If you ask me, I do have one. And that's "search engine optimization is all about trust". You can check out my entire insights about the principle here:

Best seo tip

I would love to hear yours

Wesley Atkins · 12-11-2010, 06:54 AM

Nice blog post Man... Some good quality info there

Trust is only going to continue getting more and more important in Google in my opinion!

I've seen big changes in the last few years in how Google ranks my sites and it all seems to point to how I approach the link building promotion...

On a new website if I work hard for 2 months building a diverse set of one way, good quality backlinks then I find I get quicker, more stable results...

...Then once Trust is established in the domain, Google are more lenient in their view of the links you build...

The key is to establish trust earlier on with good backlinks (at least that has been my experience)..

Effective Link Building-

Relevant Content
Optimizing Mega Tags
Proper title tag
Avoid using black hat SEO techniques such as spam, cloaking, etc for implementing SEO solutions.

Mehak · 12-11-2010, 10:53 AM

i agree with what Wesley has said, once your site is liked by Google it makes it much easier to target other keywords, add more content and so on.

My tip is that you should continue to add new content on your site regularly because it shows Google you are giving up to date info making it less likely to let other sites take your place.

What I also like about adding new content is that you can then go and forward that same content to so many other sites and distribute your knowledge all over the net

brandonbaker · 12-11-2010, 11:40 AM

Ditch the low-quality backlink rat-race and develop your own strategy to consistently gain high quality links. It takes more time to learn, but the benefits are long-term and much more potent.

Darla · 12-11-2010, 11:48 AM

My tip would be to start with GOOD keyword research. That's the foundation. if you rush through the KW research phase and select words that are too competitive or lacking in commercial potential, all further SEO tasks may be in vain. It starts with solid KW research. I am learning to put the bulk of my time into KW research. All other SEO tasks will build upon that stable KW foundation.

That's exactly what I'm talking about

I guess we're on the same page when it comes to link building. I've worked with a lot of authority sites, and one of the things that really caught my attention is that it's easier to have their new pages/blog posts to rank on "Google's first page" (for profitable keywords) by just having the advantage of the "trust" that search engines see on the site.

2d0k · 12-12-2010, 07:40 AM

I have only three: backlinking, proper keyword research, and good site contents..

RhythmClick · 12-12-2010, 09:43 AM

I very much agree with your notions of trust, and the other views on content, quality links and KW research.

If I wanted to add my 2c on whats already here, it would be:

1. Understand the importance of analyzing backlink profiles. It seems that my understanding of link building is always based on the degree to which I have analyzed the backlinks of high ranking sites.

2. Establish a testing framework for your efforts. This can involve getting enough sites online (all of a reasonable standard of quality) that you can test different seo approaches on different sites for different periods of time to start to get a feel for what seems to be working and to be able to try to isolate the effects of your different efforts to given sites to some degree (at least for a while).

entrepreneurjay · 12-12-2010, 02:28 PM

1. Quality Backlinks
2. Anchor tags
3. Content optimized with your keywords and the more the merrier.

That is SEO in a nutshell!

AwesomePossum · 12-12-2010, 04:13 PM

Exactly,

Trust in the search engines are HUGE...be as natural as possible, establish premium links and engage and interact with authority sites.

Also...keyword research is HUGE because google is an organization of information. Use the wonderwheel to peice together how google structures information in your market and use that to establish your content.

Hope this helped,

Aaryn

SEO is a lot of things.

Best advice would be different for a huge company to a hit and run affiliate.

Be flexible would be my advice.

Your tip does make sense

But if your online business' goals are for long term, I guess it's best to invest on what's really best.

leo.prash · 12-13-2010, 01:04 AM

Theresa84 · 12-13-2010, 03:38 AM

Get more here: google(dot)com/webmasters/seo(dot)html. This page will explain most of what you should focus on along with what you should forget about. If you have been thinking about handing over the task of SEO to someone outside of yourself, you should read some warnings before you part with any money.

jigney · 12-13-2010, 04:04 AM

Good content is the most important factor for effective SEO results

kenaz · 12-13-2010, 04:18 AM

- Insert keywords within the title so that search engine robots will know your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keyword or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site. Make sure that the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.
-Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is specially useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page, the better.

sappacis13 · 12-13-2010, 04:36 AM

Every advices in here are related to SEO and it really helps some of the advice. And I really appreciate that. Thanks!

Some tid bits here:

You have to have a good quality content, use a dot com website extension, keyword research using google adword keyword tool. And never compete w/ highly targeted traffic keyword just look for the less competition.

Also On page Off page seo, rss, forum marketing, press release marketing, video marketing, article directories submission, pad file submission, social media, social bookmarking, etc...

And use also google trends so that you can target w/c places is highly looking for that particular niche.

Use also twitter marketing like posting your url link on the profile so that you get a backlink to your site. Change also the background of your twitter and put your image of your webiste on it.

Try also to use twitter transparent background so that you have a wider space placing your image. You can see an example below of my signature.

The key to success is taking the action. Quit of being perfect just do it!

