Default Google FAQ

Hey guys, I am starting a section on my blog called "SEO FAQ" a sub category of which will be "Google SEO" - the idea behind this section is to create a resource for new members who have common questions to be able to go and read before posting, and get brought up to speed quickly and easily. (And saves us from answering the same questions every few months )

So I am looking for some good questions, starting with the basics to answer. Keep in mind these need to be questions about a single thing and should be specific enough to have an answer (How do I rank well in Google) is not a good question for this section, where as "What is pagerank" is a great question. Or "What is an update" that sort of thing.

Anyone have any questions they want answered? Let me know
Thanks

here is an example post http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/...rey/2338/show/ - Obviously I will put more effort into the real posts, not those just for example purposes, but you get the idea.

Default Re: Google FAQ

- Pagerank Questions -
How big of a boost is a high pagerank, how important is pagerank for SEO?
Why is my Page rank not changing/increasing (foolbar pagerank etc)?


- Other Questions -
What is Alexa/ How are alexa results calculated/whats the importance of alexa? (People ask this quite often)
How do i check backlinks? How do i check my site is in the Index? How do i check my page is Cached?
What is the target percentage of keywords on a page/ how do i properly utilize keywords on my site?
What is a link farm?
What are In Bound Link (IBL)/ Backlink (BL)/ Reciprocal Link (RL)/ Three Way Links?
Can I optimize Flash on my page/ Is Flash SEO Friendly/ Will a completely flash page affect my rankings?

Thats all i can think of right now, these are all questions that have been asked numerous times by new forum members (And im getting tired of answering them over.....and over.....and over..... )

EDIT: Oops not all those questions are google related, but ignore the ones that aren't. However, I must say the Alexa questions do get asked A LOT!

Why does Google show zero (or only a few) links when I check the link: search there? I see this one a ton on the Google Groups.

Why does Google automatically penalize new websites into the sandbox for months on end for no reason?

What are the best things for the owner of a new domain name / website to get out of the Google sandbox as fast as possible?

Great idea, Morgan. Q: What is right or wrong with using a template website.
