Question

I have bought a new domain name for now, NEW SITE NAME REMOVED. Now, should I leave OLD SITE NAME REMOVED up? or should I take it down and replace it with NEW SITE NAME REMOVED?  I know it takes time for engines to really link to your site, with OLD SITE NAME REMOVED  I am pretty decent with a few natural searches.  Or should I mirror the content on the pages?  Thanks for all your help! - Read the reply

Question

Actually, there is one point that worries me a little.  My ratio of site
visits; booking enquiries is very poor ( I think).  You can see the numbers
of visitors in the Stats to which you have access.  It occurs to me Paul
that maybe the use of "Inca" in the TITLE is the cause.  Anyone looking
perhaps for information about the Incas of Peru may finish up as a
'visitor'; what do you think?

Question

You mentioned about backing-up recently.  Can I backup the whole website so
that if I made an error as I did recently, I could restore the whole Etomite
content of my website to that which it was before I made the error?