Thanks one thing i do not understand is Widget bait in the original article can someone explain please

wmcfer17 · 12-13-2010, 05:14 AM

I used to spend a lot of time and effort on SEO and on getting quality/relevant backlinks a couple of years ago. That is because the blog was new and had a small audience, so publishing outstanding content alone wouldn’t do the trick. How did I go about attracting backlinks? Doing three things mainly:
1. Submitting my posts to social bookmarking sites. There are plenty of do-follow social bookmarking sites out there that will send you link juice even if you are the only one voting for your story. On top of that I also tried to promote my killer articles on Digg, StumbleUpon and Delicious, and whenever I managed to score a front page a big influx of organic links would come.
2. Networking with fellow bloggers. Building a relationship with bloggers inside your niche is essential. This means that I would link to them often, and many times they would return the favor. I am not talking about link exchanges but rather about natural links to quality content that your fellow bloggers post.
3. Guest blogging. As you probably know I am a big fan of guest blogging. Back in the day I used to do it a lot, which sent both new readers and backlinks my way. Sometimes instead of using the byline link to my homepage I would point it to a related post I had published on my blog, and that can help a lot with search rankings.

SteveSki · 12-13-2010, 05:29 AM

My number one tip is to choose a domain Url with your keywords in it. An exact match if possible.

wmcfer17 · 12-13-2010, 05:41 AM

It was been discussed here... What's the best SEO tip you can give?

Please use the search engine next time :P

gittar1122 · 12-13-2010, 06:08 AM

Nice tip and for me Content and Backlinks are much important. If you have quality content and quality backlinks then you can expect your site dominating search engines.

joelwalters · 12-13-2010, 06:32 AM

Hey Kaiser, ya got some killer SEO tips in there my boy. What would my best tips on SEO be. Well, just concentrate on building high pr, relevant backlinks to your site. And make sure your on page optimization is good (so you don't have to build as many backlinks)

don`t forget to pinging into social bookmarking, of course after adding new content, I agree with you, Content is The King

arcadiasmith · 12-13-2010, 07:19 AM

If you own a website and want to ensure that your web pages are interpreted in the same way by various users, search engines and visitors, just as the way you want it, you need to validate your website.Website validation is a process which checks that the pages on your websites are in compliance with the formal standards or norms as defined by the Worldwide Web Consortium. You also need to make sue that the styles and codes you use are validate across the board.

Thanks for dropping by my blog Joel, really appreciate it

Regarding your tips, that's actually building trust in the eyes of search engines, and with the on-page, that's also building trust in the form of user experience

It's a technique wherein you build or hire someone to build a plugin/app/widget (for wordpress or other CMS), this widget should be extremely useful or creatively done in order for people to naturally get this widget. Of course once they install it on their blog, they're definitely giving you a link

sunfer_p · 12-13-2010, 08:20 AM

My best SEO tip = automate your link building!

davies856 · 12-13-2010, 04:02 PM

Content is king so your content and keywords in the title tags are important.

Link building is what will sustain your site but the links need to be from a variety of sources to make them look natural

prideseo · 12-13-2010, 04:19 PM

Yes, write quality content for your site.

beavboyz · 12-13-2010, 05:39 PM

Depends on the types of sites you build! If you want an authority site then absolutely

24kWing · 12-13-2010, 05:52 PM

I have a couple of tips. First, remember that there are 2 parts to a Complete SEO Strategy.

On-Page SEO & Off-Page SEO

Also, quality SEO cannot be accomplished overnight. It takes time (many months) to do it right. It's a grind, but it is worth it when done correctly.

Good Luck,

What I should have said:

My best SEO tip = either make your links build themselves or get others to do it for you; this way you have more time to focus on everything else.

This means you could:
- Outsource your "simple" linkbuilding
- Use mass harvesting and link generating software
- Linkbait awesome content

I'm a SMB SEO, not an Adsense guy, so this sort of a procedure makes sense and is gradually giving me time to expand my business (I'm trying to start a creative marketing firm).

M Stevens · 12-13-2010, 05:55 PM

Don't overuse the keyword in Title or h2 tags

How to do that buddy? Coz sometimes we are facing difficulties lacking of people and sometimes the hand made link building is not the most efficient one.

And I do believe that the content is the most important one while the seo works also have about 40% importance that leads to success.

- For software, try scrapebox
- For outsourcing, try making documentation:

(a) A step-by-step tutorial that teaches someone how to build links
(b) A google document where you keep all your link building resources, you know, blogs/forums, decent directories, etc.

Now your outsourcer is going to be able to work quickly, and you're in overall good shape to try other stuff like...
- Create linkbait = generate interesting content and promote it on social sites. If you make it, links will come.

InitialEffort · 12-13-2010, 06:57 PM

Don't listen to everyone else, and instead test for yourself.

Couldn't agree more, that's why it's quite important to have creative minds on board to have the marketing swift as possible as it can be. Doing link bait (may it be through educational content, infographs, tools/widget, ebook) or link magnetism, it's simply the best way to do marketing. It's like a word of mouth marketing over the Internet, which only requires you to think outside of the box and let everything fall in its place, while you are advancing on other important tasks to be done.
