Do you think google counts its own pages in its pagerank calculations? SharkSEO had another tip for a link from google. But I’m sure I remember reading some throw away comment that google ignores links on its own domain. I can’t find it again, and I can’t remember whether it was a blanket ban or robots.txt driven or ….

Content is king? Useful content is king for humans, Google prefers links from trusted websites to your content.

Each page needs to be crafted (titles, content) around a few keyterms.

Just adding content and not getting links pointing to your site with the keywords in them won’t improve your positioning for a competitive term.

I want to firstly blow the wind up you and say, you have some great information on here and, you are very in depth with your research – which tells me you are doing things right.

In my opinion, when anyone is selecting a company to look at their business, it’s more than favorable to see “WIP” within the business, and how they actually do look at different ways and methods to see just how “G” reacts, even the simple stuff!

Well, it wouldn’t be normal after that much wind, not to ask a question of you and see/hear your thoughts:

“We have personally been taken for a serious ride with our seo – and have now reached the 6 months of being live and have no pages ranking on page one, well, apart from the ones that we created and have been bookmarking!”

My question is this: If for example, we were given a list of words and phrases that were going to be exploited by the seo team, would it not be predent to say that you need to have those words or phrases at least once on a page for “G” to take any interest?”

Our site has now reached 190+ pages and is growing daily (original site count was 30 on day one) but, all the terms and expressions we were told would be the low hanging fruit, are still only on Page3,4,5 and 6 in some cases….

Back to the same thing IMO – content is king??

Look forward to coming back and reading some more, and who knows, you may even get some business out of it! Oh, and before I close, I didn’t create a link back, but should you wish to take a sniff, then feel free to contact me.
