PageRank Sculpting – A few SEOs taught a couple of years ago that you could increase your link popularity to your best pages by adding a nofollow attribute to links pointing to your terms of service and privacy policy pages. It doesn’t. Don’t count on it, especially if your website has only 10 pages.

Bloggers who are compensated can use the “nofollow&# tag within their outbound links to keep those links from being tagged by Google as paid content. The nofollow may well make that harder, but then again, if you are under contract I think it’s the buyer’s responsibility to track the postings of the paid blogger.

This not only creates impact, but also allows editors to simply snip off the bottom paragraph of a story if they need space for other articles. As the final paragraph is the least important, their editing does not affect the article too much. The job of your headline is simply to get people to read the first sentence of your post.

If the homepage of the site was simply an article that covered a lot of things about viral marketing, do you think I would be able to rank as easily? What does change is that everytime I publish an article relating to one of these things, I put it under that category and that page instantly has more information. This is gold.

Feed Pauser halts the syndication of a new blog post for up to 20 minutes to let me ensure there are no typos and that the published appearance is how it was intended.
