Good stuff....thank you for the awesome advice!  I'll heed it.

Hey Ryan. I found a bunch of links through the SEOMoz link tool analyzer that our competitors have. When I visited the link sources, all of them required a reciprocal link to be placed on our website. However, I notice that none of our competitors have a "public link page" where these reciprocals might be. Therein was my question... Jay

Where should reciprocal links be placed on our website?  Should we create a "Resources" page?  Should the page be "hidden" from the public?  I know there is a right answer out there!  Thank you for your help!

Write the content for the audience...there should be no minimums for superb content!

Tim,

We always index ALL pages...the help tip on Google XML also suggests including all pages of your site in the XML sitemap.

I have used, and still use, MC for a part of our Internet marketing plan for each of our clients. The MC listing does aide in boosting page 2 and page 3 rankings. I too have noticed a drastic decline in MC total aide in page 1 rankings...especially since they were sold! I think MC still helps for service-based listings when used as a City+ name application.

Thank you for the info and link. We are psyched about going and learning. Jay

I'm attending for the first time this year and I am just curious as to what to expect with attendance, etc.
