What should be the daily task of an seo?How much link building via forum posting,blog commenting,social tagging ,article and directory submissions?
good post...lots of different opinions. in my opinion, things should be steady and natural. get backlinks from sites with good page rank that are relevant to your niche. have updated content on your site or blog also. good luck!
If it is a good and succesful SEO, he just need to give some indications to the people who are working for him and then go back to bed.
Spend your time getting quality links that will stick and ideally that provide value. That way, they should be around Hi nd indefinitely
I never start out with a plan, largely because I’m an estate agent not an IT expert and SEO is something that has to fit around everything else. Basically I just try to add something or improve something every day, even if it is just to my knowledge.
Blog posting, article submitting and forum posting is better way to get traffic. I also use article submitting technique.
Any activity that needs a sharp mind, I try to do early in the day. For example, I find article writing hard so I try to write early. As the day goes on, and I feel myself developing writer's block, getting tired, bored, etc., I move on to surfing a few forums. Taking part in forums still requires some intelligence, but I feel posts are not judged as hard as writing a formal essay (article). Later, as I get even more tired, I might move on to directory submission. Directory submission doesn't require any thinking at all. All my material is saved in a text file, so it is just a matter of copying and pasting into the directory submission forms. I can do this half asleep. Plus, the value of directory submission is questionable. So if I don't do any at all in a day, no big deal. That is another reason why I do it last. (But it is sooooo easy.)
First of all I believe Blog Commenting and Forum posting is not a part of Link Building rather it is for Getting some referral traffic. Now I start with the following the: 1: Signing up in the Statcounter to see the traffic report and the conversion. 2: Checking my websites position on google's desired tld. 3: Making a note of some of the exit pages and try to finding the reason of exit. Since it is not that we can control 100% but if the page has some error or any mistake I analyze the page and fix the error or mistake. The other reason could be the page loading very slow, this requires working on images, css and js files. 4: Finding some more new keywords, I note every new keyword or phrase that send traffic to my site and after every 15 days I sort those keywords which has sent some good traffic. Then I work on those keywords to achieve some more good ranking for them as well. 5: Now comes the time to write or read the articles. Sometimes I outsource the article writing. 6: Reading the googlewebmastercentral blog is a daily routine if there is something new to read. Mattcutts blog and seomoz blog is also in my routine. 7: Participation in some forum is a regular activity that I do in my free time 8: I never did blog commenting except on matt cutts, google webmaster central and seomoz. This is something personal has nothing to do with my job. Submission work is done by my colleagues and I just review the titles descriptions used for the submission.
