Another new person in the ranks of SEOGUY.
Firstly what a great source of information. I thought I had a vague idea of how some aspects worked...

guess not!.
I have much to learn, have set October as my month of improving the site. We have thus far in 22 months accumulated 3500 members with ; and being totally honest, little or no effort applied to promoting the site.
Paying the price now as I'm still like 181 in google for my primary keyword search/ role. The site is not unique but we are the biggest that I've found.
But since reading I've found we are doing alot better on MSN, Yahoo etc so thats good to know

Have spent today following some of the steps from the tutorials and invest time in keyword research.
Couple of questions,
the mod_rewrite used to be a key aspect, with the spiders not liking URL parameters, is it safe to say that time is now passed/passing?
Second one,
in the tutorial it speaks of not loading the keywords into each header...I use vb3+bolton's for the entire site which does kind of drop the global header everywhere, is there a negative impact? If so I'll sit down and write a bunch of conditionals.
Thanks again, more questions to follow in Oct and Nov I guess when I've rlled out the present changes.
Thanks for reading,
