But it's by far better to remove them, as far as you can with a site. This is especially true with this one-step optimization where you focus on growing the site and not revisiting already created pages. Not every engine appreciates them, nor do link partnerships. That's important if you are looking for links to internal pages.

As far as it's possible I try to approach it as if every page is my only page. That way I tend to optimize it fully, ensure it has high quality content and is also attractive to linking partnerships.

Thanks glengara, for your kind words. I too work with small to mid size businesses and with designers who may be giving the site owner the only shot at optimization, what's right up front. This type of planning helps them tremendously and they can put their focus then on link partnerships and submitting to themed vortals, as they fnd them.

It's really a different ballgame than it was even a year ago.
