Humor is something that is universal. It can be expressed through words, pictures, or video. And you are sure that if your blog is funny enough, you will get the attention of people all over the world and even get them to link to your blog.
This technique is perfect to bait links although I see one flaw – while humor is something that may be natural to some people, not everyone has the gift of expressing humor. I have seen so many bloggers try their hand at humor and fail miserably. There is nothing worse than trying ...

We all know that getting people to visit and keeping the attention are two different things. Most often the bigger problem is not the amount of traffic we get to our site but the high bounce rate. After all with high bounce rates the very purpose for doing SEO is defeated. In the long run I would settle for a little less traffic with higher retention rates because that means that your SEO efforts are not going to waste.
So why do people really leave your site? What can you do to lower your bounce rate?
The top reason for immediately leaving ...

In general though these sites rank pretty well because they get high quality links and are of institutes that ...

According to Bing Webmaster Center’s Rick DeJarnette some of the most common errors that can tank a site include:
An invalid mark-up code – To make sure that your mark-up code is valid use a validator such as the W3C Markup Validation Service. Of course when validating you should know which errors to look out for by asking the following questions:

There are a lot of times when it comes to RSS feeds that publishing your partial content instead of the full one makes a lot more sense. For example if you are an online magazine or a news site and have RSS feeds it might be a good idea to simply publish partial content to protect your content from piracy. Or if you are a cooking site or blog and like to publish new recipes. Instead of putting the entire recipe on the feed you can simply put a list of new available recipes ...

Consistency is very important in SEO. Without consistency the effectiveness of all your efforts will be lessened a great deal leading to wasted time and effort. For maximum effectiveness make sure you are consistent in:
Posting frequency – this goes for sites with blogs. Consistency does not mean daily posting but at least have something new each month or each week for your readers (and search engine spiders) to read. Remember to use keywords though (consistency again!) because the blog is meant to serve fresh content for spiders to crawl and you want them ...

SEO conferences are everywhere with speakers ranging from persons as knowledgeable as actual Google employees to more obscure self-declared SEO experts. The question though is whether there’s even really any value in attending these conferences? The answer to that question is the same as for many questions: it all depends. Depends on what?
