Some things I have noticed SEO which showed a positive
-
Hi,
Just a few small things I have noticed which has made a difference in ranking, thought I would share, small things but every little helps.
Looks like more content on a page the better the ranking, in a test I have done this is what I found:
page with 0 content - Google page 11
page with 250 content - Google page 5
page with 500 content - Google page 2
page with 1000 content - Google page 1, position 3
Looks like Google might count the words on a page (like you can do in Microsoft word) and then apply a score against it.
Tweets and likes (78) showed a jump from page 1, position 8, to page 1, position 1 (this was the only form of link building and no changes made apart from adding the share plugin).
Kind of makes me think if your starting a new site or page then add 750 - 1000 words of good content (tutorial or whatever) with a social sharing tool and let this run will give you a better chance of ranking when you start to introduce products and services.

Yes that was what I was thinking. Having said that, it is possible to obscure the theme of the page by adding more text also
-
Yeah it was relevant. So you could say relevance played apart but all of them had relevant content at the same quality.
I'm not saying what im saying is fact just the results I got look like it might be a factor, there is quite a large gap between rankings and it goes in order of number of words.
Guess you could say more words more relevant.
-
But was the content relavant to the keywords?
that could explain if it was building relevance, rather that purly number of words
-
Separate domains using same template with unique content straight out of word.
I didn't look into using the same keyword density as I just typed it up and added keyword terms where they looked natural.
I did add 500 words then a week later another 500 words then it jumped so my mistake there but the others had content added once before indexed and that was the result.
-
Were they randon words or reletive content?
It may be that your page becomes more relevant as you add more content, Matt Cutts suggest you dont need more content to be authoritive.

Social Impacts on SEO? How to Do this?
I'm new in SEO and heard by one of my friend that social signals are important for SEO of a website. If people have shared a website's url on their twitter, then it will automatically get rank in google. Is that true and how google sees this social sharing? and how can I do this for my website?

Page Speed Factors For SEO
Hey Guys, I have developed a page and optimised it. I have got a dilemma, I have 2 variants of the optimised page I could use. The page is responsive and uses bootstrap from an external CDN. The 2 variants: External CDN - This is adding an an extra request and is delivering the entire framework (not ideal for mobile) I've looked in the node/grunt.js route (+unCSS) to remove redundant CSS, which led me to my next variant. Inline CSS. After doing some grunt.js work I shaved out the redundant code from the framework then added it inline. I will also point out that all assets are optimised, all CSS/JS/HTML is minifed. In terms for score the 1st variant is less than the second, but I believe that most users of the internet already have bootstrap cached due to it being so common. The ultimate question comes down to ranking, I'm not entirely sure where I draw the line between development and SEO (I will also ask in Stack Overflow). Which one would rank better? all other factors being equal.

Outbrain Select SEO Implications
A member of our marketing team wants to use Outbrain Select to curate content to augment the original content we have on our site. http://www.outbrain.com/select/how This content would be taken from other pages on the site and shown through as though it is on our site through javascipt. Obviously this page would be setup as a no-index. This seems to me like something Google would frown on. Does anyone know the SEO implications behind using a tool like this? I'm concerned google will see links to a blank page no-index page and find it suspect.
