Being an authority without quality backlinks is not worth a whole lot at present in my opinion, so backlinks from credible resources will remain important... AI future or not.

What about Google Adwords content network?

Whatever you choose, make sure you can evaluate the tools/services before buying. While money back guarantees are always good, trying out the software before buying is almost a must when I purchases tools and services (of whatever kind)

If your website is rich on e.g. images, you might also want to create an image sitemap. (Same goes for video, mobile, news etc. content)

XML style information is not necessary. Style information = for humans viewing an XML document. (Not for search engine / computer algorithms reading XML data)

Worth to remember you have to create an XML sitemaps (normal, image, video etc.) You can't submit e.g. a HTML sitemap. Anyhow, like others said, start by creating an acount in Google Webmaster Tools (and Bing webmaster section as well) and follow the steps from there.

I would spread out where your incoming links come to. Go with most relevant when possible :) Having links to e.g. articles is great since they also then stand a better chance in search engine result pages.

Most likely just some old links. Even if you fixed them, Google will keep reporting them for some time.

Maybe your arabic pages are not correctly encoded (or the backend database uses a different character set than UTF-8) Have you tried using e.g. A1 Website Analyzer to see the character set your Arabic pages identify themselves as being? (Often people get this wrong compared to their underlying data.)

I will second WordPress. It is very versatile and also very easy to start using. It can even update itself etc. It has lots of high quality themes and plugins (including for marketing, social and seo) you can use.

Why don't you just check the source?

Helps speed indexing. If you can get more pages indexed it may also help ranking (since you have more pages in the search engine index that can rank for terms)

I recommend you start slowly with Adwords. But do your research first! Understand how to optimize keyword groups with relevant ads and landing pages.

I agree, do both things simultaneously... PPC can also give some insights you can use in SEO (e.g. good call-to-action phrases etc.)

Well, if all goes well, the article centers will get your article indexed at some point. If you have created variations you may get lucky that some of them will come up in search phrases... But all this probably takes some time.

Possibly you could try StumpleUpon and stumple exchanges. However, the traffic does not convert well.

Possibly if you make a great interesting youtube video that is controversial... and then have some flair for spinning the press, you may have a shot... at getting enough momentum for it to take off.

One thng to consider is that stumple traffic does not convert very well. Then again, with 14/30 k then... :)

Just use no-follow links if in doubt, be sure to tell your advertiser though. They did bring down PR of many text link sell websites... However, they won't be able to detect 100% natural text links (even if bought) ... However, if they infiltrate an ad network... then... Well, weigh …

I suggest you try check wordpress.com It is a high quality blogging platform, probably the most popular.
