At one time, we were told by Google that inbound links couldn't harm a site. Then it became 'almost impossible'. Then, their statement has been modified to say 'we do all we can to ensure that they...

I have to say, I'm a little surprised at all the recommendations for Dreamweaver. At least a couple of you said you don't use the design mode. I did... once... it's a mistake I'll never repeat. Left...

If done properly and carefully, I agree, Nitro. However, Penguin seems to be heavily focused on excessive anchor text usage (and repetitive use of the same anchor text). In all our testing, we have...

I have to agree with Rob. Forum signatures are next to worthless, from a Pagerank standpoint. By the time any juice on a page is divvied up between all the outbound links on a forum page, there's...

There are several factors that enter into that, according to Google spokesperson, Matt Cutts.

1. Part of it is relevancy to the search query, of course... it seems likely that that's the biggest...

Welcome to Net Builders, Kian.

And it's going to get worse, bogart. I heard today from a very reliable source, that they are already manually reviewing sites singled out by a new algo, which is targeting things like testimonials...

In that environment, the only thing an apology accomplishes, deserved or not, is to bolster the perceived power of the guy that receives it.

Must be nice to be able to perceive your leader is...

The Australian version looks very similar in configuration to a Wankel rotary engine, such as Mazda ran in their early years. It's also similar to the pneumatic motors found in many air tools. As the...

I prefer Firefox, although I must admit that Chrome has improved somewhat. I use a number of different tools for which I have FF add-ons, however. So when I'm working, FF is my choice.

Not true, dawg. I do know the blog, although only briefly. When I saw your offer, I visited, because I thought I might be interested in taking you up on it. I just am leery right now of doing...

Agreed. There is an amazing amount of ignorance surrounding social media, amongst otherwise intelligent and educated individuals. Do we need a separate court system in order to be able to deal...

I don't necessarily agree that it's "good for any website to be in it", dawg. That would require assuming that we "know" that the algorithms can and will make the distinction that the linking blog is...

Assuming you vary your anchor text so that your link profile appears to be comprised of naturally occurring links (rather than bought/contrived), then that sounds good, as far as it goes. However, if...

And even that is a relative slap on the wrist, for them.

I've heard others say the same, bogart. A lot of SEOs are saying that Google seems to have been analyzing much more on a page by page basis, again, where last year they seemed to be taking a...

All the recent changes have everyone in the SEO world in an uproar. Within hours of the detection of a new algorithm release, we're bombarded with posts promising "7 Ways to Recover..." or "How to...

TopDogger, if I understand your OP correctly, and you're interested in content quality, I'd recommend you take a look at a plugin called InboundWriter by EightFold Logic . There's a free version, so...

Not necessarily, garfish, although it's a possibility. Here's a really great read on Penguin, along with some recommendations for avoiding getting crosswise of it: Penguin Analysis: SEO Isn't Dead,...

Dang! That doesn't sound like any kinda fun I care to have!

I hope they give you a clean bill of health.

Since Panda hit, and several article mills either shut down or seriously cut back both quantity and pay scale, we saw a flood of writers hit the bricks, looking for work. Some were work-at-home-moms,...

Cry me a river, bud. I've got two g'kids in college, and one graduating HS this year, and another next year. The last one's gonna be a HS freshman next year.
Where the hell did the years go?:(

Thanks, Loko! Ya'll need to tighten security around here, though. I figured things were kinda loose when ya let ME in... but now I see Iowadawg's here, too! ;)

After signing up here over two years ago, I figured it was high time I drop back by and make a decent effort at being an active member. I see a number of names I know from elsewhere, and I look...

Growing up is highly over-rated, bud. I gave passin' thought to tryin' it once, but just couldn't seem to get my head wrapped around it.

Maybe the next time around. :cool:

Hey, Kovich!

Thought I'd pop in and let you know that this thread did get me off dead center a couple of years ago. I still don't monetize my sites, but I did decide to stop being just a blogger...

Some great stuff in that series, Kovich! I think I could spend a few hours browsing around in there, learning some new tricks, and relearning some others.
