What are your top 3 - 5 SEO tips? Hi Gary - I like the advice you've given, but I'd add that page load time was stated by Google to be "used in fewer than 1% of all queries" and that when used, it's only 1 of 200+ ranking elements. While there's still tons of great user-based reasons to make fast loading pages, I wouldn't put page speed in the top 3-5 tips personally. Also - HTML validation is something Google's reps have talked a lot about and noted they don't care much about at all. Having code that works/loads is important, but W3C validation simply doesn't impact rankings. |

Any Recommended Job Posting Sites for Startup Leadership (CMOs, VPs, etc.) Yes - definitely been using LinkedIn a lot for the networking. Is it worthwhile placing a job posting with them, too? |

Is 163 backlinks alot? I'd also add that PageRank is just one of dozens to hundreds of link factors in Google's ranking algorithm (and Bing's/Yahoo's). Googlers have been fairly open about the fact that it's no longer a major player in rankings, but is used more heavily for indexation and some other things (like duplicate content control). |
