"You buy them." 1. Can't afford to buy links right now, so thats off the table. 2. Google is actively discouraging the buying of links and does not pass PR juice from sites that it knows are link sellers. They even have a 'report link sellers' button that I've seen. So thats really off the...

"Don't take it the wrong way, but I'm guessing you're not very experienced with SEO, so it might be useful to read up on some basics first;" No offense taken - I'm trying to learn this stuff but its not easy to find useful information that's understandable and not riddled with indecipherable...

Ok, I figured out whats going on here with the hardwarehell site. The page that I analyzed was not the index page, but was a sub page (I copied and pasted without looking closely). When I analyzed the site's index page I got a lot more external results. Makes more sense now.

Seems like a catch-22 - can't get links without credibility (or PR), can't get credibility (PR) without links...

"and the weight for the number 1 site, comes from the root & internally. (don't just analyse the page that's ranking, look at the rest of the site.)" Why would internal links count for anything at all? All of your pages should be linked anyway, why would they count towards search results? All...

"Did you try googling "site:mysite.com"[remove quotes] to see if your indexed." Yes, my pages were all coming up a couple of days ago, but now nothing again. "Do you have your site map straight[beware of the auto sitemap if you have anything that shouldn't be there]?" I've got a sitemap - Its...

I did another backlink analysis on the number one result for "computer hardware upgrade" - the #1 result is "hardwarehell.com" and it has ZERO external backlinks, yet it has #1 status and a page rank of 3! I'm beginning to think there really is no method whatsoever to google's madness.

I've had the site online for over 3 years, but I've never done any optimizing, SEO, backlinking, etc, until the past few weeks. Google has never acknowledged my existence until last week when my pages started showing up in a "site:" search. Today when I checked I'm gone again. I've been using a...

I did a google search for "computer upgrade" and the top return is 'directron.com'. Admittedly, its not a highly competitive keyword with only 40,000 monthly searches. I did a link analysis using SEOElite, and googles "link:" search term and the results were rather startling. Virtually every...

I checked google a few days ago for "site:forbiddenpc.com" and I got no results. Then I checked last night and All my pages came up! Woo Hoo! I've been Indexed! BTW - I've had my site up for over two years now! But I never did any onpage optimizations until last month when I redesigned the...

I've read threads about sites getting 'indexed' and 'de-indexed' by google - my question is this: How do you know if your site has been indexed (or de-indexed)? Norm

Dumb question time: Whats DP?
