When I join DP initially I had started a informative thread on link bait http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=824480 People really dont understand the importance of Link bait.Basically on link bait whole SE algo is based on. Thanks john for you description about link bait.I think you have a good hand on link bait. Do visit my above mentioned thread and share some experiences.
I like reading these SEO threads......but, I can sense just a little hesitancy in everyone's response.....I mean, no one wants to give away their REAL secrets, right? lol.....
Anyone who tries to conceal his "secrets" does not really contribute to this forum. I have nothing to hide. Those who fear of competition are already lost. Those who see the opportunities instead of the threats are more likely to win.
write a good content and make sure you blog/website is up to date because search engine like google like fresh content
Here where i work we focus on the usual but you can't beat starting with a well built SE friendly site.
There are not many secrets in SEO business - LOL ! You have to be transparent with your client to gain credibility.
I don't mind helping, but why give away what I charge good money for? I reserve my good stuff for my blog and web pages.
It's all about sharing everyone will get his bread which is being selected by God for him, so I don't thinks sharing ideas here is bad thing at all.
