I do love reading through these older posts, so much has changed with ‘search’ (SEO) over the years but somethings never change..

After months of link building for one of my sites, I am starting to reap the rewards of the hard work. Having backlinks and live visitor traffic to your site are very important and I am beginning to think other elements such as titles, headings and URL composition are less important (still important but perhaps less weight in the grand scheme of the Google algorithm).

Great tips – this is one of my real bugbears as an SEO. Working with sites that have been developed by software developers in denial about the usability and SEOabilty of URLs containing database calls!
Thanks for sharing – I hope some of those guys read this!

Some great tips here. I didn’t know about StumbleUpon not accepting special characters in the links.

I will have to watch out because the pathauto for Drupal adds these types of characters into the URL when the characters exist in the Title’s of posts.

Another thing, or SEO suicide should I say, is redirects. This is often overlooked and may result in lower SERPs. Whether it is an SSL site or not, I’d say do it the old school way and set your website using the full address which also includes the http.

I totally agree about Joomla & Mambo links. They do suck.

I found this article while researching for a client and couldn’t agree more with the tips. I always try to get keyword rich domain names AND get the company name too! Works a treat for me.

Just stumbled across this article whilst doing some research for a client – nice one!! I’m gonna recommend it as prime reading for many of my other clients now!!

As an SEO for a new(ish) UK SEO Company one of the first things I aim for is the title/keyword in the domain … I love the comments in Joomla & Mambo – I’m with you all the way !!
