My strength is 7/10 as well, so I'm pretty happy with that.

I've actually just been a PR 3 since the first update after I started my site, but I'm quite content with that. I get lots of traffic and I'm in the top 10 for several keywords so that's good for me.

Yeah, it's really not about the PR. It's more important to have the right keywords and such than to have a specific PR.

I don't know about specific percentages, but no, not everyone is aware that they should be keyword dense anyway, so that's why they specify.

Wow, there are a lot of them. Personally, I just go to YouTube if I'm looking for a certain technique that I don't already know.

The main pages on my are indexed. I add new ones from time to time so those aren't all necessarily indexed yet.

I think a few graphics are necessary so a page doesn't look plain and dull, but more than a "few" is far too many. No one wants a page to take forever to load nor do they care to just look at graphics usually unless it's a site specifically for images.

Yes, I do all the graphic design for my site. I use Photoshop on a regular basis so it comes natural for me to work my own graphics. Maybe someone else could do them better, but I enjoy what I do and it's free besides my time, so it works for me.

I bought a new laptop that had Vista on it and I thought I was going to hate it. In reality, it's not that bad, though, so I didn't bother changing it over to XP.

For my website, offline promotion didn't do a whole lot of good, but I helped with another where offline promotion was crucial. It was for an education website and we used fliers along with business cards, which brought in quite a bit of traffic and regular users over time.
