Does registering a domain name for more then a year or two have any impact on your search engine rankings or the trust your domain might receive for that commitment?

Brett - yes.
It’s minimal, but this is like any other “flag” or signal you send to the engines.

Hi Guys —
Suppose you write a nice article or post about another site “A” with a link to that site.
Site “A” learns about your article, reads it,likes it and links to it.
Effectively you now have two-way linking. Will you lose rankings because of this honest phenomenon?
Look forward to your reply, guys —
Regards

I’m trying to build up domain credibility for my site, it has many links indexed on the search engines but ranking is quite poor. In fact, for the name of the site anchor text on more credible sites (older domains) show up before my site does.
I’m assuming the best way to go about this is through obtaining links from highly regarded, topic relevant websites.
Would you value EDU TLD links from pages with little link juice to still have value in increasing domain credibility in terms of the site they link to?
Bit of a tricky one, cheers!

I looked at your site, you’re kidding, right?

@tom,
More than likely yes having a word structure for your site, as opposed to query id’s, will likely be beneficial to your site so long as you don’t go overboard and stuff keywords. Everything must be relevant to the content, and the content itself must be solid.

How to index internal pages of dynamic site?
June 10th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
the “/” in the end of URL Address is preferable for SEO?
example:
“http://www.zeo.co.il/”
or
“http://www.zeo.co.il”
thank you.

If i start buiding 10000’s links in a month, but my site is old almost 1-2 year old. Will it hurt my rankings ?
if so then can competitors hurt my ranking by building backlinks to my website
thanx

The older your site is the better, and the more incomming links you have the better!
If your competitors link to you that’s awesome! Don’t link back!
as for url’s ending in ‘/’ if it’s the root domain, it doesn’t matter. If it is internal it is really important to distinguish.. ‘/’ means a directory, where the absence means a file.

How to devide our traffic or what is the best solution to run our portal smoothly.
We are looking for your valuable suggetion.

OK, here’s my question:
What’s the real deal with “nofollow”? Is the anchor text being counted or is it discounted in any way? As a site owner, is there any benefit from adding nofollow to certain links on my site?
OK, that was two questions.
March 29th, 2008 at 4:37 am
Nofollow links can play a little in search ranking, we have all seen test’s where Bloggers have signed Blogs, with an obscure anchor texts and these Blogs had nofollow’s and the target site ranks for these obscure terms now.
Just my $0.02
