Hi guys,

Can anyone in laymans terms advise on how I can enable my blog for RSS so that other sites can link to it and be updated when my blog is updated?

Many thanks

Hi guys,

When considering the PR of a site to link to, are you gettin the PR of the main URL / home page of the site OR the PR of the page where your link is going to appear. I'm sure you've come...

Is the Google update finished now?

Are we out of the woods?

My SERPS is going up and down every few days, stressful stuff!

Any ideas?

Has anyone used http://www.textlinksrus.com ?

The charge $49 for 50 one way text links.

Advice please?

Thanks

Why is it that if I do a search in google for my keyword in speech marks I find myself on the first page - BUT without the speech marks I cannot be found?

Use the command :

linkdomain:www.whateversite.com (http://www.whateversite.com)

-for Yahoo

Check out SEOElite (http://www.seoelite.com/) - it isnt free but it works very well for what you want

A tip to get relevant backlinks : go to google and type in the following "add url + toys" - keep the speech marks, replace toys with whatever your keyword(s) is , I just used that as an example. That...

I think it's true to say that especially in Google, your links will only have impact and therefore PR if the links have relevancy. Also many directories are PR 0 - so submitting to too many of them...

If your site is kicked out of the index for 'whatever' it will usually come back after 60 days if the thing that triggered the penalty has been removed. You also can send them a reinclusion request...

I apologise in advance for my ignorance :!: - but if robots from Google for example are visiting your site then does that mean it has been 'indexed'?

I ask because I read that if you want to be...

Hi guys,

My site is being visited almost daily by yahoo,google and msn robots. Given that, is it still worth resubmitting other pages of my site?

Cheers!

Can I get some advice on Doorway pages. I have heard that they maybe a good idea, however I hnave a feeling that the search engines may have clamped down on them. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks guys!

Hi guys,

While trying a DIY SEO, I have been reading various sources on the internet who have differing views on link programs and especially reciprocal links.

The issue is that one camp...

You shouldnt necessarily price SEO on position but on traffic, which isnt always the same thing. A good SEO company will be able to find a niche for some of the keywords that your customers will be...

I use AWstats for my websites. It gives a tonne of info and is Free!

Hope it helps

I see where your coming from, your almost saying that SEO is cheating right? Well SEO is used as part of any sites marketing strategy - and cost effective marleting such as 'guerilla marketing' can...

Consider setting up an updated weblog that will be of value to your visitors. This will make your site more sticky, ie: people will come back, and it will mean that as long as it's updated regularly...

I have been checking the backlinks of one of my competitors and I can see that some of the directories they're linked to required reciprocal links to be able to submit to them which is fine. HOWEVER...

I have been reading a lot about SEO, but still aren't sure what backlinks are and how I can implement them?

Help..!

Yes I have heard about it. Think about it though. Imagine you type in MP3 player, and it starts suggesting websites. Are those websites going to come from an 'organic/natural' type search feed or a...

I would also avoid linking to such sites because most do use tricky SEO techniques and in case they are blacklisted it's not worth losing the hard work you have put in for your own positioning

You could also try:

webalizer - http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer/
awstats - http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

I agree. I think for a number of years now, 'search wise' surfers use Google far more. Less savvy searchers would use Yahoo or believe Ask Jeeves would actually answer their 'questions'!

If your reasonably 'techie' and have the time to dedicate , then I think you can do it yourself, but you have to follow the rules and be patient. Much of the guidance you need you can find in the...

It doesn't affect search unless it's geographical.

On another note, I dont think your extension matters as much as people think, and I think it will matter less and less in time...

Have a look...

Ok thanks for that. I thought that you get added to the directotry within a matter of weeks, but it can take months for you to get indexed with the engines which use their directory. I have a...

As a quick note it's probably a good idea to use Blogger.com as they're owned by google, I think it those blogs get a heavier weighting

If anyone does let you know the answer to your questions then please let me know!

I have had bad experience with big SEO companies in so far as if your not spending as much as their bigger clients, then invariably your not going to be a priority. I was given the run around for...

Indexing as your probably aware happens per page, so if the other pages on the site are updated more, have a better keyword density for chosen keywords, then all this needs to be taken into account

Advertising.com have released a product called Dart Search which will help to advise on keywords and phrases etc which afre actually being searched for and I think thats what should be focussed on.

Wow!

Lots of opinions here guys. I think everyone has a valid point, however I think the difference is that because the internet is still growing rapidly, SEO has become a fine art and the...

Hey SEOBook - is there anyway to find out when DMOZ is updated. I submitted my site a while ago and just checked, not in there! So I submitted it again, and read the rules again :-)

<<...

Worth thinking about...

Bear in mind that a lot of forums, blogs, networking websites get a heavier weighting from google simply because they get updated so frequently that they get indexed by...
