Top 10 quality Indicators that separate the top ranking sites from the Rest:

6 7 8 and 9. nope nope nope and nope.

 

HEHE exactly what I was thinking!

 

This is the best suggestion on this post

 

Not necessarily, yeah new content is great but I think the most important is getting people to read it in the first place. ( Nearly all the good ideas / topics are taken )

 

Wikipedia is not a social bookmarking site...it's a reference.

if one of the page of a site like main page has many backlink,does it impact on serp of other pages of site??

 

This is the worst SEO thread I've ever read.
