Forum rules prohibit any site specific mention. However, a discussion of your techniques would be interesting to discuss:-)

Yeah, I do.

How do you know a sitewide in Google performs better for you than a homepage-only link?

Google has changed the algorithm to only count a sitewide as "1 citation", or credit it as 1 link. An example is blogs. Look how many bloggers put a sitewide link on their blog. However, google...

Linkbaiting is creating content that others can't resist linking to. Eg: reference pages, hot news story, attack story, humor or cartoons, games, etc

Has anyone ever tried linkbaiting?

Currently, the SE's are unable to detect a Paid link's footprint. But, eventually, they will. And, there will be no penalty. It's just that the SE's will not count that specific link in...

Sure. Why not? For example, you could have a cartoon portraying a parady of a current event going on in your industry. Something like Google and China embracing...*bad example*. Something like...

I'm looking for ways to attract links to my website content.

Ideas:
- Cartoons.
- Original research (with authoritative sources).
- Answer a popular/repetitive question.
- Online game.

What do ya all think of Microsoft's newest search engine?

Google has a new beta site for Israel. Apparently, it was a challenge for the spider to read right to left. The beta site aggregates multiple hebrew newspapers onto one site. Just like Google News...

One quick thought is:
1) When you don't have the time.
2) Or, if they can do it better than you.

Hi cscgal,

Sounds a little scary. techtalkforums is a nice keyword (i haven't checked the numbers). Besides you have great PageRank, and I wouldn't want to mess with that. The risk sounds too...

I have 400,000 pages of content-light pages. That's because many have an image, and a very short description that is legally regulated. I want to add unique keyword-rich content to all the pages on...

Exactly. Just keep doing everything you're doing (I'm assuming your following SEO Best Practices), and you'll be in great shape.

I'm glad I could help:-)

The changes you are noticing might not be permanent. Your PageRank can go up and down in a moment. We are in the middle of a major update/infrastructure change of Google's called: BigDaddy. What...

Hi cscgal,

You are correct.
But, not all webmasters adhere to these factors affecting PageRank. If they did adhere to SEO best practices of linking strategy, then they most likely will attain...

Great reply Promediacorp!

I can confirm that PageRank is not an indication of ranking in the SERP's. I have optimized a few brand new websites that were immediately in the top 3 rankings....above...

Some factors affecting PageRank are:
-Anchor Text of a link
-Prominence of a link within a document
-Relevance between web pages
-Importance of the linking pages
-Age of linking pages
-Age of...

That used to be true. However, currently Google will and can crawl and index multiple parameters in any url. Although, if you are still concerned about the dynamic url issue, you can always use a...

This sounds like it could be caused from a few factors.
1) Possible Google sandbox
2) Too few pages indexed. (do a site:query)
3) Too few inbound links
4) A lot of competition with better...

BigDaddy is happening right now.
There are 3 main things that BigDaddy will address.
1) Canonicalizing URL’s
2) The 302 redirect hijack problem,
3) Reading flash and javascript.

Hi canadafred,

My guess is that you are using general terms, instead of highly targeted, relevant keywords. The reason cscgal's friend method is working, is because he is highlighting the...

Hi chundottu,

Rather than leave a lengthy reply defining those terms, I will tell you where to find the answer. First, Log-on to your adwords account, Click on "Conversion Tracking" within the...

Hi canadafred,
If I am understanding you correctly, you are saying you know how to do a keyword analysis, and that you want to "re-optimize" your pages for different keywords, depending on the...
