You can also use Yahoo's tool called Smush.It which removed meta data from images so they get even smaller :)

But you didn't give us any SEO tips :( My tip is to read the Google Webmaster Guidelines and obey them down to the word.

I use WordPress for my blog too. It's very SEO friendly and you can do almost anything with the plugins so I don't have to code my own stuff :) I love it!

I think a lot of people think PageRank is more weak than it really is. 1) Any site can rank for an exact match domain. This was studied and verified by SEOmoz. 2) You have hundreds or thousands of internal links back to your homepage with your site's name. Of course you'll rank first for it...

I use WestHost. When I outgrow it I'll be moving on to VPS.NET. They're both managed by the UK2 Group and everyone seems to love them :) They're really open about everything and support is great.

If I needed something like that I would get a netbook. It can do everything an iPad can do and more. I think the iPad is more of a toy than anything else really - it's just a big version of the iPod Touch. Sorry :)

Hi everyone! I'm Techie from a site called TechGeeks :) and I'm here to learn what I can from other forum administrators. I know a lot about SEO and ranking so I hope I can help some others too. I really like small communities like this because when you contribute you're really recognized and...
