I wasted a whole lot of time giving this test (75 questions!…i felt like i was giving an entrance exam) Many of the questions, as you mentioned, were not exactly answerable.

These points are very valid even almost a year after you wrote them. SEO is an art and science that evolves and changes over time. It is impossible to know everything about SEO, only continue to learn and evolve with the trends that are relevant.

Funny, I posted a similar type of comment about it being a semi-slanted test, except not quite as harsh

seoMOZ expert?

I guess maybe it should be more about a community feedback test where experts can give feedback on the test, instead of just basing in on their own random blog articles. I lot of the questions seem to be more about gut feel than actual, multiple long-term studies.

Can we make a new test together called

“The cut and dried, black and white seo test (because SEOMOZ didn’t make the grade)”

and we can have a second test called
“The SEO rumor mill test–it aint true, but we would like to think that it was cause we overheard someone say something about it once”

Maybe get 4 or 5 Q&A’s from various SEO niche experts out there (and we can incentive the experts to do it and promote it)–you wanna do this? contact me.

WHere cut and dried comes from:

Had to do with food.

As to whether internal linking boosts PR. If the link is going to increase the likelihood of someone visiting that page, then yes. PR=the likelihood of a random surfer visiting a page, no? Put a link, you increase the likelihood (assuming you’re not hiding your internal links…). Similarly why footer links help but only marginally. So for those people releasing WP themes… you need volume for that strategy to work!

This gets confusion when two people from that work from Google give different information. I strongly think the fault to some of these questions is mis-information from Google staff..

the question:
When launching a large amount of new content on a new or existing domain, the best way to release content for crawling and indexing is:

A video I watched recently suggests that it’s best to add content in smaller chunks(this video was from matt cutts himself).

There is no art or science involved in search engine optimization it’s more how about how you earn those links.
