This is one of the few factor. The Patience is more important for SEO and need to keep working. When I too join this forum, someone suggested me to have patience and I follow the same. I never worried about my ranking and keep working and got the result after 3-4 month.. SO it need continuous and steady effort to rank well in SERP.

Although this is a very general thread, you should concentrate on specific techniques on SEO which you will use to rank higher on the search engines. 1 - backlinks 2 - article marketing 3 - blackhat marketing
It does get hard to stay patient & persistent when the people who are competing with you for keywords clearly use black hat SEO strategies. One of my keywords has the number one spot filled with a MFA site thats about a month & a half old....
This is one of the most common mistakes I've seen people doing these days. Nice tips, by the way. A little basic, but nice for people that wants to avoid making mistakes when it comes to Search Engine Optimization.
Anyone can get an article from the internet and post it here... I found exactly what you stated above on 17 different websites/article directories... Thanks though for bringing it to the DP Community... I was also checking out the link in your signature and noticed that on the website you have a HUGE misspelling of a word that you might want to change. IN the BIG, Bold, and Colorful letters at the top of your site, you use the word "Rabid" - I'm sure you meant "Rapid".
You're right all those tips are required to be successful but those alone won't make you successful. But you need those in order to build links.
Wow! this is really good... even for guys with decent SEO experience, you'll find that you've been guilty of at least one of these at some point.
Never participate in any forums which are not related to niche of your website. Participate only on related forums to get more value for your website.
