What's your single best SEO tip?

I mainly rely on writing original articles and spread them across the network to boost my site's SEO ranking.

What's your single most used SEO technique?

My single most-used SEO technique is to stay away from using "SEO techniques" and focus on building quality websites with quality content.

For websites tackling the local market, I find I can usually get results with onpage seo. For more competitive markets, you need links - ezine, goarticles, sb etc

Free SEO tip - don't try getting free backlinks from forums by posting meaningless content and a link to your site "for more info" . Forums are community knowledge sites, not free SEO boosters. Self-linking on your first post can get you banned.

My single best tip for SEO would be to write fresh content that users would enjoy reading. The time one stays on your site will make google believe your site is credible.

Tag the pages of your website with the relevant key phrases – This is a commonly mistake made by the webmasters. The keywords must be placed in the Title tag of your web page. Search engines give too much importance to that tag while listing your website in the search results.

I think the best tip in SEO is the content. If the content of the site is good and unique then you will see your site in the good rankings of the search engines surely... for this purpose, you will get help form any good SEO Services Company because any this company keeps especial attention to hire a good content writer.... in short, we can say that the content is king in SEO....

be realistic. most seo co's are not very honest. they promise 100's to 1000's of clients selling the same product page 1 in indexing. how many results show up on your search page? seo is but one part of a good marketing campaign. some places to look for additional marketing are facebook and myspace ads. don't spend it all in one place.

Don't tar us all with the same brush! As an SEO/SEP expert I take pride in the fact that I work with my clients to get them a return from their investment. I also agree not to work with clients from the same business segment without approval from the client first.

So perhaps you should say that some SEO companies are not very honest so it pays to check out their customers to see how they think about the service provided.

However, I understand what you were trying to say.

The thing is that you do not need to hire an SEO company to get your onpage optimisation sorted and you certainly don't need the SEO Co to organise your copy. You can get them to do a keyword analysis for you but then you should organise your web copy around this.

As an SEO/P expert I can state that it is much more cost effective for the site owner to organise the copy around my keyword suggestions because the site owner should be the expert. I can then promote this content.

So it's keyword research then Content (based on keywords)

I think the best SEO tip is to use of the unique content, if the content of the site is good and unique then you will see more and more people will come toward your site, it is also a fact that the search engines likes to crawl the fresh content so you should keep especial attention toward the appealing content for the users....

Quality backlinks from different domains. In other words, don't get a truck-load of backlinks from a handful of domains - get quality links from a myriad of domains that are highly valued by the SE's. And, if you can get those links to include your desired keyphrases in the anchor text - that'd be helpful too

mark this is not so. google caches web content and conflicting cache will drop your rank like a brink in a pond.

I guess it's quality and quatity of backlinks in all possible sources, so far it may bring you vivid results if you work hard on it

I don't think that updating pages will do you any harm with Google.

In fact if you regularly modify pages on a daily basis and then ping the services. Google will increase the crawl frequency of your page. You will then see a much quicker response to on page optimisation.

Sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
