include keyword in your domain name . ex=cookinguru.com

Use atleast 1 keyword in title , headline and meta description. Don't use to many in body . You may also use them in subheading.

Always change your post permalink if there is no keyword in the url. If you dont see title of the post in the url , you need to change the permalinks option.

Add ALT tags and title in all your images and make sure to optimize the size to cut the server load

Interlink all your related post , Make sure your link contains keywords. If you are linking to other website always make sure that site you are linking to is a "good site" . Be carefull not to link to spam sites.

If anyone else has any tips feel free to share

    I think you should be pretty careful with that. Using keywords in anchor texts for all of your links may look your backlink profile unnatural.

      I agree with you. Using keywords for links is not a good idea. Instead, you can put the links on a keyword phrase. You can put direct plain text instead of the links like: Warrior Forum (www.warriorforum.com). This is the latest trend to put links.

    This would've been a good tip in 2013. Not exactly the best way to start any list...

    Basics are basics. Pick up any beginners guide, and these are there.

    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    I would also like to add on SEO tips that social media is also helping to get more than better results. From my personal experience, I find Twitter very much using using Hash tags(#). Also visitors are much active on twitter.

    The above is wrong unless you are trying to rank for the keyword

    cookinguru

    If you wanted to rank for cooking guru the domain that would help is

    cooking-guru.tld

    Keywords must be separated by a hyphen.

    Use atleast 1 keyword in title , headline and meta description. Don't use to many in body . You may also use them in subheading.
    Title tag: yes
    What's a headline?
    Meta description has no ranking value.

    Use as many 'keywords' in the body as works. As long as it doesn't read spammy, it's fine.

    Always change your post permalink if there is no keyword in the url. If you dont see title of the post in the url , you need to change the permalinks option.
    Guess you are referring to WordPress. The Post Name setting tends to be best.

    Add ALT tags and title in all your images and make sure to optimize the size to cut the server load
    Alt attribute text yes, very important for image SEO. Title attributes added to images (or anything) has no SEO value, so pointless.

    Interlink all your related post , Make sure your link contains keywords. If you are linking to other website always make sure that site you are linking to is a "good site" . Be carefull not to link to spam sites.

    Finally some good SEO advice.

    I wouldn't call these Cool SEO Tips, mostly wrong SEO tips would have been more accurate :-)

      I don't believe Google is that gullible, but all of this is just a waste of time. EMD doesn't help you enough to justify an ugly domain.

      It's pretty hard to even understand what you're trying to sell here, but if it's backlinks from Twitter that's just pointless. If you can find a lot of active followers perhaps some of them will click your link. Certainly hasn't been my experience.

        Do the SEO tests (like I do) and you'll find hyphenated domains are treated the way I said.

        Google has confirmed this via Matt Cutts. SeeSEO Domain Name (YouTube video about half way down).

          Yes, in 2011. Is this stuff really that relevant in 2015? I'm sure you know that they decreased the effectiveness of an EMD between those two points in time. And no, I'm not claiming that EMD is not a ranking signal, just that it's not something that you should pay that much attention to.

          However, I must say that your blog post makes a lot of sense. I stand corrected, convinced by speedo fart.

            Yep, as Google adds more ranking factors (look at all the new mobile and page speed factors recently) the older ones will be worth less, but the are still factors. If we've gone from 100 factors 10 years ago to 200+ today, obviously the older 100 factors can't all be worth as much today as in the past, something had to loose ranking value. If EMD was worth 1% of the entire algo at it's peak, could be worth 0.5% or less today (no idea about actual %s, just for illustration). Whether it's 1%, 0.5% or 0.1% I want it if it's low hanging SEO fruit.

            So I'm not saying having an EMD and you'll rank for hard SERPs, it's a ranking factor so take it into account. If buying a new domain with a keyword in make sure it's hyphenated because those are the only ones that help (in a small way) with ranking.

            BTW I own both EMDs and non-EMDs, depends on the site, how important branding is and if I can buy a relevant EMD. When buying old sites domain name per se isn't high on my list of reasons to buy or not buy.

    Keyword domains are ugly to me. If I am looking for information on gold investing and I find a website called howtoinvestingold.com I guarantee I won't read it because it looks cheap and spammy to me.

    This worked some years ago but these days you are much better off to just use a branded domain.

    My 2 cents anyway.

    All basic and sound techniques although as far as...

    I just saw a recent post from a seasoned Warrior Forum user that it's better to go back to "click here" instead of putting keywords in your link text. This seemed almost laughable to me since it really goes against one of the core principle that HTML was created for, to link text to relevant information. Maybe this conclusion came from someone building too many links with the same keyword in the link text?

      I think people take these things way too literally. There is no formula of a certain amount of "click here" and a certain amount of "keyword here" links. The idea is to build links that are natural.


      Look around the web at real, legitimate sites. People hardly ever (at least on the sites I read) link using generic keywords. They may use "check it out here" or "this guide" or some keyword but it has to make sense in the sentence..not just a random keyword thrown in for ranking.

      Using wide and varied anchor texts is simple and works just fine.

    One of the best SEO Tips ever is "DON"T BELIEVE SEO TIPS YOU READ ON A FORUM"

    I see so much of the blind leading the blind these days.

    In SEO you really have to test, test, test, and test some more.

    But with that being said, your tip was decent. Also, I have found that no matter what anybody says right now, high quality contextual blog posts are still working miracles to rank my sites!
