Those are invaluable information. My obsession is to have an experimental online site that is subjected to SEO tasks collaboratively by the forum community.

There is somethign I read in one of those tutorials that I never thought much about before it was this:

"You don't use the "Add URL" form with Google at http://www.google.com/addurl.html
Believe it or not, using that form to let Google know about your site will actually HURT your PR and at the same time get Google to rank you LOWER. In other words, you ABSOLUTELY NEVER want to use that form ... or the similar form on any other search engine, to promote your web site. "

How often has everyone heard of this before. I realize that you can get ranked without ever submitting but I never htought of it lowering your rank.
