Good points Dan, I didn't mean that the traditional in-page strategies were useless; I was just trying to suggest that many SEO specialists are highly aware of these strategies, and therefore it's crucial to diversify your strategies and off-page strategies is the way to go. However, I really do believe there is a growing shift towards blogging and social media marketing as a major resource for SEO'ers. Your thoughts Dan?
Wow! great info coming from n3o. I would like to add up to that one, good content of the article is best way to drive traffic also.
My advice regarding content is keep it real. Keep it natural. Don't spam. And you'll be fine. Keep keywords in mind but don't live and die by it. In the time you spent worrying and calculating keywords, you could have written another content item. I had a job where we would spend more time researching keywords than writing, which was retarded. I eventually walked out "Office Space" style.
