It seems that the core of SEO remains at two things: text and link.

To me, your interesting post has boiled it down to moderately keyword-enriched relevant topic and text links form unique IPs with valuable content, ....

Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks ,,,,

your post is really great and interesting. After reading this article, i am very much confident with search engine optimization and techniques. thanks buddy...

It never hurts to re-iterate some of the main do's and dont's, although i'm still a little unsure to the importance of anchor text as I don't see a great use of it when users post comments on sites such as webpronews.....be great to get someone's opinion on this?

As a whole articles lines are known essentials and appreciated but most of the things are left still.

SEO Copywriting, or to give it its full name, search engine optimization copywriting or search engine copywriting, is the technique of writing the viewable text on a web page in such a way that it reads well for the surfer, and also targets specific search terms. Its purpose is to rank highly in the search engines for the targeted search terms.
As well as the viewable text, SEO Copywriting usually optimizes other on-page elements for the targeted search terms. These include the Title, Description and Keywords tags, headings and alt text.

Great Post.

Thanks..

Good tips, especially keyword density. Honestly, I read SEO articles all the time. Everyone has different outlook and advice. It can be very overwhelming to someone who is not an SEO expert. I thought Google webmaster tools and their guidelines is where you are suppose to focus your attention. I suppose you just rely on trial and error.

Thanks for the information and tips.

.. as well as H1 tags, keyword related domain names, key-worded (and true to picture) alt image tags, don't forget thorough internal linking, and "beg, steal, and borrow, + buy" key-worded anchor links from quality sources.

You can throw in "old fashioned" means of advertisement to the mix to promote your domain. If someone goes online and enters your address they saw on a billboard or in newspaper it becomes somewhat proxy SEO.

If your website has something to give to visitors (quality information, I mean) and you put in a lot of work (or money) then possibly one day you'll see yourself on the first page of Google!

Interesting talk about w3c validation, I suppose it does have it's benefits, maybe not a great deal for SEO but it got me thinking and I decided to create this post- http://bluelightseo.co.uk/blog/?p=23

All he said was--- validate your code if it is important to you, but there is little evidence to prove that it matters for SEO. I don't see where he was advising against it?

None of my site are validated and my cleaning business consulting website has been #1 on Google for years. I hand coded it 5 years ago.

Very nice tips.. especially your tip on the keyword density. Lot of people around believe that keyword density is crucial. hope this clears the doubt and bloggers will not be shoving keywords where there is no need for one.

I totally agree with everything seomoz guy said. Links are the essence of SEO today. I can rank a website without mentioning the keyword anywhere based only on backlinks.

Thank you Mike for the clear explanation of SEO Ranking Factors.

I think that the post of Jeffery Smith & KernelPanic added some more aspects on this issue and should be taken in mind.

There are two things that I want to add:

1) Nobody ever claimed that W3C will get your site rank higher, but EVERYBODY claimed that if your site passed W3C it will be readable by different browsers, let's say that your site IS NOT W3C compliant and let's assume that you have a monthly traffic of 500 and only 4% of them use a different kind of browser that your site does not support well, then you have lost 20 potential costumers.

2) One VERY important thing that was skipped here is CONTENT, good content will attract visitors even if your overall rank is low.

Finally, there is no way to comply with every search engine specifications, each one have different ways to "see" your site, the only thing that is equal is TEXT.

You should also ask yourself the WHY you build your site, did you build it to amuse the visitor or to sell yourself.

I decided to build my site by the rule of "less is more", plain HTML and almost none javascript and none of the new ways of making a site, my site is not a shiny site but it does what it should do... SELL FOR ME.
