I am a beginner to SEO i have the following questions. 1. i have been optimizing a website ex= H1 tags, Bold Text, Key word Density, Key word Proximity, Meta Description and Keywords tags and many more, from a google website perspective as it is very famous. By doing so am i also optimizing for the other 3 major search engines yahoo, msn, ask.com websites. or do i need to do something else other than having an individual xml based sitemap for these 3 websites. 2. after searching for a keyword if my website appears in the second or third page its easy to navigate to the 2nd or 3rd page however if my website appears in the 10th or 15th page is there a way i can find out the exact page number from the search results or is there any other method. 3. in order to implement google analytics the javascript code that is generated needs to be copied to the web pages of a website, do i need to copy paste the javascript code into all the webpages in my website assuming i have 50 pages or do i need to copy only for index.html 4. there is a way to find out how links a website has by typing link: www.website.com similar to such tips can anyone provide a link where i can get access to such useful information with regards to SEO and SEM for a website. please advice. thanks.

In answer to your point 2 and 3: 2.You may use tools such as IBP to check if your site comes in top 10 pages 3.You should only copy & paste the code to the pages you want them to be analysed.

SEO is not common sense to some, I suggest if you want to learn, read some E-books on it. SEO does cost money, so dont let anyone tell you it's cheap and easy.
