A link from one of the zillions of dumpster directories is about as useful as ... as ... I don't know. It's useless. USELESS!!! Complete waste of time and energy, waste of Internet space ...

There is much much more to search engine optimization than the putrid technique of inflated incoming links. Consider crafting important new content, stuff worthy of actually being read. Not some mish-mashy replicated puke appearing to be senseful. Writing words in a manner that indicate their importance in conveying a message …

How can you be new if you need an update? Curious as to the logic.

Get a google+ business listing, go through the branding process with your domain.

It's likely best that both versions of your landing page are on the same domain, rather than redirect one version to another domain.

huh? Any chance on elaborating on your question?

Hey! I know! You should make like a video about how good of a search engine optimizer you are. Then you can post it all over the place. Put your happy-people-pleasing-face on and let 'er rip. Oh ya ... if you mention that you've worked like crazy with links then …

Try to remember that the US government is perpetrating crimes against other countries too. Personally I'm pissed at US corporations such as Microsoft, Apple, Google .. who barder my secrets to spy agencies in an effort to save their own skin from prosecution from the US, It's all so freakin …

'ya I agree with Weddingtent. I'm also certain that the search engine is aware of many more of your links than it indicates. It is the ones that it doesn't display that should concern you the most, usually. Whenever you engage in any artificial linking scheme you run the risk …

Increasing your web pages' Google PageRank in itself will not necessarily affect where the web page ranks in the search engine results pages. As a matter of fact, under normal circumstances, Google PageRank seems to have little effect on rankings. Increasing Google PageRank through link building campaigns will definitely increase …

This is my take on this an please read the latest Google SEO guideline (The PDF version which is somewhat difficult to find). Use <h1> tags to emphasize primary keyphrases. Use <h2> tags to emphasize secondary keyphrases. Use <h3> well, you get the picture by now. Do this [B]consistently[/B] across …

Thanks for providing us a list. Indeed SEO techniques such as "Paid Links", "Cloaking" and "Sneaky Re-Directs" are generally considered Black Hat SEO techniques but the rest of them (that make some sense to me) are "Grey Hat SEO" and still very trendy. Personally, if I were you, I wouldn't …

I agree with Peter. In most normal cases, you'd likely prefer to seek the largest volume of qualified human visitors possible. They have a much greater market value than tons and tons of random Internet noise. By qualified visitor I mean one who is in fact interested in visiting your …

If your taget market is local, makes sure that the property web pages have well described descriptions in the content of the webpage and also make sure to have a complete address including city and state/province in textual form somewhere on the page. Depending on the competitiveness of your particular …

Here is a concept: consider writing something worth a read.

I don't think I've submitted a web site since 1946. People still do that?

oliversmith makes an interesting note. From my experience, increasing backlinks artificially and pursuing Google PageRank goals essentially has little effect when it comes to ranking web pages in the results pages. Web pages with a PR0 can compete with web pages having much higher higher PR values, provided they contain …

umm ... how about writing legible and interesting blog articles for other human beings to appreciate.

I suppose if that's your set due course to online success then some simple advice could be to learn how to write well in English. ciao

Link exchanges are generally grey hat SEO, automated ones are black hat.

Get a dot au domain and have the web site hosted on Australian soil.

It continues to astonish me how people can be SEO experts and yet construct sentences so poorly.

wow, people still ask about PageRank and its effect on rankings in the results pages, what an incredibly resilient illusion the search engine has cast this time, this crazy green googly goop.

Well looks like Google (the company whose corporate motto is "Do no evil") was implicated by the Snowden leak as vastly co-operating with other Internet companies and the American government to find and collect as much international private data as possible about as many foreigners as posiible. Things like telephone …

I tend to agree that social signals will increasingly factor into the results pages, particularly G+ business pages. On that note, I'm not convinced that amassing a huge following will have much as much an effect as frequency of posting. In 2012, Google+ will be the spammer's dream; copy/edit ridiculously/paste …

To me, it is quite simple. If you have a forum whereas nobody cares to join it; is probably not worth joining. Pursuing in its evolution into being just another forum that nobody cares to join, you'll need to solicit for meaningless new members continually. Happy web site promotion!

This is just an opinion based on experimentation with both hyphenated and non-hyphenated domain names. Google doesn't care whether a domain name is hyphenated or not, provided that the keywords are there. For example web-site-name.com and websitename.com will produce similar results. MSN, however, absolutely loves hyphenated domain names, at this …

You'll likely end up with a pile of jibberish. If you take the time to edit the nonsensial sentences (in an effort to make some sense of it) then likely the search engine will consider the revised paragraphs as unique content.

like animita was saying ... it's a dirty SEO trick, definitely a black hat search engine optimization technique. It mostly involves acquiring links to your competitor webpages from bad neighbourhoods in an effort to demotes your competitor's value. Bad places to acquire links include, link farms, penalized web pages, free-for-all …

PageRank? People still care about that? Wow man.

I'm very glad I'm not a search engine advertiser. Back when Overture ran their search engine ads on Google I watched on bidder keep his bid $16 a click higher than the #2 bidder, and without hesitation handed over click money for months; without any interuption or guidance from the …

You haven't come up with any pot of gold. This is quite common. I've seen google index my blog articles within 12 hours of posting them and then display new links to the same articles within 24 hours. The days of waiting, sweating and worrying about when the spider will …

PR (Google PageRank) is of no value to SEO. PR0 web pages can beat PR6 webpages vying for the same competitive keyphrase. High PR may increase "traffic" because of all the escessive linking activities surrounding most high PR ranked webpages, but it is not qualified traffic insuch that human beings …

cloaking - offering content to the search engine that is different than the content a web browser would receive indexing - having the search engine crawler follow the links from your landing page to other pages on your site caching - is the snapshot of a web page that the …

What about them? Are they related? Of course it's important to good coding. Simple code is best because it needs to clean appearing (non-trickster-like-looking). It should be unriddled of significant coding errors. It should also be as HTML 5.0 compliant as humanly possible. Intelligent coding makes the search engine think …

The usual way is to open up a Google account and apply for Adsense.

You are using Google Adwords to purchase ads not Google Adsense. If human beings are clicking your ads for the purpose of buying your product or service then 8 clicks are better than 1 doesn't matter where the traffic derives.

Blue Hat? I think the term a creation of Blue Hat SEO (an Internet marketing company). In the context they created for the term: # Blue Hat SEO = Black Hat SEO # . In general, these are the accepted hat shades of SEO. **Black Hat SEO** - disregard for …

I don't use Wordpress but think, as you want to keep real blog comments, that you'll likely don't have any other option but to sift through your comments to determine which ones are legitimate and which ones are comment spam. 10 comments shouldn't take you more that two minutes a …

**Search Engine Ads** - click-throughs generate revenues for the search engine (with little control of clicking trickeries seemingly). **Link Farms** - amasses links for a variety of revenue generating intent often through search engine ads click-throughs. **Dumpster Directories** - accepts links haphazardously for profit in one fashion or another often …

Hmmm. Sounds a bit fishy but I like to trust people first. riahc3, I kinda' feel bad nobody's been able to answer you very good questions so, being the way I am, I figured I'd come up with a couple of suggestions; that come off the top of my head; …

people need to click the ad in order to count as traffic, whether the impression was cheap or expensive. How that equates in volume of traffic depends on a few factors but size of budget is a big one.

oh man. Good facebookers' are necessarily search engine optimisers. Facebook pages are mostly intended to interact with potential customers and often lead them to a telephone number or web page. Facebook indeed can drive some targeted traffic to web pages directly, SEO in the same way drives it from the …

You are too focused on satisfying search engines rather than your Internet visitor.

Older domain names, provided they haven't been overly spammed out, have already established a certain degree of authenticity and credibility with the search engine. After a content overhaul they wouldn't normally require any probationary period to ascertain rank.
