Do your homework
No matter which way the industry goes, it's always a good to do a little homework before setting sail for top spots in the SERPS.
I beleive it's always a good idea to reverse engineer a couple of the top guys for any given keyword no mater if it's an ultracompetitive or niche market.
By looking at their on-page and off page work, you'll get a pretty idea of what they are doing to rank well.
I still beleive it's about the links pointing to your site/s and quality content. If your content is quality, you'll get links if you go play in the traffic, and if you get decent links they usually be on topic, and 'cos they're on topic and they're good links, you will rank well.
If your content and offer stinks then your links will to if they even exist, and if they don't exist and you buy some, you'll get a big foot in your butt for doing so. If you're lucky you can ppc the stuff, bad bad content converts poorly, so your coversions are going to cost you if they come at all.
wrong
Sorry, but I don't buy it.
From this post it seems you are cross-promoting SEOMoz or you haven't done your research.
Marketing-speak like you have in bold "quorum of the top 37 minds in the SEO business" is just hogwash.
As someone noted above, the greatest minds in SEO are not likely to be answering an online survey on some SEO firm's web site, when that survey is a marketing ploy for the SEO firm. Especially when such surveys get mis-interpreted as this one was here.
I've never been a fan of Web Pro News, but this article really sets a very poor example of "news" coverage for the SEO industry.
Every One Knows
Hi ,
I have read all Top ten Tips for SEO ,
I think this mostly SEO peopel knows very well.
The Facts
The reason why I find this research to lack credibility is based on these facts.
Rand of SeoMoz Had a part in it. This is nothing more than a marketing ploy because with articles and research like this, it is meant to bring them in business, not supply us wuth accurate information.
Secondly, Why would I believe Rand? Visit the client section of SeoMoz.. Check out some of their recent work such as FareCast.. Who would actually search for those keywords in a search engine? Why didn't they focus on discount airfare, discount plane tickets? Why is ableservers.com not ranked high for the #1 seller... "Used Servers"
I can't say that I see any "Decent" SEO experience coming from this company. Not when you view their past clients and see the lack of optimization knowldge used on those sites.. So to in return, read an article or research like this that doesn't even mention Google being ICANN Acredited, Which a lot of which determines ranking has to do with the background of your business. Age, Popularity, Who you are ECT.
You can take 2 of the exact same designs that will have a potential #1 Position. I you promote that site on a domain that is 5 years old. You have a 90% chance of being #1. If you domain was created this year, You don't stand a chance.
I think these guys need to spend more time learning SEO and running their business instead of posting more articles that keep adding speculation to what "They" think works.
Thanks!
Hey thanks for the coverage...one thing is that I am Associate Editor of Search Engine Roundtable, not Land. ;)

hate it when that happens
fixed!
webpro news
Excellent article with great resources
web education
As an online merchant still new to this process of keywords,links and page ranking is there a good source for training that will help someone understand how to do the HTML and Anchor Text so one can be SEO savvy without going crazy understanding the lingo and trial and error process of being successful online? I have read many of your articles, I have had internet coaches all of whom have slightly different advise depending on their own experience. AND sometimes when I think I see what needs to be done, it still doesnt work or get the results I expect. IF this is doable why is it so complex? Looking for a good book,site or refence to get in this game of E Commerce. THANKS!
Comes back to a good
Comes back to a good product. It all comes back to product. Search engines are dying. SEO won't exist in the near future. But I don't disagree with anything here.
A lot of these techniques -- and all the bytes spent talking about them -- suggest people can't see the forest for the trees.
A few nerds might know how to rank well for certain keywords, but it stops there.
Learn about marketing and everything will take care of itself.
They forgot to mention
Run Adsense on your site and when you start making money, you'll move up the ranks quicker. I switched to Adsense and I've seen an increase in rankings, often taking me to the front page from the third page.
Thats Right I too agree

TOP 10 RANKING
It seems to be you are happy with current practice. Analyse what Google or Yahoo do.
Do you know there are many millions of pages that are not even spidered by them. Also, there are SPAM generators who are withing their searches. Is it a fair go. To make it worse, their PPC or PPA campaigns designed for HIGH SPENDERS, not for value for money services.
Are people getting a value for money service by them as CUSTOMER or as PUBLISHER/ADVERTISER. If, not how much value their services give to world at large.
We need to look at a better service, probably in a different angle. I like to hear from people who would like to contribute for this. Making a better world is my aim.
Whats New ...
So I go over the article but its the same thing again and again. There was not a single thing that was new...
It's not accurate!
You can put Untitled Document in the title tag, remove both the keyword and description tag, remove all alt tags, anchor tags, and in-bound / out bound link text and write your content with your Keyword phrase being the first at the start of the content and include it two more times within the body text of no more than 400 characters and you can still get a #1 ranking on Google..
Any one can ethically do the exact oposite what what is mentioned in the article and still acheive top rankings.
My question is, why do so many people keep trying to come up with an answer? I'd still like to see and SEO company bump Wikipedia off of the #1 spot. Then maybe we'd listen to the what may work solutions. Prove it and we might just believe it.
ofcourse
It all depends on which KW you are talking about ... try getting good rankings for a competitive Keywords by doign what you just tried explaining ....
