How does web content really affect SEO? It's often said that the
answer is simply that content does not affect SEO very much-it's
all about more technical issues. Yet a website's content still
plays an enormous and fairly direct role in search engine
ranking.
Of course, the whole goal of the search engines' ranking schemes
is precisely to deliver good, relevant content to users. The
mechanism for how search engines select and reward good,

discussing whether affiliate marketing was easy. Specifically,
the original poster was angry because he said it seemed every
marketing product promised "easy affiliate riches", but that he
wasn't finding it that easy, and wasn't having much success so
far. It's certainly true that some sales letters over-hype, both
inside and outside the Internet marketing field. But what about

First things first, let's define the two. Advertising is the act
of getting your message in front of an audience. There are any
number of ways to do this, that's really not the theme of this
message. Being able to track a sale backwards to the advertising
that produced it, is.
Second, Marketing is the over all process you use to promote
your products and/or services. This includes advertising, but is
in no way limited to advertising. Again the theme here is not to

The "duplicate content penalty" myth is one of the biggest
obstacles I face in getting web professionals to embrace reprint
content. The myth is that search engines will penalize a site if
much of its content is also on other websites.
Clarification: there is a real duplicate content penalty for
content that is duplicated with minor or no variation across the
pages of a single site. There is also a "mirror" penalty for a
site that is more or less substantially duplicating another
single site. ...
