DO IT RIGHT - SEO hasn't changed - The SHORTCUTS Have *PROOF*

I've been doing the same thing for the past 3 years since I started doing SEO, building websites etc.



Good quality unique content on your site.

Make sure the content is well written and optimized, of coarse. Use your keywords, etc the standard procedure...

Good quality unique content for backlinks.

Get your social media profiles going, twitter, facebook, etc.

Get your visitors to come back for more.

Keep your site updated...

Notice since 2010, no hits from 'google updates', panda shmanda gator penguin, because I don't take shortcuts. Google is cracking down on the effectiveness of these 'shortcuts'.

This pic is 100% organic search engine traffic (90% of it from Google naturally), this does not include direct visits, referrals, etc.

I do nothing different now in 2013, than I did when I first started in 2010.

Stop over thinking SEO. Do it and do it right, do a good job, use quality content, go through all the motions and eliminate mass auto submission software (Unless used properly and with care), article spinning and 'autobloggers' from your game plan entirely.

Just sayin...

    Good post.

    I've always followed the rule of:

    1 - Low competition, but "buyer oriented" keywords.

    2 - PROPER on-page optimization and quality content. (This, IMO, is the most important thing.) Too many people overlook on-page SEO and content.

    3 - Making sure to update my sites at least a few times a month.

    4 - Fewer, but higher quality, backlinks.

      Hmm that's strange, according to your signature I took it as you're the mass submission type .

        Almost 100% moderated blogs. A lot of people who do legitimate manual blog commenting have a hard time finding PR1+ posts from active, moderated blogs. (Or don't have the time.) Never been a big fan of automated commenting.

        I've always followed the rule of asking myself if I'd approve the comment on my own blog before submitting it.

        Anyway, back to your original post, essentially it comes down to keeping it simple. Which is why my focus is almost entirely on low competition keywords. But keywords that buyers would be searching for. Doing that, and properly optimizing your pages, doesn't require a ton of backlinks to rank.
