SEO tips:

1. submit your site map to Google and Yahoo. This provides spiders with a set of directions and “personal” invitation.

2. Add HTML title tags to each page. Each tag becomes a Google listing, thus providing many more site access points. That’s why, if I search “Harry Potter” on Google, one listing on the first search engine results page (SERPs) will be for Amazon. If I click on it, I’m taken directly to the Harry Potter page rather than coming through Amazon’s front door.

3. Even though meta data stays the same from site page to site page, add it to every page. SE bots are none-too-bright.

4. Avoid keyword stuffing. 2-3% is good. Anything over 5% starts to sound like gibberish.

5. Use embedded text links in the main texts of your site. Search engine spiders follow links, so if you give them a lot of links within your site, spiders stay longer, index more and provide a more accurate picture of your site.

6. Use your HTML description tag to appeal to humans, not spiders. The description tag content appears directly under the blue link for your site on SERPs.

7. Avoid anything that even hints at black hat tactics, i.e. no invisible text, title tags match page data, keyword density of less than 5% in main text; 50% in headers.

8. Place keywords in headlines, underlined, bolded or italic text.

9. Focus on your top five keywords and phrases at first. Then, gradually expand your list.

10. Finally, visit Google’s webmaster central. This search engine runs the web world so you might as well do exactly what the Googlistas want, and they tell you what’s legal (and good) and what isn’t regarding SEO.

This circle is actually one that a friend of mine (Herb) started. It is called "What's this web thing". We also wrote a review and an introduction to the social community as well.

Hello - thanks for the great list! I read about your site on a hubspot post, where you (eric?) were talking about a social/networking group that gathers around this website and i would like more information on that. I recently started my first blog, RunningShoesGuru, which provides high quality running shoes reviews and I already receive a healthy number of visitors (250-300 a day) but I really need help creating a network. I believe my site fits in very good with health/exercise/weight loss websites without being a direct competitor. please let me know more about your circle! greetings Ruggero’s last blog post..Choose The Best Women’s Running Shoes - Summer 2009

Good content. Just wanted to add some points here that may be helpful for those looking out for professional SEO services. There are tons of SEO companies offering different SEO packages and solutions at highly competitive rates. However, when looking our for these services, its important to not only look at the affordability factor but also what is unique about their SEO service and what differentiates them from other companies.

While choosing an SEO company its equally important to analyze the SEO company’s website in terms of their Rankings, Yahoo links, Google index, Alexa ranking and similar such factors which indicates the company’s expertise in the field of SEO. So make sure you are doing enough research and smart work before investing your advertising spend.

Thank you for great SEO and link building tips. I agree that link building process should be well thought. Not all the sites are worth to get links from. It often happens that webmaters forget about their sites and just focus at obtaining as much inbound links as possible. But the website content does matter much. Informative, regularly updated website has more chances to be linked to than a low quality site. Julia - Blog Finder’s last blog post..Value Proposition: Why They Should Buy from You
