Re: Best quality link building strategy

Those are absolutely the WRONG types of links to get to your web site now. They are not quality links. Especially social bookmarks, directory submissions and forum postings/forum signatures.

Re: How to earn money from adsense

Paul,

Most likely you'll need more unique content on the blog. If you only have a few posts, and those posts are light on content, then they probably won't approve your blog.

I recommend getting...

Re: SEO - Multiple States

LBTech, as long as you have physical locations in each of those States, then it would be fine.

Re: Using Sitempas to speed-up noindex page removal process?

Frabrizo, I wouldn't rely just on the sitemap. I would do several things:

- remove the files from the server, make sure it delivers a proper 404 errror (or 410 gone)
- remove the URL from the...

Re: Gained 1,000 links in last 2 months!?

Re: Yahoo paid directory worth it?

I would still go ahead and get the Yahoo Directory Listing. It's a trusted site, and a human edited directory.

I would also get Best of the Web, as well as Business.com as well.

Re: Keyword targeting & differentiation between similar keywords

jpf566, what I suggest is that you start by doing some additional keyword research. Start thinking about the semantic keywords and not just words that include "ACE".

Re: How to create a copy of a site for a different market

The design can remain the same--but ultimately it's the content, the text that must be unique. If you simply "copy" a site and use the same exact text it will be a duplicate--and you'll run into...

Re: Bad Backlinks

Michelle, Cole001 is right, there is a "disavow links" tool in Bing Webmaster Tools that you can use to tell Bing.com about the bad backlinks to your web site.

Re: Did Panda Improve Search Results?

Re: What is Google’s Real Time Search?

Google has actually shut down real time search-- it is no longer offered as an option. Just think of it as another one of google's failed products-- like google buzz.
