A .com domain may inspire more consumer confidence than some of the newer top level domains, but the major search engines don’t seem to be playing any favorites.

Quality matters when it comes to SERPs, and search engines seem to be measuring this metric by watching visitor and surfer behavior on sites they go to from the search results. If you want to rise in the search ranks quickly, you’ll need to catch your readers’ interest in just a few precious seconds.

Are Pligg sites good for SEO? Well, a few of them are if they meet some of the listed conditions. Most of them aren’t, and there’s quite a few reasons why most won’t be very useful to a webmaster.

Some popular social bookmarking websites like Reddit may offer the best clue to the future of search engine optimization and SEO techniques. What is it all ultimately about? Content that the users want to see!

Too much SEO? Its possible, even with totally white-hat methods. If you want to rank high on the search engines these days, content needs to be the top priority. Here’s how I lost thirty spots on a few pages (I think)

All financial investors know to diversify their assets, so shouldn’t website builders and SEO professionals do the same?

Does Pagerank really matter? Is it important to obsess over this one little detail when there are so many different ways to judge the value of a website? Well, the one extra bit of data probably helps, but it shouldn’t be your only goal - nor should you waste time waiting for the update to get published. There’s still other work to be done in the meantime!

Patience is a virtue, and radical fluctuations in the search engine positions is something you’ll just have to get used to until your website is firmly established as an authority in the field. Don’t worry though, what goes down often comes back up…

Need Traffic? Then you’re going to need new content and new links. How else will the search engines know your website is still alive?

New content may get a huge boost in the search engines, but this crush never lasts long before the reality of establishing backlink authority comes into play and newer articles virtually fall off the map.

The first step to getting keyword specific traffic is … well, to figure out what they keyword is going to be and write something interesting about it. (Pictures and videos are great too, but some written content will have to be considered in any good on-site optimization strategy for SEO)

My original SEO plan for WebsiteBuilding.biz - How I brought in traffic as a virtually brand-new website.

What does “nofollow” mean? How can it affect your backlinks and your website? Learn a bit about the relation/attribute here.

Even small algorithm changes at Google can make a big difference in how surfers as a whole experience the internet. Don’t get too caught up in the latest trends, make sure you’re building a website presence and marketing plan that will survive the storms that are certain to come.

Whats the ultimate secret to SEO? Well, as much as backlinks, anchor text, and on-page optimization may help - nothing beats quality content. Quality content builds its own links, and there’s nothing Google loves more than to get its hands on something new to figure out where it belongs.

Backlinks - quality does matter a lot more than quantity. How I learned to stop worrying about the exact link number and came to focus on finding the right links. Now that I only seek out good links, I can go back to worrying about the total number.

Hey, sometimes traffic is good. Sometimes its not. When things slow down, you should definitely be on the lookout for anything that’s recently changed, but its not the time to start panicking either.

Yeah, I’m talking to you bots that drop about five dozen links in a post that only says “Thanks! Good job!” Spam isn’t just annoying, it could get you in trouble with search engines and your SEO plans.

More than I expected, and my first hint that my link building efforts were on the right track. Its usually a good sign when your second website grows in pagerank quicker than the first. Nowadays I think PR2 in four months is a dreadfully long time to wait.

Remember the tortoise and the hare? Well, the internet marketing and SEO game isn’t a sprint, its a marathon. Slow and steady is the sign of organic growth that the search engines are going to want to see to know that your site is legit. Don’t burn up or fade away, stick to the path and push at the rate you can sustain!
