    As a seo do you know what's the most important thing in SEO?
    At first you may know the keywords are the best effect of seo,
    but soon you will found that it's enough good after a week's edit,but you web also have no effect in search rank. (and google also tell you content is the king)
    Then you will found you web's page rank may too lower.
    So you seems like found some thing to do ,to boost you page rank.
    But when just you did it with good mood ,some body begain saying the PR is just a game.
    After you begain to advance ALEXA,but soon there saying ALEXA have already been wash out .
    then and then.........
    So who can tell me what is the most important thing of SEO.
    And how can get the better rank!

    It's by far inbound links with related anchor text. If you have a lot of those you'll get higher rankings for sure.

    The most important factor in SEO is that the site should be made crawlable. Backlinks and great content means nothing if a site cannot be indexed by the bots (password protected sites and total flash site etc).

    I'd say the important thing is a holistic view of the whole thing! You cant pull out any one factor as everything helps to push relevance... urls, tags, relevant content, relevant links with anchor... I think if you focus on just one thing you will not get far. I've found the best approach is do everything and always work with keyword relevance in mind.

    provided you have everything else, indexing. your pages don't exist if they're not indexed, no matter how well they are designed or optimized.

    google does not index your entire site by default, unless maybe you only have a few pages. if you have thousands of pages, then getting them all indexed is the most important thing. it's also the most difficult, if you are starting out.

    While I certainly agree that SEO is the sum of a LOT of small parts, it seems to me that one of the most under-rated aspects is the title and description META tags of pages.

    I had a page on a site that came up on position 25 in Google for a competitive keyword in my niche. I hadn't bought a link for this page in a year, but after noting the consistency of the #25 SERP position, I decided to play a bit with the title and description METAs.

    The title tag only had one term in the search keyword phrase, so I rewrote the title to include the entire keyword phrase. I also rewrote the description to be an accurate 2-sentence description of the page, including the keyword phrase (of course!).

    After google reindexed the page (four days later), the SERP moved to #12, and has been there ever since.

    The moral of the story? What I did above is not the only aspect of SEO that should be focused on. Good (original) content, good navigation, backlinks are important, but do not forget (or devalue) the title and description metas!

    In my experience a good logical site structure, a sitemap page, a Google sitemap and good crosslinking between pages will help to get all your pages listed. Obviously sufficient unique content on each page goes without saying.

    yeah, it goes without saying you should have all that. but still, even so, google may crawl but not index.

    i think the getting indexed part is hardest because you have no control over it. you can control how your pages look, you can control title tags and alt tags and links and so on, but the only one who decides whether your pages get indexed or not is big g.

    I agree with you, google has crawled one of my sites every day many times a day and lots of bandwidth, but out of 2000 distinct pages on my site they only decide to index 150 or so. And it feels like I am sandboxed a bit because out of that 150 indexed I probably only have top 5 page ranking on a few noncompetitive keywords.

    Quality backlinks from old sites are most important for now.
