Speedlink V33/2011, Keyword Rankings, Blogging, Social Web, And Awesome FaceBook Guide

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a great and productive week. On my end, I decided to do some house cleaning (getting rid of less profitable sites) and focused more efforts on better performing ones. I also launched a new niche site experiment this week, that hopefully will answer a lot of my questions when it comes to site promotion. We’ll see how that goes.

Anyway, it seems that Google also has been doing some house cleaning of its own. They are getting rid of several projects like SideWiki, Notes, Image Labeler, Subscribed Links, etc.. Do any of you even remember or used sidewiki? I think I might have used it once 🙂

So, another week packed with great articles and before going to the roundup, I want to call your attention to the video below. Matt Cutts rants about “keyword rankings”. Listen to the “between the lines”. He’s giving some real good info about what you should be worrying when optimization is concerned.
