here is a nice post i found it in another forum ... just thought to share with you guys SEO IS VERY SIMPLE. [1] Register a domain name that relates to your keyword objective (not essential) [2] Put as much text on this site as you can on either as many or as few pages as you want. [3] Ensure the content is about at least the top 4 keywords you wish to promote [4] Ensure the header section of each page is at least slightly different to any other [4a] Ensure your page names include your keyword/phrases [5] Use each of your top 4 keywords/phrases in at least one H1 tag [6] Use each of your top 4 keywords/phrases in at least one H2 tag [7] Use each of your top 4 keywords/phrases in at least 1 page's header section [8] Use each of your top 4 keywords/in the text as text a handful of times [7] Use each of your top 4 keywords/in the text as bold text a handful of times [8] Use each of your top 4 keywords/in the text as a text link a handful of times, to either another page on your site that includes the keyword in bold and as text or... [9] Use each of your top 4 keywords/in the text as a text link a handful of times, to another SITE that includes the keyword in bold and/OR as text (preferably in the page name of the destination site too. [9a] If you link in this way to external sites, stuff like the BBC, google news etc and other highly "respected" sites is probably smarter than linking to debie does thampa .com [10] Get relevant links to your index page without too much adoo (if you can be bothered) [11] Get irrelevant links to your index page without too much adoo if you like ([10] is better).
Yes these are seo techniques but there are other off page seo techinques you have not mentioned here.
yeah ... these are some of the simplest and effective SEO .. good enough to get you ranked on top of google search well for some offpage SEO you can try - Directory submissions - Blog & Article submissions - Social Bookmarking review submissions - Buying high PR Links (at your own risk )
this is a beginer`s beginer tutorial , or what? :) seo means much more ... maybe you can write a book about it |
i dont think EVERY one knows .... some don't ... and it's also a reminder for those that knows ... whatever be with google trends or new algo ... these simple seo steps will be really effective ...
Yes, I believe this is a beginner's guide to seo It's a good list of advice. Put as much effort on off-page like you do on on-page optimization.
this is very brief but useful tips for newbies, but each tips having huge area of research and require great concentration, SEO is not simple.
There's no need to do this. You're far better off registering a domain name that is easy to remember, that's brandable, and contains at least one of the primary keywords you're going to optimize the site to rank for. This is flat out wrong. Search engines can (last I checked anyway) handle only about 100kb per page - including code and content. There's a reason why you should keep your file sizes small and your code as lean as possible - it's so the search engines can get to the content and index it. As for the content itself, one page per topic - that's it. Use as many pages as you need, but make sure they're as small as possible while still being usable (and useful). Wrong again. There is no magic number of keywords to use here. Yes, you need to include your keywords, but the keywords should be related to the topic, product or idea you are optimizing that page for. Define header section. Page titles should be unique, and the headings (H1-H6 tags) should be used to briefly describe and identify the content that will follow. Bonus points if you can put a keyword or two in there. They should also be short, sweet, direct and to the point. Ok, you're correct here. See my rebuttal to point 4 regarding keywords - what you're suggesting is borderline keyword stuffing, and will at the very least get your site flagged for human review. See my rebuttals to points four and five. See my rebuttals to points four and five. Also, define what you mean by "header" section. See my rebuttal to point four. Furthermore, this is the point where keyword density becomes meaningless. You're writing the body copy - put in your keywords where needed, but make sure the page is readable to Joe Sixpack. If it looks spammy - or written for the search engines, it is, and thus needs to be rewritten. Which makes absolutely no sense. NEVER write for the search engines. Write for the people who will be reading the page. Not only will you rank better than if you had written for the search engines, but that traffic you do receive will also be far more likely to convert better. That's the problem with writing for the search engines. Yeah, you rank well and get lots of traffic; but it's not going to mean jack squat if the people who find your site via the SERPS leave in droves because they can't read what's on the page because you've repeated keywords, bolded keywords for the sake of ranking well, and in general didn't write for THE PEOPLE USING YOUR SITE. I've said it before, I'm saying it again, and I'm sure I'll keep saying it until the point gets drilled into everyones's heads here. You can optimize your site for the search engines all you want; but if people can't access or use the site easily, and can't buy your product or service, or learn what you're trying to teach them, or be entertained by the site, then you have failed to do your job! Plain and simple. Wrong yet again (see my rebuttal to point #4 - yet again). Use your keywords appropriately in your anchor text. If you have a page about the drawbacks of buying a digital camera with a digital zoom, you're going to want to have your anchor text either reflect that, or just focus on the main keywords for that page instead. See my rebuttal to point number 8. 'Nuff said. Ok, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Unless you're trying to prevent other site owners from ruining their credibility... And so many people wonder why they're not doing well. Don't focus on the home or index page - link directly to the page in question (if citing a resource). If not citing a resource, then you'll be better off linking to the home page just to avoid upsetting the site owner and having them sue you for "harming their sales" even though the clueless miscreants (usually marketing departments and their lawyers) have no clue that you're actually HELPING them in the first place. Which will be weak and practically worthless anyway. Don't even bother wasting your time on them. Unless you don't mind ranking on page 100 for the terms you're trying to rank well for, that is.

I try not to, but I will when it's for the good of the forum (as in someone comes along and posts a bunch of misinformation - either knowingly or unknowingly).
Great forum, special thanks to DAN (the man) for de-bunking mostly all the tips given by s3o. SEO is not simple; it's constantly changing everyday. Techniques that USED to work (refer to original post if aren't aware of these) can become complacent whenever Google decides. It is important to constantly keep up to date on all of the emerging SEO techniques and strategies. The old days of SEO being limited to in-page strategy (keywords, heading, anchor text, meta tags, etc. etc.) are long gone. There is now a shift of power moving towards off-page strategy, which is growing in importance. Some of these techniques include blogging, article syndication and directory submissions. Some of these techniques do cost money, but when used properly (establishing backlinks with high authority websites that have a strong PR) can really increase traffic to your site.
It actually doesn't change that much, to be honest. What changes quickly are the legions of dirty tricks people try to use to get to the top as quickly as possible before the search engines find out about it and "penalize" them for it. Seriously, sometimes the old ways are the best ways (especialy when the old ways are the fundamentals - such as putting people first). They're not long gone. They're the core of what real SEO is. No matter how good your external (off-page) optimization is, it won't be anywhere near as effective if you ignore your internal (on-page) optimization efforts. Which as far as I'm concerned includes proper accessibility, information architecture, semantic markup, Web copywriting and Web usability measures being taken.
