But I am crazy about getting full green PR tool bar for my blog.
3) I want to change the domain name of well ranked website in SERP. Is it possible to retain the same keyword positions?
Yes, definitely we can. Just 301 redirecting the corresponding old URLs to the new URLs. In initial after we did this, we may experience a drop in rankings. Once our new URLs got indexed, we can expect a same position that we had earlier.

Following are the special additional SEO stuffs that we have to implement for dynamic website.
1) Generation of dynamic title & description
2) Dynamic XML Sitemap generation
3) Good Internal link structure (Normal)
8 ) Have you attended any search related conferences?
Yes, I have attended one conference named “search Camp 2008″ held at Chennai (India). I had a wonderful time there by sharing the SEO ideas with many webmasters.
9) What’s special in XML Sitemap and where do you submit that?
That is a file which list all the pages of website in XML format designed for SE’s. Here we can give the crawlable frequency and also we can define the priority of all the web pages (1.0, 08. 065 etc). This can be submitted in Google Webmaster tools.
