There are only three that are of any use, so they're the ones I use:
. use at least 400k of JS on your homepage
. All homepage links should be to link farms
. you need 10 pop up windows per page
. 1000 invisable text words
. you "must" have a flash intro and a splsh page leading to your flash page
. You must sell a small cam that goes anywhere
. you must display a logo saying "designed for explorer"
. your page must load within 7 mins
. you must place your title tag after the final </body> tag
. images that are less that 1 meg should be avoided
. you need to link to your 404 page at least 8 times from your index page

Where are my manners
"Welcome to Webmasterworld"

Having good links pointing to the site helps a lot, and if you can have text links for those it's better, including more helpful to people finding the site through the links.
It's not only what's on a particular page, it's what's on the whole site, and the Page Rank, which depends on the sites linking to you. So that's why a program for pages can't be that much help, there's just too much off the page that also counts.
Get some links from good sites, and especially submit to ODP.
Reading through the forum helps the most, even though there's an awful lot to absorb, and also looking at sites right at Google's site, including in the cache where keywords are highlighted so you can see how they're distributed.
And welcome to WmW!
does any of you have aim or icq?
aim - Abu2136
icq - 84793343
I don't use any programs to optimize. But the knowledge available here at WW is worth far more than any program, I don't care what it is. So study study study and ask questions. Good luck.
question: on a 100% scale, how much does having sites link to yours influence your PR?
Example: links make up 20% on the PRing battle.
question: in the movie waterworld, why wasnt the military, w/ there carriers and ships, leaders of everything?
SERPs, however, are based on on-page criteria and on PR-weighted link anchors.

Links are what counts for PR. You want other pages linking to you, and the higher the PR they have the better. However, the importance of PR is often overblown. The importance of PR depends a LOT on how competitive the key search terms you want to optimize for are. PR really isn't the main concern if your key search terms aren't competitive. For example, if you consider "fluorescent pink arboreal capybaras" a key search terms, doing well on that really doesn't require a high page rank. ;)
"SERPs, however, are based on on-page criteria and on PR-weighted link anchors."
in english? or newbish? and dont be shy about the waterworld question, its a very good question
Search results (SERPS) aren't directly based on PageRank.
SERPS are based on on-page criteria and on the text in and near the anchors of the links pointing at the page. The latter is weighted by the PageRank of the linking page.
Try and get listed in as many subject orientated directories as possible that is one of the important steps to boost link pop and as a result increase your PR.
mack, the calculations always appear to be strictly numerical for Page Rank. Have you seen any data or testing done that would indicate a PR boost for theming?
>in english? or newbish?
We speak serpish here. :)
I thought PR wfrom a linking page was content neutral?
That's also my understanding. There may be other factors operating and helping along, but strictly for Page Rank it's straight numbers AFAIK, the value of the vote.
Actually, try to get as many sites with related content to yours to link to you regardless of your PR. Inbound traffic from related sites is at least as good as search engine traffic. Recently in fact I found that a Russian site was linking to mine unsolicited from my logs. I found they had a bulletin board, and realized at least one of the webmasters spoke English. I offered to link back to them, and even asked for the proper Russian Cyrillic language text that was proper for the link. [BTW, I never realized what a pain it was to figure out *how* to get Russian language text on one of my web pages. ;)]. I figure good relations with related sites (I also have a Finnish language site linking to me) is more important than worrying about search engines.
I was simply saying that Google appears to rank sites more favourably when then have sites (on content) that link to them.
>> I wasn't refering entirely to PR
I just want to clarify this because I'm afraid we're confusing our new user Nik21. "PR" is usually used at WebmasterWorld to refer to Google's PageRank, which is a measure of the number and quality of links to each web page Google has indexed. But sometimes it's used more casually to refer to any or every element of determining rankings.
So "PR is 100% related to link pop" is correct if it's referring to PageRank. "Google will pass on extra PR if the site that links to you is of similar content" may be correct if "PR" in that statement does not mean PageRank, but means in general an improvement in ranking.
And SERPs, in case it's not clear, is "search engine results pages," the page of results that are returned for a query.
