Alexa likes links. I agree with Carv. Build links, and if you can't do it yourself, use a trusted service like Menu 27 to do it. Alexa Ranking is an important metric for buyers and advertisers, so even though it may not matter to customers, you should still invest in it. Besides, any investment...

One major benefit is that online stores (if you own one - your question wasn't clear) make money and money is useful for purchasing goods, especially goods that can be purchased from an online store. Without an online store, you could not make money from the purchase of goods bought online. In...

Is there any significant difference in Google Search engine results (all other things being equal) between one kind of Joomla template or theme and another or are they all optimized the same way. What things should I look out for if I am wanting an SEO friendly template in Joomla? Does it even...

James Jennifer, I think your question is a good one and deserves an answer, but before I offer my humble suggestions, I want to respond to the issue of spammy links. While it is true that we should aim for good quality and high PR backlinks, and while it is true that Google frowns upon bad link...

Hi Easy Articles, No follow links are indexed by Google, they just don't pass on page rank (or page authority) to the site they are pointing to. The value of pointing to other high PR ranked sites (in moderation) is that your page is being associated with a high value resource adn Google does...

Kai, External links do not give you any PR juice directly, if that's what your refering to. However, Google recognises good (and relevant) neighbourhoods. You want to be seen as moving in the right crowd by Google. Using external links (nofollow) carefully can help your authority in the eyes...

I have been using Prestashop, Wordpress and Joomla for many years and know that no matter how good your website looks, and how hard you worked, Google can still overlook it. So, I have put together this quick web optimization resource that has helped me over the years to optimise my product...

Could anyone please add WHY they think these sites are good and perhaps give some suggestions on how to use them to build traffic and SERPS. Thanks.

Creating backlinks yourself is only of value if they are created on a site with some relevance to yours. Google will discount links that have no relevance. What that means is that just have 1000 backlinks to your site won't help you unless they somehow relate to your own content (which is why...

Web CEO and aHrefs are also good sites and easy to navigate and break up the information.

Hi Rustycatter, Does your comment about forum backlinks being better apply to do and no follow, or only do follow? Kind Regards, David

Hi Vaibhav, Could you explain a little about how you define "Content Marketing". Do you confine it to only certain kinds of on page work or off page work? Thanks, David.
