There is so much mythology about SEO out there - I read the other day an article on top SEO tips and number one was "Looks count". Huh? Looks mean nothing to a search engine. Number two was "Colorful Counts". Search engines don't care about colors, either. I've been doing this a long time, and trust me, looks don't count, but good solid search engine loving code and solid keywords count more than anything else. Ah, the link obsession is a new one and people are also going overboard with that. Link appropriately and reasonably, and make your links count, and everything else will fall into place. Let's put the focus back on content and leave the SEO fussing alone. Good, audience building content will win every time.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1652','Lorelle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1652','Lorelle','Thanks for the kind words, and I\'m glad my article helped you.

You may notice that in earlier posts, I linked to the same site more than once in a article more often than I do now. I think that it was a piece in Scoble's blog (I may check and link back to it. LOL) that mentioned that it was better to not link as often. Once a week was enough and more often would detract from what you want to achieve, if its search engine rank.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1651','Corey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1651','Corey','There are other things that also affect your \"rep\", so to speak,a s well, like the frequency of linking to the same site\/page.
