I use Firefox because the SEO Book toolbar that I am using is compatible with it and the browser is much faster than IE.

I recently formatted my laptop and now I'm using Windows 7 operating system. I find the graphical user interface cool and awesome because it's much faster compared to Windows Vista.

Design- looks clean and user-friendly. Usability-Links work and navigation is easy. Content- can use some improvement so that you get more traffic.

I think the layout of the site is okay and looks professional, simple and clean. You might want to add a bit more content just so the site doesn't come off as "empty" (for lack of a better term).

Design/ template looks pretty basic for a blog site. You might want to add more graphics and publish content more frequently to get more visitors.

It also helps to tap social media sites. This can drive more traffic to your site and since these sites have lots of members, you can start building networks/ communities to gain more hits.

The stats that my websites get from Yahoo vary. I guess they have a special formula for crawling and indexing sites, just like Google. But it always helps to use Google for benchmarking.

Quality content would also be very helpful for your website and benefit not only search engines but users. The keywords inserted in articles within the website is not just for SEO purposes; they can also help emphasize a certain point.

The line/ border gets in the way of the text at the end of the paragraph. I'm not sure if it's a browser problem. I'm using IE. Overall, looks okay for a blog.

I checked the site and it looks professional and okay for a newsletter signup page. However, you should try inserting more images and improving on content to get more visitors. Hope this helps.

A good website should have the right balance of content and graphics. But graphics is the first thing that people notice so it should always be striking so visitors stay on the site and come back to it.

The social bookmarking sites that have helped my sites so far are Delicious, Digg, Stumble Upon and Reddit. Other sites to try that have different platforms are Twitter and Facebook.

Inserting keywords in the content helps a lot for optimizing the inside pages. It's also efficient to use descriptions, title tags and adding alt tags to images so that they become search engine-friendly.

Links are a big help in SEO, especially if used responsibly. Not only do they help in site PR, but also in driving traffic.

While there are just theories as to how Google crawls and indexes sites, I think the best method to measure progress is to set goals and timeframes. Weekly stats also help to balance out SEO practices (like link building and directory submissions).

Twitter is used for promoting a website by building a large network of followers. The promotion can be in the form of links to the website or other updates like product/ service introductions.

Spamming is part of the black hat techniques which should never be used to improve SERP. The worst that can happen to your website would be to get penalized and get banned altogether.

I also think meta tags are very important. For your website to "conquer Google," I also suggest that you develop a competitive marketing strategy before starting your SEO. Track your progress and make notes of the most effective methods and improve on them.
