Whats the #1 thing you learned about SEO?

Mine so far, is that the domain name is the #1 most important factor.


What have you guys learned from Google SEO?

 

I learned that if you have tons of knowledge in SEO, you'll surely have tons of $$$ as well.

 

"Backlinks" "Content" "Ön Page SEO" - FULLSTOP

 

And offcourse, optimized site to load fast in browsers.

 

First thing I leaned in SEO is title tag optimization. Then unique content and backlinks.

 

I learned not to overdo SEO and to do the right things in reasonable quantities

 

I learned it is not as easy as I thought it would be
no kidding...
on page optimation, unique content and title optimation are as important as
off page optimation like building backlinks.

Since my traffic and SERP's went down I know I didn't do a perfect job so I will have to keep studying and to improve my site.

 

Keep it white hat.

 

#1 - I learnt that most important factor is quality related backlinks

 

Trying hard to keep it White Hat. LOL
No automation for backlinks, comment postings, article submissions, directory submissions etc.
It's just freaking hard hard to come up with some really good backlinks from sites they have some decent PR.
If you have some good advices and you are willing to tell me, feel free to shoot a PM.

 

That there is no #1 thing; almost everything is equally important.

 

learned alot of stuff mainly do my own blog commenting most companies are spammers. Second rule is look at the reviews of people selling them.

 

SEO is all about relevancy and popularity of a website; not about spamming your link.

 

Keywords and quality backlinks OK so its 2 i dont think you can say just one thing really its many and they are all as important as one another.

 

The no1 lesson in SEO is that there's no point in being at the top of serps for a keyword that only gets searched for 3 times a month.

 

content, backlinks....and no blackhat

 

The #1 thing? — That's a tough call, but probably having the right keywords in the right places (title, etc.).

P.S. That assumes that you have good content.

 

Finding & getting competitor's quality, relevant backlinks.

 

deep links are just as important as those for the home page.

 

I may not agree to the first thing you just learned

Domain name have very little importance in SEO. If the main KW and domain name are exactly the same, then that domain may rank high with less effort compared to the effort needed to rank other sites high. But this is only the case for the main KW.

Domain name alone cannot help a site to rank high.
