what do you mean for "google pages"?

there are a number of beginner SEO tips out there.

read this site though, it has great tips: http://dailyseotip.com/

I agree, this is the extension I use.

SearchStatus rocks.

dot nl sites will come up if you're in a dutch country because it's more likely to be the result you are looking for.

if I do the same search, I probably won't get any dot nl sites, or if I do,...

I would suggest stronger backlinks.

if you are commenting on sites, that's not going to get you "organic" backlinks. you want people to start linking to you naturally without you having to ask...

what evidence do you have to prove that statement?

I wrote an article explaining all of this a while back, take a look at it.

[Myth Buster] Virtual Host vs. Dedicated IPs (http://www.ginside.com/2007/1253/myth-buster-virtual-host-vs-dedicated-ips/)

In short, commenting will not help you. It may drive a few hits here and there to your site, but search engines will not consider those links as authoritative links.

Nearly all links on blogs...

A personal recommendation would be to use www.10e20.com -- they are close friends of mine that I respect. I know they do quality work. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny.

I would check out this site: http://www.topseos.com/

Some good companies listed there that you can work with.

probably just a small google shakeup, it happens from time to time. it will normally settle back down and you'll be back where you were.

one thing to note, make sure that you are returning a 200...

off-site optimization is definitely something to be concerned with.

Sometimes it's out of your control, but with whatever control you do have of it, you want to use it to your benefit.

I wouldn't take this to heart too much.

there are a lot of different opinions out there, including mine, but I wouldn't say that submitting your site everywhere is the best idea.

Hmm well first off, why did you start as an SEO executive if you don't know anything about SEO?

That aside, here are some great resources for to read.

You are better off writing quality content instead of just trying to post thousands of times.

Linkbacks from forums are highly devalued because of how easy they are to get -- and the quantity.
...

It's possible you got hit with a penalty.

Are you selling links?

Did anything change in your hosting recently?

Have you made any changes to your theme? (internal linking structure?)

An...

I think they can, yes.

But, you will need to be tricky with it.

for example, I would use different anchor text for each link and I would make sure or try to make sure that they are similar in...

Aussie, I think you're full of %!@%, PR will never be updated.. ;)

Well sure, it could help. But it's only likely to help if you have original, creative, and authoritative content. If you put up a blog and just leave it, without post, it won't help at all.

Keep...

You do realize all sig links are nofollow'ed, right? ;)

Jaimee,

There are a few methods of doing it. The best, I feel, is making friends with people and by writing quality content. You could also do it by offering a service or submitting a Press...

The fastest and most efficient way to get spidered at a more rapid rate is to get more backlinks going to your site. The more backlinks you get to your site, the more Google will think your site is...

or you could just use SiteExplorer which does it all for you,

Google will never completely filter out a whole extension unless you request it to, ie this search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=money+site%3A.net&btnG=Google+Search). That search is...

eric,

you are right, extension does not matter, if at all, but location does. hosting location is a huge part of it.

well think about it. If a website is hosted in the UK, isn't it more than likely going to a website geared towards UK residents?

likewise it's the same for the US or any other country.
...

The domain extension doesn't have nearly the amount of power has people have believed, in my opinion. If you have money.eu or money.in or money.biz, you're still going to rank high if you have the...

Something to be careful of too, is whether or not the blog uses nofollow for the links, which most blogs do. There are a few select blogs out there that don't, such as mine, but that's just one more...
