I agree with your post. SEO is really the most cost-effective method of advertising. You can do the job yourself without spending a single dime. All you need to have is a lot of patience and hardwork.

Many so-called SEO experts always come up with "tricks" to manipulate ranking and traffic. They should be penalized for doing this nasty socialmedia identity theft!

I must say article submission is a good source of backlinks and traffic, but kinda short-term. BLs from article submission usually disappear in Google index after a period of time.

You don't need to submit your site to Google anymore. It's not necessary for SE bots will crawl it naturally. Don't waste your time on this task. Ping your site instead.

Argh, there are many scammers out there. We just gotta beware of them! The disclaimer of that site is ridiculous!

Getting high PR 6 or more is very tough these days, but it can be done. It is a combination of writing unique contents and building quality links to the site. Quality is more important quantity in SEO. Do only ethical methods and avoid link farms.

To find high PR link partners, I often use this tool [url]www.webconfs.com/backlink-builder.php[/url]. I also participate in forums and social networking sites. :)

Social bookmarking is the fastest and easiest way to drive traffic to your site. :)

SEO is such an effective way to market products or services. It's a good online marketing strategy. Good news is, you can do it for free. All you need to have is time and a lot of patience.

Organic SEO, of course, is better than Blackhat. Unethical SEO tactics will get you banned on search engines.

You should try other sources of online income for your sites. Don't just stick with Adsense. Join other affiliate programs too. :)

Social bookmarking is really a good way to boost site traffic. But it's kinda short-term. At the end of the day, you still need to focus on building organic, quality links for your site to gain good ranking in google.

PPC is an effective method to market your site, and it's all about research and choosing the right keywords. The results are immediate. You can only be successful in this kind of campaign if you analyze your competition and select your kws carefully. :)

Amen to that! Blogging is a good way to attract readers and visitors.

Sign-ups to what? Your newsletter? Or services? You gotta exert effort in promoting your site to boost traffic. If you have the money to spend, try PPC advertising.

You're not getting that much traffic maybe because your keyword selection is not effective. You need to choose your target keywords carefully. Choose the ones that are less competitive but still with good search volume.

Post comments in Yahoo Answers. It can boost your traffic especially if your post has been flagged as the best one. Try it.

You can promote your site by submitting articles and press releases to free directories. You don't need to pay anything for it.

It really depends on the popularity of the web directories. If the directories have high PR, they can really be beneficial to your site.

[QUOTE=gumpyboy;963334]i have tried it, but i don't think it made any difference.. Does anyone knows what will make cafeine better that the current search engine.. i'm just curious..[/QUOTE] I noticed that too. Google Caffeine normally shows the same results as the current search engine, although they were in a different …

The future of SEO looks promising. It continues to evolve. I think social media optimization will continue to be a powerful tool in SEO in the future.

Looks nice! But it should have an embedding code feature so we can put the flash games in our own website.

I just tried using the tool, and I'm quite impressed. It's a good alternative to other keyword position checkers.

To analyze my competition, I rely on SEO Elite. For keyword research, I use the free Google keyword suggestion tool. When it comes to analyzing stats, Google Analytics is the best tool out there.

I agree! Ad placement really plays an important role in getting clicks. Ads should be placed strategically. I usually place them in the header and sidebar in such a way that they blend in the actual template.

Yahoo has different data centers. Submitting the site to NZ would be a very good idea.

Bing robots will crawl your site naturally. Submitting your url to Bing is not really necessary, fyi.

It's totally pointless to stuff a site with too many tags. Content and backlinks are the most important factors.

I find posting comments in Q&A sites such as Fluther very effective in generating backlinks for my sites. Choose the ones that accept dofollow sigs.

Google has started updating PR. Yesterday, I found out that my blog's PR went to PR4. I was surpised.

Each of the subpages needs to have unique content and tags. Bookmark them to popularize and promote the inner pages.

I don't usually use my blog to promote products. That would be a "hard sell." I make a more subtle way of advertising like doing a short review about the product that is informative enough.

Anchor text is the visible word on a clickable link. It is very important to SEO bec. it is a concise description of the linked webpage.

For immediate results, I suggest you opt for PPC/Adwords! If you don't want to spend a single dime, do the usual free promotion techniques like email marketing, PR submission, directory submission, etc.

Improving your ranking is not only about linkbuilding or site promotion. Onpage factors such as content, metatags, etc. are also important for a successful SEO campaign.

Very basic info, but I agree with what you posted. Keyword selection is very critical in any SEO campaign. If your target keywords are wrong, your linkbuilding campaign would be not successful.

You should start with the onpage structure of your site. What are your target keywords? How competitive are they? Then proceed to building links for your site. Do tons of forum posting, article submission, social bookmarking, etc.

Social media or networking sites can only boost TRAFFIC, they don't have a direct effect on ranking coz they're not a good source of backlinks.

I haven't done this kind of analysis. That sounds too complicated for me. I use SEO Elite to analyze my competitors. :)

Not a big fan of Alexa ranking. The traffic info it gives are totally inaccurate and misleading. Focus on getting a good SERP instead.

Add more quality contents to your site. Content is always king. Build quality links by doing forum posting, social bookmarking, article submission and exchanging links with relevant sites with high PR and traffic.

Could you please tell us why you want to merge these sites?

It is more accurate to say that SEO is fast evolving. It is not dead and will never be. New strategies are always born, but the same old principles in getting good ranking never change.

^ Yeah, that's way too hard. No webmaster will ever agree to exchange links with low PR sites.

Google updates PR constantly because it wants to determine which sites are valuable or not. And I'm not a big fan of PR. The display PR is simply a rounded off value determined from a logarithmic scale that can be easily manipulated.

Nice move. It's about time that Digg removes the shout features to stop spammers from posting irrelevant posts.

You should read Matt Butts blog. He gives the best advice on SEO. :)

Make sure you submit your site only to directories with good reputation. Most directories these days are either dead or tagged as link farms. If you want to boost your site traffic, you need to implement other methods to promote your site such as social bookmarking, networking, etc.

Install some widgets such as Mybloglog, Twitter, etc. in your Wordpress blog. Carefully choose the tags you're using. :)

Blogging is a good way to attract visitors. You can also add widgets in the blog where your readers can participate in.
