I have been thinking a lot about SEO recently especially with the fairly recent Panda updates Google made. With these updates these tips are very important. Tip #1: Creating content people want is your best SEO tactic. If you give them something they like, they will come back time after time. Discover what your target audience’s interest is and then give it to them. Use the right words for this subject and use them naturally. Help readers and search engine crawlers by using titles that organize the content of the site. Once you have great content on your site you can use blogs and forums to help boost visibility in your industry. Build websites with content that people want to read makes more people want to come to your site. If your readers like your content and share it with their friends this is what will give you a great position on the search engines not a website with a keyword thrown all over it and no content. Tip #2 The second tip, which is specific to the Panda update is to build links slowly. If you have a brand new website don't throw a bunch of crappy links to your website really quickly. Instead build quality links from articles and Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo and Hubpages. You won't have immediate results by slowly building these quality links but it will help you grow your Google ranking over time. I hope these tips help and good luck with your SEO endeavors.
