    knowing the most important seo tips will lead to your business success. what i believed from my experience in getting traffic using the search engines is that using the proper keyword density and getting enough number of backlinks will be able to get too much targeted traffic to your site.

    Proper keyword density is just one aspect of on page SEO, but in my opinion, probably not even the most important. Having a properly optimized title tag, description and correct usage of H1, H2, H3 tags is essential. Along with this, making sure your images have proper alt tags is one SEO aspect lots of people overlook, but it's an essential part of on page SEO. I like to keep my keyword density to under 4%, and I try to have a minimum of 600 words on my homepage. Having your KW density under 4% keeps it from looking too spammy, but gives you enough to let Google know what you're site is about. Another one that many people miss is interlinking your pages properly. If your homepage is targeting blue widgets, and you have other pages on your site which also reference blue widgets, you should link the text "blue widgets" back to your homepage. You can do this to link other related internal pages as well.

    As for SEO & backlinks. Quality will normally beat out quantity, but a mix of both is a more natural way to build links. If you're going to have thousands of xrumer profile links and spammy blog comment links, make sure you have some high PR links to help balance them out. Combination of nofollow and dofollow links is another way to make your link building look natural to the search engines. Mix up your anchor text that you're using for your links and build links to your internal pages as well. These are my tips for the day. Do these and you will have a properly optimized site on page and off page.

    Keyword density doesn't exist anymore, it is completely diluted. Search engines don't base themselves on this to see if you are stuffing your keywords.

    As long as you stay natural and keep in mind that you are writing for humans and not search engines, you should be good.

    According to me,both On page and Off page are important things to do in SEO.If from these,no one thing is done,then there is a decrease in the rank of the site.So. both are useful to get traffic as well as ranking.

    ys above tips is good on page and off page is a part of SEO

    1. Glossary pages are good content for SEO

    2. Use footer links sparingly and only link to your most important pages. Don’t waste pagerank on content that is worthless.

    3. Keyword Research: Use Google Trends to check traffic trends in different markets. There may be emerging opportunities in other geographic areas..

    4. Bounce rate: 30% is good, 50% is ok, 70% needs work

    5. Most visitors will not watch more than the 1st image of a rotating image.

    6: 7 choices tops for your main navigation. Too much = no choice

    7. Buttons should never say "Submit". Try "Download Now", "Start Free Trial", "Request More Information"

    8. Text links in a page carry more weight than alt text.

    well said anna maria,

    you have covered all the stratigies about the seo and good to about the points u mentioned above thank you for giving information but i have to refer you few points to you.

    1) About glossary pages are good and dnt use much glossary pages , in glossary the given content is important and google gives more importance to data.

    2)footer links is more important to pages but but if dnt use more footer links ,google consider that page as spam ,so dnt use much footer links to crawl.

    3) For every article key word density is important.sooo keyword density wil be 3% to 7 % in a article.

    Thank you.

    Keyword density is a dead horse.

    You really need to focus on your on page optimization; in other words, having the keyword in the title, the URL if possible, in your H1 H2 H3 tags, and utilizing your keyword as anchor text when setting up the back links to your site.

    Don’t fool yourself; SEO does it work. For building correct back links to your site using your keyword as anchor text on other sites and blogs are relative to your topic, you’re going to see a significant improvement.
