Improve your search engine rankings

nice thread, very useful

another thing you should mention, is to think about traffic instead of PR
before adding any link to your site, weather it's a backlinck or reciprocal,
you should ask yourself: if there weren't any search engines, will this link
still be worth anything?
or in other words, how many useful traffic this link can manufacture for your site

 

thanx for your info. but its very commen information about seo i think everyone know this

 

very helpful

 

I prefer to stick with Google for that, I don`t just check for backlinks, but also their website name and a few keywords added to that. I want to find the sites which provide the most important and therefor strongest links.

 

I look at the meta info on competitors as well, but actually, I like using yahoo to check for back links.. I'll compare them to google, but I start with yahoo.

 

Good morning. I am new to this site and internet marketing in general. The OP suggested looking at a site similar to mine and clicking on view, source to see what keywords and tags they are using. When I do this nothing comes up. Any suggestions?

 

This is impossible, unless they don't have any meta info which would be stupid.
Maybe you can link to a site and we'll let you know the info to look for.

cheers
