		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s often seen as a bit of a black science, SEO (search engine optimisation). It&#8217;s expensive to find someone to &#8216;SEO&#8217; your website, and if they guarantee results&#8230;they are probably trying to con you. If you hope to rank first for &#8217;small tent on a hillside in Tibet&#8217; you are OK, but to rate high [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Link exchanges can still be an effective way to gain inbound links to your site, but the method is changing.
In the most recent pagerank export many link pages had their pagerank removed and are now showing as a grey bar. Possibly they still count for passing pagerank and possibly not, but the fact is google [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last couple of weeks it has been clear that google has penalised sites for buying links. In principle this can never happen. But I am convinced it has.
A common idea is that google can never penalise a site for the links TO the site. They can ban or otherwise penalise sites that sell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO has, for a long time, consisted of focussing on two things - onsite factors and offsite factors.
The most important onsite factors are concerned with having carefuly chosen keywords, above all in the &#8216;title&#8217; and in the heading, plus a couple of times in the text - which should also be surrounded with relevant text [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are some people who earn more than $10,000 per month by adding google adsense to their websites, but many others who earn less than $100 per month. Not surprisingly, those in the second group want to be in the first group.
So how to become a big adsense earner? The answer, in principle at least, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who follows webmaster forums will know that directories have taken a bit of a knock recently. Some appear to have been penalised by google, possibly for link buying and selling, perhaps temporarily perhaps permanently.
Be that as it may, as a result of the &#8216;discussions&#8217; that have resulted I now have a much clearer sense [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate about paid links and google continues - they say we mustn&#8217;t buy and sell links (unless we mark them as &#8216;nofollow&#8217;) because it distorts the search engine results. Well OK there&#8217;s a lot of truth in that. But life is never so simple.
