Which is important in SEO?SERP or PR? 24th May 2011 7:02 PM

“Main factor is not copying and pasting the same thing across 20 forums

As we all are familiar with SEO, blah blah blah yawn...”

Gah, my eyes! To add insult to injury, the question doesn't even make sense.

I'm confused though, there doesn't seem to be any backlink benefit in the posts I clicked on? I can only guess the threads are intended as primers for later spammers who come along and post links.

Yes, CAPTCHA is the way to do it. What is your website based on (wordpress, custom coded etc?).

TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL

Nothing from Bing. Found a thread on UKBuisness Forums on the same topic and lots of cross people complaining that they have not heard anything. Someone got this from Bing,

Does this work without effecting SEO and is it worth doing?

It depends on which meta tags. Definitely meta keywords are ignored by Google. Description meta data is useful if you want to control what Google shows in the search engine result (which is important factor in determining click through). Meta title has always been important for SEO, I haven't heard anyone suggest otherwise but maybe I missed something.

I think "Myth #3 - Meta Tags Are No Longer Relevant" is a bit of a straw man... does anyone actually think that the title and meta description aren't relevant?

Good advice thanks
