Thinking of more ways to get links from sites that can actually pass substantial link juice? In case you’ve overlooked them you should look into sites with .gov and .edu extensions. Note that while a good number of .gov and .edu sites rank really well the extension does not guarantee good link juice, hence, it is still a good idea to choose among the .edu and.gov sites you want to target for getting backlinks. In general though these sites rank pretty well because they get high quality links and are of institutes that are reputable.

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 and a summary or intro along with it. Subscribers can then decide whether they want to head on to your blog or site to get the whole recipe.
For most blogs though I find that publishing the full content makes much more sense. This is because subscribers are usually in the ...

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 to be harvesting a good crop of keywords.
Format – this includes everything from your URLs to your page layout. If you have decided on the URL format to use then be consistent in linking/re-directing links to the preferred URL format so you can maximize your link juice. When it comes ...
