Are there really "Top-Secret SEO Methods"?

For us "old timers" (I have been promoting one web site for 6 years) we had a leg up on you newbies. I came up with a few
"slightly black" techniques that I used for the first few years
to get less-than-earned respect from the search engines.

But I knew that these would not be effective forever, so I made
sure that I was only attracting traffic that would benefit from
my site, and I used the time wisely to develop a lot of great
content. So I have kept my rankings even though there
is a lot more competition and my gimmicks don't work any
more.

Gimmicks will always be important, but fleeting. By being the kind of
site the Google engineers are honing in on you can be permanent.

For example, links were a good idea for the search engine engineers
but of course links can be manipulated to death, so they are
now less important.

I am constantly frustrated by the difficulty I have in searching because
the spam sites affect even my esoteric interests. These will
hopefully pass away and all that will be left are the Digital Point
crowd.

I hope someday to improve my newbie ways

lol yeah of course, thats why we keep exchange links

 

No super secrets, just the basics repeated over and over again.

Good content, articles, press releases. Giving your visitors value.

Then refine, repeat.

Thats about it. There are ways to do this quicker and more effective but it is still the same process.

Agree!!! there is ways to do it quicker by using some special tools or having some partners or friends who knows about seo. Doing a promotion alone is slow but more effective since we know everything we've done when doing the promotion imo.

and repeat the basis, link exchange, keywords optimization, create new content, submit some articles on other web sites, submit your web site to web directories yada yada yada!

Oh and another secret about seo : Patience!
