Yahoo site explorer does the job, but I'd also vote for open site explorer

Unfortunately yes...

Way of the world unfortunately, everyone wants a quick fix to easy money, and there are too many inexperienced or naive people out there, that will fall prey to the unscrupulous

"can you guarantee me top of page 1..." Oh yes, just hand over your credit card

Think it's just the name of the previous version. Sounds better than Mac Pussycat

Hmm good marketing and clever PR damage limitation from the recent major cloud outages?

Or am I just a cynic

The Periodic Table is a valuable resource.

For anyone that doesn't know what we're talking about, with permission from Search Engine Land, I've pasted a copy into our SEO education forum:

The chart below summarizes the major factors to focus on for search engine ranking success.



The Search Engine Land Guide To SEO explains factors in more depth.

Definitely! We know social search signals are getting incorporated into search algorithm's, Googles now just upped the game play.

The growth of Facebook has been incredible, but it's seemed to struggle to be recognised as a viable business platform. Sure things like venues, pubs/bars restaurants and accommodation etc are pretty easy to capitalise on, but its harder for a non leisure/tourist type business. Can you see a furniture factory or a steel fabrication factory generating masses of FB likes? They will depend on good keyword results in the search engines.

Plus 1 has the chance to supplement and improve on businesses optimisation efforts, knowing its all going to feedback to the primary source of all their traffic, Google.

Whether Plus 1 will be seen as a maturer platform for business, rather than FB we will have to wait and see...

Maybe we will stick with FB for our social lives, and use Plus 1 in our professional lives? Who knows....

Assume you are ok to have the vehicle based at home, so it's not classed as a pool car? This is the bit where I got confused before!

Going to get hammered on the emissions though, 3 Litre 4x4 So prob going to have to run some scenarios past the bean counters.

Just curious to see what everyone else did.

Okdokey, probarbly better if I move you to the find a supplier section, but to be honest, it sounds like you want more of a classifieds board, not a business forum.

It's exactly why the SEO industry has such a perceived bad name. We get countless calls like this, depending on how busy I am, depends how bothered I can be to wind them up.

If you keep baffling them with science and force them off their cue card, they normally end up with "I'll need to get a senior consultant to speak to you".. bye bye
