My goal is a first/second google page listing under the competitive keyword phrase 'cell phones'. I've developed a little over 300 backlinks over the last two months (not high pr sites, but about 150 unique ip blocks and websites that I have traded services for links with). I have the …

Search engines sometimes penalize or ban sites for manipulative SEO techniques. What are the most common techniques that SE's hate? How far will a SE go when penalizing a site? If the tactic is stopped, can sites get back in?

I know SEO companies can bring up searches performed by yahoo.com, etc. and see how many people are searching a particular term or phrase. How is this done? It would really help me sell websites. Thanks.

hmm, seems we've had a backlink update today. At least my sites have more showing. It does seem rather dated though, I know I have more indexed backlinks than they are showing. Maybe they only show backlinks that have been on a site for an extended period of time? Chris

For those interested there's been another BL update by Google. And no, there's been no PR update for all the PR junkies out there.

If Page A has multiple links to Page B, does that show any more weight than a single link? Is Page A's PR spread thinner to every page it links to? Does Page B receive any more PR than it would have with only one link? Thanks!

Interestingly enough, the need for mod_rewrite, html extentions, and PR are all becoming devalued in all the newer SE algorythms. 6 months ago a PR 7 would get you super high rankings because PR was so heavily factord into rankings. Up until a few months ago having clean URLs was …

SEO-Guy is doing a great job getting links to DaniWeb out there. My question now is how long before Google acknowledges this? Usually my PR fluctuates near the 1st of the month. Do I have to wait until July before I receive any benefit?
