What is your search engine optimization strategy?

I first start off with on-page optimization with meta tags, keyword optimization, well-written content and making sure my coding is valid.
Then I go to off-page optimization with link building, article submission, social bookmarking, forum posting and I exchange links with related sites.

I believe those are the best ways to reach the top of Google with your target keyword. Until somebody proves me wrong, I will continue to do that.

 

Agree with the poster above^

First thing to do is on-page optimization, second by off page and the strategies that you'll going to use in building links, like establishing your name to different kind of social media's not just joining the group just to spam, but you're there because you want to give something valuable and vice versa.

 

for me related & quality backlinks is a big factor.

 

When you go to optimize the site follow the below rules--
1>>First Research those keywords who are best for you business and give you the traffic

2>>Select the landing pages for all keywords

3>>Put the relevant content according to his targeted keyword on the selected page

4>>Then optimize meta, left, content and footer of all landing pages according to targeted keyword

5>>See the results of your optimization in first cache

6>>Make some changes as per requirement when you read the cached site .


These are the process to optimize any site for good ranking and traffic..

 

Do on page optimization - Page Title, URL, Meta Description, Alt Attributes for Images,Content after that you can go for off page optimization-SBM, PR, etc

 

Link building - Meta Describtion - Image optimization

 

I was just occupied checking client's site rankings for their monthly reports when I entered this thread. Waiting for the software to finish the scan, made me count their #1 and first page rankings.

6 domains - 186 #1s; 272 additional top 10s - total 458 first page rankings.

My strategy, giving Google what they want.

 

firstly i will do onpage work > Content optimization, Meta tag, H1, Alt tag, keywords stuffing and more. After that i will focus on offpage work > Directory Submission, Article Submission, Press release Submission, classified Posting, Link Building, Social Networking (facebook, myspace and more), Social Bookmarking, Blog Creation,
Blog Commenting, Forum Posting , RSS feed generation and more.

 

Quality post and Link Building
I put some time on bookmarking and twitter too...

 

Content is the king. Give quality content to the visitor.
Then using proper keywords and metatags will help.
Then directory submission, articles etc. will be helping a lot.
Thanks

 

Unique content and quality links, internal or external.

 

My Strategy is Quality Content and Relevant back links.

 

Bags of patience and plenty of quality content and backlinks

 

I usually start with the basics.

Back linking is not glamorous, or fun, but it works.

My first tactic would be submitting to directories to increase page rank.

My second tactic is pretty easy, simply submitting to social media sites.

My 3rd tactic is to contribute to forums, and post good content, not junk.

My 4th tactic is to make sure profiles are set up in all the major search engine directories, MSN, Yahoo, Google, etc.

My 5th tactic is to create video, podcast, blogs, articles, and press releases to increase ranking.

There's a couple things I didn't mention, that gets to be more complex, but these are the basics.

P.S. don't forget about keyword optimization on page, and off page. Strategically placing your keywords.

Happy Ranking,

i use social bookmarks minsterwrong,jumptags, spurl,bibsomony, linkagogo,buddymark,and a1 webmarks are these effective?

 

go slow. lie low. You will get to the race late but will be there for time to come. That is the white hat way.

 

Silly question.

Create quality content, develop backlinks on quality sites, and optimize keywords once google starts hanging around your pages more.

 

Backlinks, keywords, good content, pretty basic.

 

Plenty of good comments, but if you have a e-commerce sitemake sure you combine links. PM if you do not understand.
