The Good Old SEO Principles Are Still Alive on Google

[reseller]

Hi all

I have read in few threads that Google "doesn't like" pages which are white hat search engine optimized.

But I see very encouraging signs on the serps and it seems that google still accepts and rewards white hat SEO and use the followings for top ranking pages on serps:

- Keywords/ keyphrases in tiltle are highlighted.

- Keywords/ keyphrases are highlighted in domain name, sub directory and page name.

- The good old SEO of acceptable Keywords/ keyphrases density are observed.

- As mentioned in another thread, ALT tag is still counted (though it could be misused).

- Effective internal pages linking (crosslinking) within a site still have effect on PR values.

Thoughts?
