I've found that forum it to be both a help and a hinderence in boosting google rankings.
like any se tips site to get the best effect you really need to conduct your own studies and try to sort the fact's from the fallacies.
All it takes is a few forum members that seem to keep throwing up se wives tales time and time again and legend is presented as truth..
You can end up building to specs that do nothing positive for you
Experience is your best guide.
I've begun building test pages the last few months in an effort to make sense of changes. Some of them are really working well,only problem is I cannot yet see why
One thing I do know is the ones that know the most actually say the least
Nice tips for SE beginners Alphawolf
They would have save me about 100 hours of research 12-18 months ago
The main peice of advice could add is always keep and open mind and a close eye on results that may indicate changes in the algo..
Quite often the answer is right in front of your face on the screen,you just need to work out what the question the googlebot asked to get that result..
And be prepared to do plenty of this too
Se work hurts your brain but once you get a grasp it helps your income for some time to come.
