“Trustworthiness of the domain based on link distance from trusted domains” was ranked by 66% of the SEO experts who participated in the SEOmoz.org survey as having “very high importance” as an SEO ranking factor.

“What”, you might ask, “is trustworthiness of the domain based on link distance from trusted domains”?

A link on your website directly from a “Trusted Domain” (a domain that search engines believe they can trust) is one click away. A link on your website from another site that has a direct link to a “Trusted Domain” is two clicks away….and so on.

The fewer clicks between your website and a “Trusted Domain” the more trustworthiness the search engines give your website.

Using Keywords in Your Title Tag Gets You Better Search Results

When users type words into a search engine search box, the search engine displays search results based on the search engine’s algorithm.

“Relevancy” is one of the primary factors in determining the order in which natural search results are displayed.

Having keywords in your title tag increases your site’s “relevancy” to the users search and, thus, causes your ad to be placed higher in natural search results.

Those precious 65 characters allowed in title tags are prime real estate on your page for two reasons:

1. Title tags are the first thing searchers see in search results
2. Search engine spiders give considerable weight to keywords in title tags

Are your links diverse? Sixty seven percent of the SEO experts who participated in the SEOmoz.org survey, said that link diversity was highly important in SEO strategy.

It’s the consensus that “content” is king of Internet Marketing. It still is. But it now appears that a lot of high quality links from a variety of sources is the king of SEO.

While link quantity and link quality are vital to SEO, it is also apparent that link diversity is equally important.

Link diversity is a simple concept. It’s better, according to the mysterious algorithm used by search engine spiders, that you have 1 link from 10 different sites than 10 links from the same site.
