affect Adwords' Keyword Tool reports?
While performing keyword research around the term "windows", I noticed the keyword "windo" gets 18,000 global monthly searches with .23 competition. Why is this? Do y'all think the Google Autofill and Instant Search features affect reports generated by using the Google Adwords keyword tool? For example, if a user starts typing a search query only to find the site they were looking for before they finished typing the search query, does Google count the partial keyword the user never finished typing into the Adwords Keyword report? I've always wondered about this. Sometimes I find it tempting to attack a misspelled keyword because of the massive search volume and low competition for that keyword. I realize that many consumers may not be very good at spelling, and this may reflect a large search volume towards a misspelled keyword. On the other hand, I see this trend of high volume, misspelled keywords many times while performing keyword research for a variety of clients. Thanks.
