+ Backlinks with anchor text (main keyword targeting) + Onpage with good optimizing + Natural links (no anchor of course) ..... anything?
Link placement speed. Quantity of backlinks. Avoid using you primary anchor too much or you will be penalized by Google. I might write something else but there are 3 main keys: Links On-page Links control Seems that's it )
There is no "key". SEO is an ever changing process that incorporates literally hundreds of different variables. If there were a "key" to seo that never changed, SERPs would always be the same and algorithms would be the same today as they were last week- but they're not.
90% links, 10% rest, make sure they look natural (not always the same anchor text), add them slowly over time.
backlinks that have High PR and relevant content that you use for your main keywords and site content. The hard part is getting those links from higher PR sites. because technically they'd have no use for a link from lower PR ..unless it was very good content geared at their sites content/ keywords. Link farms suck.. those are mainly crappy PR0 sites looking to spam the heck out of you. A basic strategy is to first do free directory subsmissions and article submissions to at least 500 to 1,000 sites. (the higher the PR they have - the better) Then use money to do professional article and free press subsmissions. You have to have your plan in place though, because these articles when published on high PR sites, will quickly fall back in their sites sublevel pages losing PR juice fast. Do all the free stuff and get as hig ha PR as you can. Then roll out the tanks .. strategize the whole field of paid submissions to freakishly high PR sites. and BE READY TO SEND EMAILS to ask other sites if they will exchange links with you then. Have the emails written and your targeted sites you want to exchange with already researched and selected. When your PR kicks up real high from all that stuff going on .. fire the cannons! lol and send out those exchange link requests. That way they will see you whe nyour at the highest point in rankings. and if you do the transition quickly and smooth.. then by the time the paid High PR news article / free press sites drop your pages back into sublevels.. all those link exchanges you made when you were up .. will all balance out. Juggling act .. have it all planned out in your head , on paper. - dont half arse it . Then send it into motion. ever play with dominos ? where you plan it all out , set them up - hope for the best and give the first one a flick into motion. Of course your dominos could just go in a small circle. if thats all you want to take the time to set up. Or they could do fancy stuff , over bridges, twirling and climbing. The idea to make them go as fast and smooth as possible with the biggest WOOHOO! factor. getting them to climb higher and higher is the harder part of it. Ever see dominos climb stairs? Imagine if you plan out a whole campaign like that ..and as its really moving , so fast , nobody can stop it. and it climbs all the way up into major AP news etc . Somethin to shoot for anyway. Thats my opinion.
Pagerank according to my seo buddy mean absolutely nothing and from what i have seen i believe him 100%. Expert seo's can find pr zero links that are 100 times more valuable than a pr 5 link.
I believe that In-Page optimization is the most important in SEO because if you do not have good titles, do not have h1 tag and others you won't rank for any keywords at all with millions of back links
