    Nofollow can be bad for your site

    Nofollowed links don't count as backlinks for the purposes of page rank calculation. That's the whole point. Google drops them from the link graph. You'll still see them reported as backlinks - on Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster Tools, etc, but they are not contributing to your ranking.

    How long takes DMOZ to accept a site?

    Just submit and forget. It can take months, even years to get into Dmoz. There used to be a forum where you could ask Dmoz editors about the progress of your listing (haven't checked it out recently) and that could sometimes help, but there's just not enough editors.

    Yahoo Ranking

    Be careful not to over-optimise for Yahoo, at the expense of Google. That would be suicide.

    Higher traffic make your page rank increase?

    PageRank is increased by getting links from higher PR pages than yours, or by getting a lot of lower PR links (the amount needed to increase your PR goes up with each PR score, and its logarithmic). But don't worry too much about PageRank, not the Toolbar PageRank anyway. It's only one of many...

    Tips for building successful squidoo pages

    A brilliant post about Squidoo. Thanks so much for that. I particularly like the tip about revisiting your lenses and adding new content. I bet most authors wouldn't even think of that. A great Squidoo lens should be a work in progress, like a Wikipedia page.

    Reciprocal link useful or not

    Reciprocal links don't do much for rankings but might be great for direct traffic. They also help your overall link profile. Google expects to see some reciprocal links - it's very natural looking. Just stay in your industry/market/theme .

    In content link v Homepage link

    Contextual links are what you should seek out first. Failing that, a link on a homepage can be good (homepages usually pass more link juice) but be careful how and where it's placed. Surrounding text (before and after your anchor text link) can help improve the quality of a link, for example.

    the age of a website matters for google?

    All depends on the keywords your targetting. But in my experience, if you're targetting commercial phrases/competitive terms, age plays a major role. With Google, old is gold :-)

    The Google Algorithm

    I believe the change has started already. I'm seeing less dependance on links, which means there's more emphasis on other factors. What those factors are is up for speculation, but could include user vote behaviour (clicks on SERPS, social media tagging, etc) which has been rumoured for quite a...
