I often get emails from Fast Blog Finder users who ask about the “NoFollow” blogs. Is it worth to comment on a blog if it’s "Nofollow"? Does it have any sense? Won't it hurt the website rankings?, etc. are the questions many of our users are concerned about.

Well, I decided to do a case study to see if "NoFollow" links count and if it's worth our efforts to post comments on "NoFollow" blogs.

The majority of Internet marketers believe that the success is in getting the website ranked high for one or two primary keywords, and they put all the efforts to achieve this goal. This works, but not always.

If your market niche is too popular on the Internet and you have many competitors, it's very difficult to rank well for 1-2 best keywords. And even if you do this, your success is less likely to be long-lived. Expenses are maximal, output is minimal. Thus, it simply doesn't worth your effort and time.

Well, inspired by Arjan’s story, I decided to do my own research in this area and scrutinize the case myself.

Well, you've got a great website with quality content and you think you're doing everything right to please Google and climb at the top of search results.

However, you may notice that despite all your efforts your website doesn't rank as high as you would want it. The situation is most likely under your control. You just need to know what can go wrong to correct it.

So, here is a list of common Google glitches that may keep even best web sites from getting to the top positions in search results:

Joining a wonderful affiliate program that promises big money rewards can sound like winning the lottery. Many affiliates just put their referral links on their websites, send the links to a few sources of potential buyers and wait for the gold rain to start falling on them. This can work but not likely as expected.
