Couldn't agree more LSI is becoming more and more important as time goes on, I think if you are using wordpress the All In One SEO Pack is a must

Okay, cool something a little different. I'm particularly interested in the readability level of the page.

I think (just my opinion) that this could be how google defines "quality" content.

I don't know the technical stuff involved with doing it. But I'm willing to bet they have queries grouped in some sort of structure that says, the readability for this should be X.

So if someone is searching using words that only technical experts use, the reading level should be high (in theory).

And if people are searching for regular stuff, the reading level be lower.

There are well established ways to determine reading level. I think the average newspaper is written at about a 5th or 6th grade level.

Now imagine a website on "which kettlebell should I buy" that's written at an 11th grade level (which by the way is pretty freakin hard to do).

Google would have to think something is fishy with that...

While I appreciate the input, and will probably be useful for some folks, it has nothing to do with the intention of this thread.

I'm interested in starting a discussion about advanced on-page SEO. The kind of things the big boys are doing that give them an edge over the competition.

Let's just take the keyword car insurance quotes...

The companies that rank in the top 5 for that keyword could literally spend millions of dollars (and probably do) on "link building". They can create all the content in the world, the best of the best. Their sites are all PR8 or whatever.

What on-page techniques do those folks use to get an edge.

It doesn't matter when you're competing for keywords like "blue widgets that taste like candy" but if you ever want to compete for tougher stuff I want the advantage.

Now a more real world example...

Let's look at a tradition "niche" site that we mostly talk about here. You do your keyword research and find that "aluminum water bottles" is something you want to go after. The competition isn't bad, etc...

The other people competing for that aren't going to go the extra mile with their on-page stuff. But you can, and if that gives you an edge, allows you rank with fewer links, gives a higer ROI, etc.

That's what this thread is about.

This is probably the best SEO advice I've seen on WF. As you can see from my signature, even though I'm best known as a sales author, my "day job" is doing AdWords & other PPC management. Where do I get my clients? Simple: My blog, less than a year old, ranks on page 1 for "adwords blog." This gets enough traffic and enough people filling out the "Request A Quote" page to keep me busy. And what SEO did I do to the site?

NOTHING.

It's nothing more than a Wordpress blog and at least once a week I write a good, solid, content-rich article that's actually useful to readers. Other blogs routinely link back to it (I think SEO'ers call this "link bait") because it's good content.

Not one SEO trick, no article writing, no backlink building, no social bookmarking, nothing. I'm not saying those things have no value - they certainly do - but this just goes to show what can happen when you write content with the sole intention of being of service to people and giving them good, solid information that they will appreciate and can use. (Which is one of the building blocks of my 'Never Cold Call Again' system.)

I'm not saying not to use SEO techniques - but I am saying that before you even go there, make sure you're putting out good content, not a bunch of "spun" junk articles and other rubbish. Always remember that Google hires the smartest people in the world and you're not going to pull anything over on them!
