@wikiads I really doubt about directory submissions I think these techniques are outdated. I don't think there's any use of it other than Yahoo and DMoz directories, I do remeber the time when we are hit by Google Penalty they specifically points directory submission sites out by tell there are unnatural links pointing to your site like the ones... and that links were comming from directories. So, at that time what we have done is taking them out by contacting them and using the Disavow tool. That give me a feel that nope it really isn't helpful at all.

Well, that's weird you can't find anything over Google really "Infographics in SEO"

@PixelatedKarma now that's not at all friendly I must say ! You seemed to be .. anyway I guess I am going to give my though a try and to some extent I would agree with you but I would still stick to my point that its doesn't affects directly. I would rather look forward over here for some administrative replies like if @dani or @happygeek speak out about it !

I would say the best way to gain legimitate backlinks is with the help of Forums, Press Release and you can also look forward with guest post but beware that you are not doing that for your promotion only rather than sometimes its good to give something back to community.

Well, if windows is compared with iOS then I would definately vote iOS, its way more better than Windows.

Well, I wouldn't know much about an app made for this I guess most of the time I use to sort this problem out just by using Google.

@pixelated karma I have tried talking with a number of webmasters about it they all seemed to agree that it doesn't affects directly, until or unless the whole page is created in bad manner. So, still my answer stands it doesn't effect directly and I don't think Google has written anything that proves the point that w3c validation will.

No, it doesn't effects ranking directly.You need to understand that cleaning your code makes your site render better in browsers, it also makes your page accessible to the people over their portable devices and other which do plays an important role in improving the populartiy and so on.

Yes there are some Google Adwords certification test I would say you can head over to the Google adwords certification support page for more information https://support.google.com/partners/answer/3153810?hl=en

@Wikiads I would say you are incorrect with the concept of the No-follow links they are crawled by search engines but the difference is no follow link doesn't pass the link juice i.e. the SEO benefits to the other pages which its linked to, but dofollow links pass the link juice i.e SEO benefits to other pages.

Well, I guess that was an old news I already know about it from last 6 months or you maybe talking something else.

Well, there are some bots like addmefast...etc which can be used to increase likes over your FB page...etc So, if you just want likes then you can use the addmefast tool, but also note those likes are just fake like and you will see them decreasing after a while.

Well, I would just say for promoting an ecommerce website better would be target all the social media sources rather than targetting search engine, what makes me saying this because when people are on social media sites they are at their comfort zone means if we throw them some super deal I am sure they can't resist themselves without having a look at it. So best is to go social, use the power of hashtags.

@Deepanshu_1 Can you let me know more about EMD I don't know what actually EMD is, I have tried Googling a little but I am still confused with it. Can you let me know what actually it is ?

@OTS can you tell us actually what type of submissions you are talking about? Are you talking about directory submissions or Article Posting or maybe something else ???

Yes, yes I have heard about the update it's a filter designed toprevent sites with copyright infringement reports from ranking well over the Google’s listings. You can head over to Search Engine Land for more depth information.

@seoexpert844 No you are getting me wrong I am not asking you about DMCA denfination instead of it what I am more concerend about knowing is the @OP has spoken that "Google has updated his dmca algorithm last week." I've tried searching for such algorithm over Search engine but I can't find anything about it. So, if you can throw more light over it then that would be helpful enough for me.

Well, I don't think that future with Article hosting company is that much bright because I am sure you must be aware the Google has came out and said "Article posting inorder to build links" is going to hurt your rankings as an effect most of the SEO people have stopped doing that which means you wouldn't see bulk of people coming down over you and post article, there are reports from several article directories about the sharp decrease in their traffic structure means you can't expect much ! This also makes me say that no article posting isn't going to help you in increasing traffic over to your site rather than it will hurt you down if your motto is just to get backlinks and traffic.

Well, haven't heard that actually ! Do you have some references that to let me know about it because I have gone through search engine land post and can't find about it or may be I have missed it. So, if possible can you come out with references.

Hello and welcome, how can we help you out ?

You need to replace the LCD screen of your device it looks like that the problem is somewhere with the strip connecting the LCD with the motherboard.

Image posting means you post images over some third party site to share information and let others know that this information was created by you ! It's more like a document which is filled of information but it has a water mark that this information is created by you, so in this way the person whole reads that documents know that this information is shared by you ! I don't think image post helps that much in getting traffic but as I've always said that you can't hold yourself over to just a single trick to get traffic, so betting over it's something you can expect traffice from but I don't think that it's going to create a vast impact because usually people are intrested in getting knowledge they just don't care about the source of information.

Well, to some extent I would agree because content is always the king but what keep hitting me is, if content is always the king then what is the reason Google put concept of secured pages ??

No worries at all @Linda, just let us know when you need any kind of help ! We are here to help you out ! You to have a terrific day !

@Glen I guess you should have a look over the post shared over searchengineland I guess that's enough to tell you that by the time Iw as talking about it, things are updating over Google's algorithm.

@Glenn yes you are correct its for user as well as website security purpose, its employes at the sites that stores users information, so I would say if you have a site which is only providing the information then there's no need to install SSL.

Well @Linda you can try getting traffic from Social Media, forums,Q/A sites etc... other than search engines they do sometimes offers quality traffic.

Well, I would just say inorder to get backlinks you need to build backlinks from edu or gov sites like you can start with sba.gov etc... try googling I am sure you will find a number of them available.

