Today I received an email newsletter from WebProWorld, that I subscribe to. A webmaster was asking if ‘links pages are worth it?’ I wrote in the forum to confirm that yes I firmly believe in the value of a good quality links page. A previous reply to his question mentioned that Page Rank shouldn’t really be acknowledged as it is anymore. I fully agree with his statement.

Yes, social bookmarking can help bring social traffic - we get plenty from StumbleUpon -, but movement in search engines? How could that work they’re all nofollow links… And then it hit me.

Yesterday I posted a blog on another site about lead paint in toys. The post was published in the morning and by that afternoon the post page was already indexed in Google. If you want to get your pages indexed really fast post a blog about what Google thinks is a “hot topic” and it’ll get indexed in a flash.
