Social bookmarking can help your site rank IF you do it manually (stay away from automated services) AND if you pair it with other link building methods - from links on forums, guest posts, YT videos, etc.
Also, it can help your site rank if you're going after a keyword with practically no...
I don't use too much tools these days. Opensite Explorer, Ahrefs and Majestic for backling checking.
I also use Google Keyword Planner to check for basic keywords I should focus on. The thing is, when you write good content in a niche you're familiar with, you'll likely use much of the keywords...

I'd say it's about developing relationships. It's fairly easy to do once you start a quality, long term project. Then, you can always talk to your new friends and find mutually beneicial ways of working together, aka introducing one another to new audiences.
Social shares, links, and all that...
It's about social for sure. But in order to be successful at social marketing, you need to help people out by answering their questions and delivering content they love to digest. I dislike the buzzword, but content marketing. And not just articles... videos on Youtube, your OWN videos are...
I don't focus on SEO, but I do my due diligence and setup my (Wordpress) based sites so that they have the best chance of getting better rankings. It neither adds nor takes away from the content.
Whenever I "build links" to my sites, I do that with the purpose of getting visitors, not for SEO...
I don't care for PR really. It was a long time since Google updated it for end users (us), so I see a lot of sites with fake PR.
It is just one metric out of literary hundreds that G uses to rank sites.
Having said that, my content based sites are around PR 2 or 3.
Hi mutantbull. This is easy IF you define your target audience.
You do this by imagining a person you can help out, a person that will find everything you post useful and extremely helpful. That person can be imaginary.
Imagine what they do with their life, where they spend their time, when...
Hi Kaitlin.
I'm going to quote another post I made recently. In my mind this is required reading. When you set aside one day and read these, you will know WHAT you are buying in the future, and how to tell if someone is pitching you a low quality service OR is just full of crap :)

Hi leader.
SEO is not a platform. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is basically doing anything and everything to get your site ranking better in the search engines (most often Google).
I recommend you set aside one day and read SEO: The Free Beginner?s Guide From SEOmoz . When you...
Longtail ranks better for the specific search term. In the example you have given it would have an advantage in ranking for the phrase "best blenders around".
On the other hand, since you wish to build an authority site with lots of reviews, I would suggest you go more towards a shorter...
There is basically no magic way of searching for the competition.
Just type in "blender review" and similar keywords and search first 5, 10 or more pages in google, as deep as it makes sense and you are still getting good results. While you do this just type the URL of your competition in...
Odesk, Elance, etc.
You never know, sites may even stay on top for a good while without your continued effort. Google is unpredictable ;). I know there are sites people haven't touched in years that still rank good. I even know of cases where people would start working on such sites again and...
