A heretical thought I know, but here are two interesting facts that might change your mind about No Follow Links. One - click through on no follow links can be higher. I have confirmed this through my own experiments. Two - Google likes to see a nice balance. At least according to a recent article on Google’s ever changing algorithm.
You might think this is an odd title. It was meant to be. Unfortunately, in my humble opinion, people needlessly limit the definition of search engine optimization when they build their search engine strategies. SEO should be about optimizing your marketing for search not just for your position in a search engine. 
Somewhat off guard... That’s all I can say about how I felt when someone asked me the other day, “does SEO produce quality leads?” My response was, “of course.” But then I started thinking... How do I know that SEO generates quality leads? And in the normal course of human thought I started to doubt myself, do some soul searching and then kicked up the research... And my answer after all that? Still a yes.
Does social media have a role in your search engine optimization strategy? Yes. These days no online marketing strategy is complete without social media... Sorry to all you haters out there but social media is here to stay. And for SEO practitioners, marketers and those that sell online, Social SEO can provide a big boost to your rank.
Let's face it, when it comes to SEO its all about traffic. Traffic fueled by high search engine placement for a given set of keywords. As a result, competition is steep and people are willing to do almost anything to get the top slots – not matter how ludicrous. Demand is high, supply is low.
Local search is changing the game for those looking to market locally online, particularly small businesses. Whether using local search marketing or local SEO, the resulting impact on traffic and sales - online and off is impossible to ignore. Get it right and you might corner you local market, get it wrong and you'll be left in the dust. 
If there are two questions I get over and over, they are... Should I submit my site to search engines? And, how do I submit my site to search engines? The answer to the first question is a resounding yes. The answer to the second question is a bit more complicated but certainly one we will cover, particularly how to submit your site to Google. So without further adieu, let's get started on the search engine website registration process.
The short but indecisive answer is yes and no... it depends. Yes, it depends. In some search engines, Yahoo and Ask, meta tags still hold some weight. In others, Google and MSN, experiments conducted are inconclusive but indicate that meta tags hold little or no weight. However, in no case will using meta tags hurt your rank. And in all search engines, optimizing your meta tags serves at least some function. Therefore, I would still encourage you to use meta tags – although don't make them the focal point of your SEO strategy. Because any advantage you can get in SEO is worthy taking advantage of.
