I’ve been paying attention to that sort of thing and it really does make a difference, I believe. Your suggestion about content mass is interesting, too. Thanks for the thought provoking post. Now I have a thing or two to think about - nice to see you here on SMBCEO :-) I like your suggestion of using bold and italics.

Something to consider with Content Mass is to spread it out over more pages vs. more words on a page. Very good article for beginners as well a reminder for most everyone.

Get your name out there on the web or in publications as much as possible, that will increase your ranking! It's even better if you get into big names like NYTimes or WSJ or USA Today, since Google scours those sites and articles with a link to your site will get huge weight and increase your exposure. So, PR is a crucial point in SEO. I'd use places like <a href="http://www.publicityguaranteed.com" rel="nofollow">Publicity Guaranteed</a>, which only charge based on placement - a really cost-effective alternative to expensive SEO firms and marketing.

Technorati was leading the race in the beginning, but I am not sure who has the best search function nowadays. I will look into the role of contextual ads a bit more, participating in a coursed called PPC (Pay Per Click) Domination. I have seen an increased traffic from Google searches to my blog and now I want to test AdWords. Luz,

Sounds like you encourage around 1000 words per page. Is there a maximum on words per page? In other words, can an excessively long page cause SEO issues? Thanks again for the information.
