I still find it surprising that so many sites still use poorly poorly written html and many sites don't seem to understand the significance of using keywords in link anchor text. regards, Anthony Some great information thank you.

Much of what I have learned about this was through other blogs and forums dealing with PHP security - the backup advice is still one of the most important though - being lazy can be very costly.

The social media explosion know as web 2.0 is changing the way we (Realtors) do business. There are more and more networking and bookmarking sites popping up every day. The latest things that we are experiencing are the customizable wordpress themes that are essentially static sites built around a hub (blog) to give the consumer/reader the total package and prevent them from leaving the site.

In effect this is a back-link to use Google's term (Yahoo! calls it an inlink). Such links provided they're from authoritative websites are certainly useful in gaining higher Google rankings.

Lots of good information. Its amazing how many times I still see "Home Page" as the title for a page. Many people are still using the same meta description by default on all their pages and unfortunatley, like greywolf said, there are still some CMSs that do not allow these fields to be edited or optimized. This is a good start and explanation for some on-site SEO that is easy to understand even for the most novice of bloggers/site creators. Barry, Great article! Lots of good information.

It seems to me that one of the more important (but completely unfair) rating methods is based on the age of the web site. Unfair because it would indicate that new sites have little chance of good ratings. The other issue is that you get rated on the quality of links to your site but surely this is susceptible to a newer, more refined version of 'Google Bombing' where you trash a serious competitiors site by creating one of those hated 10,000 page junk sites linking back to them. Can you improve your rankings by getting a competitor delisted? I believe so. Would it be worth it? I really can't answer that, I suspect not. Regards. Linking strategy and SEO go hand in hand.

I hope you can somehow get back what you lost, although you then have some work to do however convenient your backup is. It's tragic that such things happen. That’s really tough, Thomas.
