But reading your article makes me aware of how much I do NOT know! It's overwhelming! As much as I have learned, I am aware of only beginning. So how on earth can one person learn what has to be mastered? I have 10 sites up, all with at least 10 articles in multiple directories, all posts syndicated, and I have started interlinking my sites. But wow! Where does it end? It would be great if there were are step by step algorithm for optimizing a site. None of the ones I have studied seem to be complete. Thanks for all your great help.

Unfortunately anything longer than Home will push my blogroll and contact link out of focus. So I've decided to use the title tag with my keyword instead. I've also found an ingenious way to link back to my home page from all my posts and pages. Thanks again. Less I forget thanks for mentioning that "different SERPS are served for different geographical locations (IP’s)" COS I've been checking my ranking for keywords to my site and some of them ain't on the first page which had me wondering if my SE traffic had to wade through SERPS to get to my site.;).

Every link on the internal pages, other than menus should be no follow? - Insert the rel=”nofollow” attribute into all links (except for one link pointing back to your homepage, which contains your preferred anchor text) of every internal page of your site (excluding your html sitemap.)

I have been considering dropping my tagging strategy for a while and replacing it with the "related posts" on each post, with manual internal linking on posts using keywords in the post, in addition to my already existent category structure.

I see benefits, but I also see more unneeded duplicate content to add to the loads WordPress already provides. I don't use them, but yes they would improve an internal linking structure. I like having a list of related posts on each post, categories, most popular posts and recent posts along with a few more links that I like... that makes for a pretty good, deep linking structure. @ Dennis – I’m still torn on tags.

You may want to rely on your own trial and error in regards to SEO and throw away those old SEO ebooks ;) P.S. It's not a good vote for credibility to leave two separate posts saying the same thing under a different name.

But i have some doubt. You said "Insert the rel=”nofollow” attribute into all links (except for one link pointing back to your homepage, which contains your preferred anchor text) of every internal page of your site (excluding your html sitemap.)" So if we add nofollow on all link through out site as per you said than each page got only one internal link from all site pages. So is it not bad? As per my knowledge its also necessary to get increase internal link. Please share your views regarding this. Hi Josh,
