The golden rule if you want to become a good SEO is to not take Matt Cutts (or anyone at the big 3 for that matter) at face value when they say things. Test test test. Traffic (and Analytics data) absolutely has an effect on your rankings.

It's well known that traffic and SERP CTR has a significant impact on rankings. About a year ago, I wrote a post on my blog about how to write a bot in Ruby using Watir, and I submitted it here. Within 24 hours, I had gotten over 1000 uniqu

clearly you've never actually ran an advanced SEO campaign. I can rank a shitty, spun article higher than most people's great articles with those "fiddly tactics" without ever touching the article itself.

I meant top affiliate offers, generally stuff like popular weight loss products (acai and green tea were two big ones 1+ years ago), electronic cigarettes, forex, etc. go to a site like http://www.offervault.com/ and you can see the detai

they're worth it when you're doing contract web design work and your margins allow you to scale horizontally and still profit with them. Also, once you've mastered the slicing process, it gets really boring, so outsourcing it is a nice reli

For most non-unique-brand keywords that have decent traffic volume, it's challenging to rank a domain without resorting to advanced SEO techniques. If you study most of the top affiliate offer SERPs, you'll often see .info, .net, and .org d

Never do spec work. Never. Show him your portfolio and examples of solutions you have solved that are similar. Unless a contract is signed, don't do anything more than a nice proposal.

the ecig niche, unless you're going completely longtail, is very blackhat. if you're just learning seo, its not a good niche to find results with unless you pick up on advanced tactics quickly. also, a single page affiliate site will be ver

just because a link is nofollow does not mean it will not help your rankings guys. It does not mean "ignore this link please Google" it means "I don't vouch for this link Google". A nofollow link will still count towards your total link pro

I use Google to search for things my friends don't have answers for. I use Facebook to ask my friends about things they have answers for. I don't want my interests influencing my friend's searches, nor do I care about their input on 95% of

Why should they not be allowed to generate revenue from someone who is using all of their technology and network distribution work to make their own money?

Apple provides a content distribution platform connected to a network of millions of devices, of course they're going to take a cut of revenue generated on their network

true, good point. I upgraded to the beta when it came out a while back on my 13" air and I'm perfectly fine with the sizing. The new update made things even smaller/better. I run my Skype on a different Spaces section though so screen real

wait, what? Am I wrong in saying that google is not in the business of making money? They're making a damn killing off of search traffic. Duckduckgo is not. They're getting press for being defiant.

My two favorite takeaways from this blog post are: 1) You can increase your site's rankings by installing the Bing Toolbar amongst a group of people and have said group search google for your target keyword and click through on your result.

Google uses click data in their ranking algorithm. It's a fact. Pick a low volume, low competition niche, have 30+ of your friends search for the keyword and page through the results until you find a result (same for everyone), have everyon

Who the hell is in charge of the PR for these two companies to allow them to late night bitch at each other over Twitter??? These companies rake in billions per quarter and are acting like they're gonna be on TMZ tonight.

Considering they're a search engine, whose job is to crawl the internet and determine the main keywords of any random page on the internet, I would imagine they have text parsing abilities that make it possible to infer the topic of any arb
