    Is it lame if adding a "Buy me a Coffee" or "Donation" button on your blog?

    Depends on the blog, honestly. If your blog is hobby related, and just offering advice, insights, or sharing your experiences for free, then no I wouldn't consider it lame. If it's a professional blog for a company selling a service or product, then yes, I would think it would come across as...

    What is Broad keyword

    This is more of a PPC topic, not an SEO topic. It essentially means allow Google, or Bing, to show my ad for people search for this keyword, plus variations of the keyword and search phrases they believe to be "closely" related. In PPC, a broad keyword is when you target a keyword like...

    Are Directories Still Useful for SEO?

    Really? Lots of top ranking local sites have listings from properties owned by Yext, which you have to pay $500 per year to get listed on. Additionally, directories like LocalDatabase which charge a fee. Not to many, many niche specific directories charge a listing/review fee.

    Are Directories Still Useful for SEO?

    Didn't realizing I was reviving an old thread, it was on the first page of the SEO section! I agree with your reply for the most part. However, even a site that reviews/costs money to be listed isn't always a good decision. For example, I found a network of YellowPage sites that, after...

    How important is balance between do-follow and no-follow links?

    I don't agree with a "one size fits all" approach to this, as the other "SEO guy" told you. I would recommend analyzing the backlink profiles of your competitor sites that are currently ranking above you, including the dofollow/nofollow ratio as well as their anchor text ratios.

    Can forum signature link hurt your keyword ranking on Google?

    I would say no, they are mostly beneficial. However, if the forum you have the signature on has no relation to your website then the benefit you get from it would decrease.

    How to know if a website is good for backlink?

    First, you want to make sure the website would be relevant to have a link pointed back to your site on. For example, if you run a website selling hats, you wouldn't want a link from a video game site pointing back to your website -- unless the hats you sell are about that game. Next, you want...
