Great write-ups but I still wished there were tools out there that would do some of the checking for us.
allfreechips and I were just discussing how to figure out if you have inbound links that are hurting your website. I haven’t been able to find any tools that would do the work.
Also, take a small site say 50-100 uniques per day. Unless the site is totally deindexed the webmaster may not know anything is wrong for a couple of weeks.
