Thanks Jay. I just reread the older thread and the questions was indeed, asked and answered. Funny how whenever someone talks about traffic or rank and mention linking as the key they find out...

Can Yahoo be far behind?

As this seems to be a way for Google to keep track of what you are doing one has to wonder if the Chrome browser is some how part of this and what that is relaying back to...

Regarding banner pop-ups, as I view them as one of the most annoying trends in e-marketing I avoid them. For e-mail marketing, if you are looking for a DIY option you cannot go wrong with Constant...

Nice catch. Thanks for sharing. This is the type of information we need more of on the forum as opposed to people hyping their service under the guise of offering advice and expertise.

If you are talking about social media I would use Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon to start. I would also consider going on to Linkedin (join if you have not already) and find groups that would be...

Thanks one and all as your insights have proved very valuable. I am going to mark this thread solved but if anyone else has additional knowledge they would like to share on the subject please do.

Based on many of the other threads started by and comments made by the original poster it is clear that all they are trying to do is drum up business for themselves. What is sad is that the original...

It strikes me as somewhat dishonest and deceptive if you were to create a signature on a forum unrelated to your website in the hopes of getting more traffic to your site? Is this what you are...

I was curious to see what the bulk of the posts by someone who uses a screen name like BlackHatSeo would be like. After reading Fred's analysis of what you post and it seems he has nailed it right...

Have to agree with Fred on this one as I am an advocate of keyword-rich, compelling, fresh content.

While building some links to your website are beneficial in terms of the user experience (as...

While I believe there is a need for conservation in the forms of protected areas and more intelligent ways of accessing and using the natural resources available, I view the whole Global Warming...

Rogerdv, are you talking about shortened links via bit.ly and other services like that?

Fred, isn't the thought of seeing how you come off in Tagalog worth the attempt to translate? It could turn out like the Bugs Bunny Cartoon where he is stranded on the island and talks some native...

What?!?! Seriously???

First, I think you have number 2 misspelled. It is StumbleUpon. Two others are reddit.com and delicious.com. Also, joining linkedin groups and promoting your site through relevant groups can work...

As always, whether it is link building schemes, trying to overcome the google dance or anyother get higher ranking scheme, it all comes down to superior content, updated regularly to deliver the best...

As always, Professor Fred never fails to educate. Thank you sir.

since no one else will answer I will, and I will answer like on Jeopardy.
What is B?

I confess...it was me....I feel so guilty...so anyone got any topics I can post on? :D

The original poster suggests using Google to translate from Fillipino to English so that you can compete. Anyone want to bet that someone will do this, lose, and try to sue google for not...

Good points. To the original poster, if you want to learn good SEO techniques learn what is black hat SEO and avoid it at all costs.

Will one of the moderators please put this thread to rest!

Totally missed that one...Good one Fred.

In Copenhagen at the Climate summit they are using so many private planes and limos that they will leave a carbon footprint the size of a small nation. Today a political action group put out a...

While the SEO aspects of this are troubling to anyone trying to get their company the best possible position in the SEs, the privacy issue is far more troubling to me. As more people find out about...

Welcome to the forum. Reading what you all have to say, you will fit in nicely and hopefully learn from us all and add to the disucssion.

do you have a particular one you can recommend?

Beyond what Allison said, I think there is too much importance being put on linking as a whole in terms of SEO. Certain links (internal links within a site, links to sites that are relevant to the...

I think he have beaten this dead horse enough. If this thread has not influenced the Queen and her court to create a Bing sub-forum, we should just move on.

I can attest to what Fred says in regards to content vs. backlinks. I have created sites for a number of my clients and I have written keyword-rich content with minimal links (meaning, links that...

As we all agree that keywords and keyword density are important, could we not mark this thread solved?

I have to a agree with Jay on #'s 7 & 15. Could you elaborate?

As I had not heard of either of these, thanks to both of you for the enlightenment.

Looking back at the posts so far it looks like quality content and linking are the two most popular tips. Can't say that I argue with them but I would say content is the most important.

Agree with Fred. At a conference earlier this year the underlying thread of the whole day was creating a web experience for the user and not the SEs.

Me thinks the originator of this thread is fishing for business through the links at the bottom of his post.

While this is a good piece of advice it would not be prudent to start putting ones self out there as an SEO expert unless you have the track record to prove it.

Absolutely agree. I am talking about moving beyond that in terms of SEO. With wordpress apps I usually get really good results for each but I have not really used any of the SEO plugins so I was...

Have you checked with the Google Adsence customer support. You will get a definitive answer from them.

Unfortunately, short cuts such as the ones you are talking about may bear some quick results in the long run patience is a virtue.
