Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes Jungles its a very important part & i consider that very much...  But if some sites don't have much social media and have other things good then we can get a link from there & that would also be the worthy...

Hi

In addition of David & Paul i would like to say is try to get the links from Unique Content. I follow this factors to get any links :

1. PR - min PR2
2. DA - min 30 DA
3. OBL - Less than 10 - 15
4. IF sites have more no. of dofollow blogroll links, footer links, link exchange page, etc then i will not consider that.
5. Backlink Profile - Is the backlink profile are good or not, because nowadays most of SEO's are purchasing old domain with good PR so we need to check whether backlink profile are relevant or not..
6. Social Media Profile (not mandatory)
7. Unique C Class IP
8. One link from one website.. If the website are highly authoritative then more links from same website is good.

Hope this will helps...

Hi Pedro,

Please go through Google link scheme guidelines:

http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356

In above guidelines they have clearly mention that "Links from low quality directory sites is unnatural".

So its better to stay away from reciprocal directory sites.

Hope this help you out....

Google uses many signals to show title in SERP like social signals, title used in directories, backlink profile of that page etc.

I think this is only an authoritative resource for this topic:  http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624

Hi

Are you sure your old title is showing in SERP or its showing different title ?

Ans :

"Google's generation of page titles and descriptions (or "snippets") is completely automated and takes into account both the content of a page as well as references to it that appear on the web. The goal of the snippet and title is to best represent and describe each result and explain how it relates to the user's query."

Above given statement are from Google Webmaster Help.. Please read for more info : http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624

Yeah Dorm i agree with you and your boss.. Yes you can move ahead with 3 - 4 lines(helpful for users) of unique content so that they can click on "more" for more valuable info..

Google will see the whole content because its opening in the same page(Ajax) & if you see the source code then you will find the whole content in the html code.. Google reads the html file so google can read it. For google its perfect so if you are using the content for google then its fine but if you are using the content for end users then i dont think so its good because 1st 2 lines are not so attractive but if you give helpful info in 1st para with 4 - 5 lines and then you give "more" option then i think its good as per end user's view...

Hi Dorm

I agree with Jungles & askshopper. As you know Content is the King in SEO..

If the Unique Content (incl KW's with bold/strong tag) is above the product then google will 1st see that part and then your products. Products are most likely a duplicate content (Product Title, Product Desc, etc). Google loves unique content so if Google see unique content 1st which are helpful to users then google loves it..

If i am not wrong google see the page in this way : Title, Description, H1, H2 and then starts with the 1st paragraph(very imp) of the page. If you target the keyword in 1st para of the page then it will really helps. Also, if the content is below product then google will see that lastly which might not get more priority in google's eye logically. Normally google works as an user, if we are an end user then 1st we start with the 1st para and if we like 1st para then we continuously go ahead otherwise we stop there. Same with google, if 1st para is unique & very helpful to end user then google loves it....

Please let me know your views.

Hi Danny

As per my experience there is no disadvantages of using 1 or 2 hyphen in Keyword Rich Domain Name.

Here is a very nice discussion on **Hyphens in Domain Name : **http://www.seomoz.org/q/hyphens-in-domain-name

Article submission is not giving much link juice but yes its not a bad way. Its indeed a good way but make sure you submit unique article to each site.. If you submit one article to more than one website then it will harm your website, also dont spun the article... Also use best sites only.

Below are some good article submission list :

1    http://www.newsvine.com
2    http://ezinearticles.com
3    http://www.articlesbase.com
4    http://www.articlealley.com
5    http://www.articlesnatch.com
