In response to that, yes the article may be old, but the PR the article contains is probably the most important. That will confirm if the article has good quality facts and comes from a legitimate source.

Very nice content you have here. I hope Google will filter more quality content blogs or websites in their search engines. They should not solely rely on how old the post is or how many links are linking to that post. This has been a practice of some SEO bloggers who build a lotm of links but do not provide quality contents to their blogs.

I have found that your last point on Semantics is MOST important of all to listing high in SE’s. Further, it is more than “bashing” them over the head with keywords, but more about the finesse with which you use combinations of related keywords together – Google gives you this with their own keyword suggestion tool – hint…hint

Good content. Just wanted to add some points here that may be helpful for those looking out for professional SEO services. There are tons of SEO companies offering different SEO packages and solutions at highly competitive rates. However, when looking our for these services, its important to not only look at the affordability factor but also what is unique about their SEO service and what differentiates them from other companies.

While choosing an SEO company its equally important to analyze the SEO company’s website in terms of their Rankings, Yahoo links, Google index, Alexa ranking and similar such factors which indicates the company’s expertise in the field of SEO. So make sure you are doing enough research and smart work before investing your advertising spend.

I still feel that most often it is useful to have a blog structure for the whole site or at least for part of the website. The RSS feed mechanisms bring important extra leverage in getting extra incoming links as movers and shakers become aware of the new content.

Once again it seems to come back to the tried and true.

Quality user friendly content and links.

I would say that the complaint about Google not announcing the emphasis on brands is mere semantic quibble and not worth debating. What has happened is 1) SERPS have clearly started reflecting a brand emphasis 2) Google’s CEO announced a philosophical shift.

I take that to not only be an announcement, but to be an announcement backed up with action.

#’s 1 and 2 seem ‘head-smackingly’ obvious, but this is the first I’ve heard of physical address and phone number having an SEO impact. I’m curious to see the specifics. Is there a study that you can point us to?

This is where I pick marketing over SEO.

I have to disagree with #2 about the 1-800 #’s. I read a study done in the past year that said people tend to prefer local #’s as compared to 1-800’s and they cited “people think that there will be a person, not an automated response, at the other end of the line”.

The stats said about a 36% increase in phone calls.

But if you need to go the other route, I’d get a vanity 1-800 because it will increase your recall rate by 84%.

Also, I have to agree with Michael, “Google did not announce they are placing emphasis on brands, but rather that they have tightened trust filters for certain queries.”
