Yes, I have seen the main keyword get boosted in the SERPs when other h* tags are removed. I have seen this on multiple sites. This is not a rare technique and other SEOs do it too. No doubt your page also can get ranked using the normal h-

h1 is an indicator to the search engine that you consider that blurb/content to be the most important on the page. So the h1 should be optimized for the keywords you are trying to rank for. Also, if you have a bunch of h1 tags on a single p

This is an often-heard argument: "Amazon (or other large company) are doing it and it works just fine for them." But you are not Amazon. Your listings may be competing against Amazon's listings, without the brand recognition, trust and back

This is nice. I used it to discover that instantna.me is still available. You should pick it up! :-)

According to the Google Adwords tool, "stack overflow" is googled 74,000 times each month. Not to mention all the permutations. If I worked for Stack Overflow, I would also try to optimize for more general terms. The questions and answers a

Certainly the individual questions and answers should rank highly. They do a somewhat better job at SEO on those pages, although there still is no meta description tag, leaving Google to guess what to put on the search results page. They co

Everyone seems to be focusing on the .gov site but if you take a look at the Stack Overflow home page, the page that would normally get indexed highly, there is very little telling Google what it is. There is no <meta name="description"

If you aren't familiar with Bob Lefsetz, he used to be with Rhino Records. He started an email newsletter which now gets read by most of the music industry, and lots of others. His writing style is off-the-cuff. He often berates music veter

Sorry about the pay-wall link. Hard to tell which link I had. The free one was shared by shard below. Maybe the mods can fix the link in the original.

Anything in an orange box is an infringement of the YCombinator mark? The Aptiverse logo doesn't have a white outline and is a different font, not to mention a completely different letter. There is certainly no confusion for me.

This is an excellent book. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Black magic doesn't work as well as it used to. Most SEO consultants nowadays preach the same things Google does: basic usability, relevant content, optimizing for particular keywords, making it easy for search engines to index your content

This article pretty much sums up my response to this whole mess. The person responsible for PR at Tesla must be tearing their hair out. Potential customers might take a look at this exchange and wonder if Tesla will treat them the same way

That is kind of how the music business worked back then. Less so now, but it is certainly still a part of the entertainment biz. So give Sivers credit for recognizing that and acting, both out of goodwill and self-interest. He demonstrated

Something as simple as providing clean water can make a huge difference to life expectancy and quality of life. Another big need is sewer systems and toilets. So often we get caught up in trying to solve the problems we perceive in the Firs

It is pretty common for any news organization to embargo scoops to maximize their impact. They might schedule additional, related stories or or a special ad/launch campaign. These things take time and the newspaper will often work with the

Well, this was a major theme in the book - how you can never go back to innocence and pretend all the bad stuff didn't happen. But in Hollywood everything is happily-ever-after and we never have to learn from our mistakes.

While the Jackson films may be entertaining and good in their own right, they aren't very loyal to Tolkien's source material, or even their own canon, as someone else has pointed out. For a Tolkien fanatic like myself, they are almost unwat

Like many, I was disappointed the first time I read The Silmarillion. But later, I read it with the guidance of an english professor who brought The Silmarillion alive for me and in doing so made me appreciate The Lord of the Rings so much

The economy is not a zero-sum game. If we concentrate on getting the economy to grow, most of these problems (the deficit, federal spending and revenue) are easier to solve. But our government (both sides of the aisle) seem to do everything

The cascade is very useful. In real-world situations, where I usually don't have the luxury of building a new website from scratch, the cascade has allowed me to implement changes and improvements the original creators never imagined. Maybe

Putting keywords in meta tags hasn't helped your site rank in Google for many years. Because so many sites abused it, they no longer use it in their algorithm. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/keywords-meta-tag-in-web-searc...

This is $1 less than it takes to sponsor a child for one month through Compassion International (an organization that supports 1.2 million children in the most poverty-stricken areas of the world). Would the money be better spent sponsoring
