How important is Page Rank from your backlink pages? 5th September 2011 1:51 PM

“If that's the case then, is this site only really beneficial to those who work in SEO? Or am I just being thick?”

I wouldn't worry about PR. The only people who tend to be obsessed with Pagerank are SEO companies and online marketeers, me included. Only thing that matters is ranking well for your chosen keywords in Googles Index, currently this is done with good content, on page SEO and decent relevant inbound links, but no doubt the Plus 1 will soon start to play a big part.

Better to be top of Page 1 with no Page Rank than on Page 4 with a great PageRank

Best Social Media Submission Site??? 5th September 2011 1:32 PM

“For me there were three:

1.Facebook
2.LinkedIn
3.Google Plus

”

Interesting to see the first mention of Google Plus...

Not sure if I'd see it as one of the best Social sites yet, no doubt it will grow rapidly once the beta phase ends...then I suppose it will become part of the standard social landscape.

But if people are getting results already, then fair enough

A Google Question about sitelinks. 26th August 2011 3:40 PM

Must admit, I honestly have no idea how it works. Just woke up one day and they were there. Haven't done anything, and to be honest they can be a pain and used to block some of the ones which seemed irrelevant, although they do seem to getting better.

Doesn't really help, but maybe it's a waiting game?

One of the members here recently had a van done which certainly stands out:
