		<description>تحديات العصر والبطاله
اصبحت البطاله من تحديات العصر للحكومات واصبحت علي قائمه الاجنده الخاصه 
بالحكومات ولكن السؤال الذي يطرح نفسه وبشده هل نسب البطاله حقيقيه ام مجرد ابحاث قام بها مجموعه من الباحثين المهتمين 
بالارقام انا في اعتقادي الشخصي ان مشكله البطاله مشكله عالميه وغير خاصه بالوطن العربي ولكن المشكله في الوطن العربي
هو عدم توافر اسلوب للحوار بين السوق والعاملين اي انه لا توجد قاعده معلوماتيه توفير للمتخرج 
او الطالب احتاجات السوق من العماله او الدراسات التي لابد ان يلتحق بها ليصبح معد لسوق العمل
وكذالك الحكومه تفقد المعلومات عن احتياجات السوق فتكون النتيجه تكدس السوق في احد المجالات
وعدم توافر فر عمل في هذا المجال في الوقت نفسه يفقد السوق عماله في مجالات اخري 
وتصبح عمله نادره ومن المشاكل الاخري ايضا ان تفقد الحكومه احساس الموقع والمتاخ
فليس من المعقول ان تكون دوله تعتمد علي الصيد وتهتم الحكومه بالخرجين في مجال الزراعه وتدعم الصناعات الزراعيه 
ولذالك يدخل المناخ والموقع كعامل مشترك في دعم سوق العمل والاتمام بالمجالات 
التي تساعد علي النهوض بالبيئه ومن اكبر المشاكل ايضا ان يفقد الاتصال بين الشركات والعاملين فعند توفر فرصه عمل في
 احدي الشركات لايستطيع العامل الحصول عليها وذالك لجهله بعدم وجود فرصه عمل
"وقل اعملوا فسيرا الله عملكم ورسوله والمومنين"

		<description>There are different ways to work on the seo of our website.
Either we can get lot of backlinks for our website or we can get quality backlinks. But this can be optimized by getting the right links than the volume.</description>

		<description>Hey Web Pula,

not sure what you mean by "lowered PR" but it sounds like your friend put that "competitor site" into massive bad neighborhood, thereby getting their PR removed completely ... 

BUT what's your point pagerank wise? 
did the site rank worse because of this? 

Remember the whole article her does NOT talk about PR, and you should stop thinking and talking about PR as well

Jim even pointed that out last year already and sent you here

http://www.jimboykin.com/pagerank-bar/

did you read that one?

best,

		<description>Hi everyone. Good article but you can cheat Google by pointing bad links towards competitive sites. One of my friends said that he hated one of those sites that ranked better than his one, in spite of that this site with less links had better PR than his one and he pointed bad links towards this site and lowered the PR of the competitive site. So it seems that Google is not using completely right strategy.</description>

		<description>I think mini network and some relevant backlink are important to SEO more than number of backlink too.

Thanks for the great article.</description>

		<description>The first drawing was funny and made my coworker and I laugh but we got the point. It explain why our site up to a page rank of 4 in 2 months after creation and now is sitting at a rank or two.</description>

		<description>Question for Jim:

I am in a small industry. I have tried using the common links tool to determine the "centers of the industry". The main problem I am having is that there are no sites that have more than 5 of the top 10 listed, and most of the sites that link to multiple (3) competitors are sites that are still sitting out there, but have nobody at the helm.

I have tried everything - even phone calls to "retired" webmasters - to get my link in these "dead" sites that are apparently the center of the industry. Many of them have a broken submission form or an invalid email address on them, or I just get no reply. The only other "centers" I can find are directory websites, most of which are pretty shameful to be listed in, or charge some outrageous fee to be listed in.

One of these "centers" was DMOZ, who apparently doesn not want to list me because I submitted my request 6 months ago and I am still not in there. Some of my competitors have 3 links in there even though they say that is against their TOS. Considering there are NO other PR8 sites that are related to my industry, this seems like a significant place to get listed, but no can do.

I know it sounds strange, but what should a webmaster do if the centers of the industry are dead, but the industry itself is still alive? In my case, should I be seeking out the "live" sites that none of my competitors have found yet? Will Google consider me irrelevant if I do the work my competitors were too lazy to do? Should I try link exchanging with competitors' websites since they are really the only "centers" that still have someone maintaining them? Or should I be concentrating on quantity of links to beat out these "dead" listings that they all share?</description>
