5 Reasons for Fresh Content
Have you ever thought about the Internet as a living and breathing entity with websites being the cells? Think about this: without websites that provide fresh new content, the Internet would slowly wither and die. Search engines are simply keeping the Internet pulse going by encouraging you to provide fresh new content and they reward you accordingly with an increase in rankings.
This post covers 5 reasons it is important to keep your website fresh, up-to-date and lively.
It's all about the title…The YouTube title that is…
You’ve created the most awesome video the world has ever seen: the best visual effects, the most hilarious dialogue and the hottest thing since…but wait, nobody is viewing it because nobody is finding it.
Have you considered the title of your video? Just like keyword optimization for a website, you need to optimize your YouTube title. In order to optimize the title, you should start with a tool such as Google Adwords keyword tool to find which words are best for your title. (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal))

Page Layout Algo: Are You “Ad Stuffing”?
Google recently coined the phrase “Page Layout Algo”…have you heard about it? Google continues to move forward towards optimizing the user experience. What they have now done is tweak their algorithm to penalize a site with too many advertisements above the fold or a site that makes you scroll down too much to find the content or page layouts/designs that simply make it too difficult to see the real content.
As quoted directly from Matt Cutts in his recent blog post:
This algorithmic change noticeably affects less than 1% of searches globally. That means that in less than one in 100 searches, a typical user might notice a reordering of results on the search page. If you believe that your website has been affected by the page layout algorithm change, consider how your web pages use the area above-the-fold and whether the content on the page is obscured or otherwise hard for users to discern quickly.
While this change won’t affect the shear numbers as previous Google Panda updates, it has the potential to really affect internet marketers and Bloggers who rely heavily on Adsense for revenue.

Mastering your SEO strategy with Internal Links
SEO to people means many things...from keyword strategy to proper title tags and meta descriptions to building heaps of quality backlinks...but have you ever considered the internal links of your website?
To start with an easy mental image and analogy, think of internal links of your website like the veins in your body. Their role and function are equally as important to the health of your website as the veins are to your body.
Imagine your page as a remote island
Step back for a minute and imagine each page of your website as an island in the middle of a lonely ocean. Each page then has three elements:
