I would update the date if the article has had a substantial change in content or the way it was written. It may help it get crawled sooner.

I do not believe that this is possible at this time.

I would go with a higher amount of " exact match" keywords. As long as the content on the page that it leads to is highly relevant. Google is all about serving the best content for the search query. So be sure to make the content that the person is clicking through to extremely relevant to the topic. This now becomes a quality of content and by serving highly relevant content as opposed to working on back links google is going to go where the content is all the time. Also the time that the user spends on the site is taken into consideration.

Hope this helps.

We are also looking for ways to weed out extra expenses but at the end of the day we want quality tools. So we have decided that the following three tools was the best way to go for our company.

Moz
Keyword Spy
SEM Rush
