A member asks, “I’m listing a 2 to 4 useful links on most of my site’s pages (mostly to government websites). Should I be making them nofollow or dofollow?”
At first, the consensus to not bother with no-follow links. But then…
I had 4 links on that site to external sites. Google thought those 4 links were paid links. They weren’t. Well, actually 2 were, but they were image ads, not text links. The other 2 were text links, but were not paid links. I’d always been under the impression that Google understood image ads were ads. I was wrong about that. In any case, Google slapped me with a PageRank penalty.

What advice would you give someone that’s trying thinking about getting into a competitive online industry regarding there SEO practices. For example, if I’m trying to rank for the key-phrase “coffee makers” (I’m not, just using that as an example). What advice would you recommend I do to get my website “out-there” and known? FB, Twitter, Google+, Videos etc … what ideas or suggestions do you have .
Do you have any advice?

Matt Cutts, Google search engine marketing spokesman, has announced some changes for search marketers and web designers. For sites with little content above the page fold and packed with ads can be subject to the wrath of the Google search engine.
We’ve heard complaints from users that if they click on a result and it’s difficult to find the actual content, they aren’t happy with the experience. Rather than scrolling down the page past a slew of ads, users want to see content right away. So sites that don’t have much content “above-the-fold” can be affected by this change.
We had an average year in 2011, with nearly 8 million page views. With a new forums upgrade, user interface, blog and a planned surprise for members and the public coming in February, 2012 will blow past 2011 stats.
