At first when I started messing with link wheels I thought that you just made the link wheel and that was it, great rankings and move on. I even made a blog with posts I did for 8 months in advance. Well after the 8 months was up I was getting a whopping 4-5 UV per day from Google. Fail.
Of course I was wrong, because a link wheel is only a tool or a start. Its like your core. You need to link to your link wheel. In the game of SEO its about looking natural. If all of your links are pointing to your main site, Google will know that its not natural. However if you had a site that went viral and everyone linked to it cause it spread by word of mouth, then you would have links showing up all over web 2.0 properties.

Many marketers make the case to use the intelligence learned in SEO to put into a PPC campaign. Such a strategy could be revising content on landing pages, changing title tags and description tags, long tail keywords, etc. Implementing these changes could have an effect on Quality Score, CTR, Avg CPC, Ranking, etc.
But, I say how about doing it the other way around also? Why not use the performance data from Paid Search for SEO purposes to lower your total CPC cost?
For example, if there is a high traffic keyword, and/or a very expense keyword, why not optimize one of your webpages for that term? That way, you’ll end up saving a lot of money from Paid Search because of your SEO.
Rather than going after the “head terms” first, you might want to give this a try on your Long Tail Keywords. Once your chosen webpage has been optimized for that expensive keyword, sit back, relax (not too long), and watch all that “free” traffic from that once-upon-a-time expensive keyword.

SEOMoz Page Strength Tool : Replacing Google PageRank?
SEOMoz has put together a new tool which Rand & Co. feel can “replace the often inaccurate and infrequently updated Google PageRank score in the toolbar.” SEOMoz has consolidated various metrics used to judge site value, visibility and SEO strength into one easy to use tool which hopefully will have a Firefox extension in the near future.
In an effort to make a better site and search engine importance measurement tool, SEOMoz Page Strength is pulling in linking info from Yahoo, pages indexed in Google, domain age, links from .edu and government sites, Alexa Traffic Rank (which does not seem to be working), Google PageRank, DMOZ and Wikipedia listings, and domain visibility.
I’ve found the rankings of my own sites to be accurate, especially those which have not achieved Google PageRank to date because of their newness and recommend giving SEOMoz Page Strength a spin.

Yahoo Search Index and Google PageRank Updates
The past 24 hours have been quite busy as far as search engine updates are concerned, with Google updating PageRank and Yahoo making some changes to its search engine index.
Yesterday evening webmasters began picking up some changes in Google PageRank with the little green bar on their Google Toolbars (for those who don’t use all of those nifty datacenter PageRank checking tools on the market).
Looks like, according to some of the threads, PageRank is up for some and down for others.

I’ve been amazed at my recent poll that shows that 46% of my readers that voted said that they never buy text links. Now keep in mind, my blog is about 80% dedicated to “link building” topics….and yea, I do buy some under the radar quality links…so it really suprised me that almost half of [...]

Recently I fielded an emailed question from a reader as to which is better home for a blog: as part of the company web site (www.company.com/blog/) or as a separate domain (www.companyblog.com)?
I get this question often and see it mentioned in the forums as well.
There are many factors that influence whether your blog should be part of your site or it’s own domain name including:
