I guess they were just looking to make some $fees? Is this subject worth its own thread?

Hey guys, I am still keen to get a concensus of opinion on whether websites can gain any SEO value out of CSS layouts? Any experiences?

Yes they can, but it's not huge.

Is it really spamming?
I see it more as alerting the world to your site.

... just getting articles from sites will rather penalize your site as 1000s of other websites are also using them ... then the issue of duplicate content or google will put your website to Supplemental Index...

So write your own content... well you started a website so you know about the subject write few articles on your own... that "quality" content will help you a lot...and dont forget to put a Copyright Logo at the bottom of you pages....

Very informative article.I like the way you have put down the things into points.
which would take quite a lot of time for newbies to figure out by themselves.

Hello John Scott and congratulation for this post.

But you don't speak of "alt' on the images for insert keywords and that it's important to place the keywords in the beginning of the webpage.

Isn't important for you ?

Thanks, Deleter23

Excuse for my english , i'm fench

Good reading, thanks all.

I think I have seen some potential link sites that dont allow the anchor text link, signatures for example. In that case is adding regular text next to a hyper text link of any value?

I believe that the Alt attibute of an image tag can influence how your image ranks in image searches. I get really nice traffic from Google image searches to my aquarium fish site.

John Scott · #**215** (**permalink**) 08-08-2006, 07:01 PM

ALT text is now used whether it's linked or not.

Dear John...

Thank you for your answers.
Recently I am learning about the power of Anchor Text as you wrote on
http://blog.v7n.com/2006/02/02/inbou...d-anchor-text/

But I still don't understand clearly. One question I have is:
If I have anchor text, i.e = "web development" and I put this on my page, is it mean that other websites who have "web development" in their Page Title will vote my page automatically?

A few days ago I checked the backlinks at one of my websites. At the index html page, I used anchor text "web development" for example.
I found there is one website (my competitor) linked to me automatically. He use "web development" in his Page Title. I was surprised, but still not sure.
Thus I make a temporary conclusion: We should make Page Title of competitor sites = our anchor text to get better rank in Google.

Please let me know more about this. Thank u so much John ...

Hi Mes,

I know I'm not John and I'm not even close to being an expert of SEO. But I am almost 100% sure that these things are not related in any way.

When you use an anchor text it tells the search engine that the site the link is pointing to has something to do with the text used as an anchor.

I remember reading an article about the term "click here" which Adobe ranks highly for because so many sites links to the Adobe Reader.

So in short: The anchor text you use and the title of other sites are not related.
