Does Traditional SEO Still Work?

Attaining First Page or First Place Results

Attaining excellent SERPS for most terms is a matter of dotting all you i's and crossing all your T's from an SEO prospective.

Keep your content relevant and focused on your targeted phrases, using their semantic equivalents as well.
Keep keyword density between 3 - 5 %.

ALWAYS USE h1 with your targeted phrase
h2 other relevant and semantic topic headers

Make your title, and description 100 % relevant to your page content
Keep you site navigation themed and focused.

Use image alt txt

Build quality links from relevant sites in your industry.
Link out to a few authority sites

Get listed in DMOZ and Yahoo Dir

Once you feel you have it all covered, leave it alone, dont keep optimizing the page. Build links for a month or two.

You should see a near immediate jump in SERPS after the SE's next cache of your pages, and a continued increase over the next few months.

Good luck

Yes, you are right

You are right in the points , but the article needed to be bit more lengthy with more examples. And as others, I am surprised by your listing in google trends.

Hi Andy, I have a question regarding this article which is a little off topic. I found this page referenced in Google trends - Do you have any insight into why this article has appears there, as apposed to the vast amount of other search engine optimization articles written in 2006? This probably isn't the best place to ask... But worth a shot ;)
