SEOmoz have created an interesting quiz which highlights some very important things we should be thinking about. A few of us took the test here, and did pretty well, but were surprised about the randomness of some of the questions! You'll see what we mean, take the test :)
Some of the more interesting SEO tips and stories we found out from the SEOmoz questions I have listed below:
1. Yahoo! is considered to be the best source for aquiring competitive link data (forget about using link commands at MSN or Google, or the comparative trends off Alexa).
2. TrustRank is Yahoo's answer to PageRank for link analysis.
3. The following domain extensions are seen as the 'most important': .edu, .mil, .gov. Interesting.
4. Spam sites or blogs that link to your site will could still give you some positive 'link juice'.
5. Having the same content on www. and non-www. site URLs can have a negative impact on your rankings.
6. Meta keywords are NOT important!
7. A 'one-size-fits-all' approach to Meta descriptions are worst than leaving the Meta descriptions blank. Always customise them on a per-page basis.
8. If your deeper pages have a weak page rank, link to those pages from strong, internal pages.
9. On-site content duplication is a big no-no for search rankings.
10. Having big, integrated sites on one trusted domain is much better than having sites with various microsites on different domains.
11. As slick and lovely as Ajax can look, from an SEO point of view there are no 'new, spiderable, linkable URLs'.
Plenty of food for thought...