@rseotech there isn't nothing much when it come to youbtube video optimisation I would just say keep yourself up only with the youtube description and tags I guess thats it no need to push yourself more because if your video is going viral means there isn't any need to push it more.

The best way I think you can do to promote is holding yourself onto the power of social media, by mixing it up with some freebies and of course some content to, if you make a mixture of then you are going to get a solution which is enough to attract users around.

Well, if I talk in terms of getting traffic both nofollow and dofollow links are helpful in getting traffic, and if I talk more about traffic then you could get traffic just from anywhere.

There it goes again I don't know where I was discussing this but I am correct now Google has rolled out the next version of pengium update last weekend! Head over to the post shared over the http://searchengineland.com/google-releases-first-penguin-update-year-206169 . So did anyone noticed any change over their website .. ???

@Shapna.patel.5 So you must be employing this tricks over your site, I am sure you must be going good but here I would say try to listen what @OP is asking rather than writing on your own !

Are you trying to spam down your post with comments?? I don't think that any PR update has been seen because if it has then you must be getting updates over the MOZ and several sites like search engine land etc... I don't think it has been updated, none of my page has shown change over the page rank.

Well, that's a long list of questions you have been made for answering so I am going to answer your question the same order you have asked !

1. What techniques we need to follow these days to promote our website? - In order to promote your website I would advise you to target yourself over the various social media network as they are quite good and great source of traffic.

2. I have websites related to entertainment? - Like, I said above social media platform will be the great platform for you to make your presence.

3. Does directories still rule the seo??? - I couldn't say exactly because this is a question which has been discussed over this forum from a quite while and I still haven't got onto any conclusion but if I talk about the Google SEO world then, they have clearly said its dead only yahoo and Dmoz directory submission is good to go forward with. So, do I think I would not adivse you to move ahead with directories other than yahoo and DMOZ directories.

4. What about Bookmarking?? - should i do it for inner pages/posts or the main URL??? - Social bookmarking is another great idea and I guess bookmarking for in pages/post or the main URL only, depends upon you could move forward with the one you like!

Well, @whlookup I would say there isn't any use of purchased traffic it's just useless I would say if you want to waste your $ better would be to use Google Adwords to drive traffice you could get some quality traffic out of it but heading over to other's is just a waste of time nothing else.

Well, no its doesn't works the way like that yes keyword ranking decrease after the updates but sometimes it'd only because of the Google dance as after the algorithm updates refreshing is takes place which means change in keyword ranking but there are also some other cases where the change in position is observed and that's only if you've been using black hat tricks to get yourself over the top !!

Well, I would say over here next generation of pengium 3.0 update will be shown up at any day, and this time I am pretty much sure people doing worng things are going to be punished more strictly anyway keep you fingers croseed.

Well, can't exactly but I guess yes sites having SSL installed will be going to get more ranking boost rather than other's !

Future of SEO, What you want to hear about the future ? I would say its as bright as it was no need worry about it much.

Well, did you just said free ... :D I don't think anything available over the web for free works that much great like the paid ones do, I use ahrefs tool to check my backlinks but I would still give weight to Google Webmaster tool where you can download all your backlinks and look them one by one at a time !

Well, nope there are no shorcuts you need to take the long way i.e starting working over the link removal process. If you've been hit by the pengium penatly I am sure you may have recived some messages over manual action page over the Google Webmaster Tool. So, I'd say better to have a look at it, Why I am saying this is because we have suffered from the same and after fighting it for more than a year we managed to get our penatly revoked.

Well, easily I don't think that there is anyway to do that easily. I would just say be continous with all the white hat legimate work you are doing and take all your focus out of the PR, and by the time next PR update occurs (which no one exactly knows) you will see your PR has increased.

Well @Sanjeev Sunweb I don't know about any rules with directory submission can you explain it a bit more, so I can get a clear idea about the rules you are talking about. I wonder what may be the rules while moving forward with the directory submission.

well @ashleydaniel there are a number of tools available over the web which can help you with it, you can try using ahrefs tool it gives a better insight of your competitor backlinks. I am using the same to analayse competitors backlinks so you can try it out !

Well, that's okay you can publish it over the store, make sure you have the .apk file. Make sure you follow the checklist provided by the Google do have your eyes over the check list, https://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/launch-checklist.html once done log yourself over the Google Play Developers account. Submit you application over the developer account if everything goes correctly you application will be live over the Google Store.

Well, @pixelatedkarma this has started given me a shock I think I need to think again about the web directories !

Well, backlinks is not something which you can get immediatly, it take time to be created (until or unless you are not using tools) because there are forums which doesn't allows you putting your link over their forum in just a day. I can see you are looking for bulk links but tell you what instead of looking for bulk of link try focusing where can you get quality backlinks which can pass you the link juice.

Well, like @Pixelatedkarma said Google is your best friend you can always use it to search forums, and what better for you would be is try to learn what your competitors are doing and the best way to do that would be sneaking onto your competitors backlinks look where you competitors is building its backlink from and I am sure you can also extract handful of good travel forums.

Well, load testing tools there are just a number of them avialable as I have tried googling over the web and see what I got was actually a loads of then, anyway I am going to mention some of the load testing tools which I think are the best you can use Apache, Jmeter, LoadRunner, WebLoad, LoadUI, LoadStorm Cloudstrees.
