Ethical and unethical behavior seems to be a factor in ranking. When putting your link in forums, would one consider that ethical or unethical and does it factor to Google?

Thank,
Dave

Both on-page and off-page optimization are equally important in getting a good ranking in google. But, I feel that the most important part is getting a backlink from old websites with high pagerank.

Google's Page Rank (PR) is a numeric value that represents how important a webpage is on the web. This PR is calculated by how many webpages in internet is pointing to our site's webpage. Google Toolbar shows the PR of every webpage. We can Install Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer or firefox. PR3/PR4 is Good. PR5 is very good. PR6 is excellent. We can increase PR value by gaining more quality links.

Most webmaster are concern about keyword density for their content. Do not worry about this part, just focus on creating quality content for your users.

This is the ultimate goal which google want to attain.

Hi, this information is very interesting for me. Espesicially paragraph 3. Thanks

3) Factors that may count against you
a- Too much keyword repetition
b- Hidden content via text same color as background or CSS or other such methods
c- Javascript Redirects or certain other redirects
d- Cross linking bunch of sites to eac other in the same network
e- Doorway pages. Pages that are specifically written for search engines and cannot be found by your site visitors via your normal navifation menues.
f- PPC (SPAM/cas1n0) : Adult, cas1n0 related content
g- Duplicate content : watch out for those duplicate filters. Make sure your site doesn't have content from other sites or no one else has copied you.
h- Age of your domain. Brand new or less than 6-month old domains may be in the Google Sandbox
i- Participating in Link Farms or services that try to artificially increase your links by doing shortcuts
j- Cloaking : Showing a page to search engines different than what the users see based on their IP address
