SEO Help?
 

Whats the best way to get listed in and ranked top of the list in the top search engines?

inbound links..start there

Get indexed. Get linked to. Make your page as SE friendly as possible.

You can also have your site listed under those keywords that matter to your site by these so-called SEO gurus (avg. price I've seen is 500 to 1000 dollars a month) who own about 1500 urls, but as soon as you stop paying you stop getting listed... short term and pricey for nothing.

I actually explain what I do for a site to get it indexed in less than a week (this DOES include having to have the link on one of my oft-botted sites, but it works dang).

http://thepointenslutten.blogspot.com/ the older stuff isn't really relevant but interesting chronicles of how I entered and ran in SEO competitions, the results, some neat tools I found, etc...

CONTENT!

People don't seem to understand that SEARCH ENGINES INDEX CONTENT!
If the site has no content, how can it be indexed? If you want to be top ranked for specific terms, you need to discuss those terms on your site. The more the better.

Well yeah... content is taken for granted, I figure... If you have to point that out you definitely need a guru and false link boosting.

And by content generally its text that is intended, right? Not just a short non-spammy description in the alt tags, but what the hey - actual on-page text describing or enhancing the photo content, maybe a little soft-sell descripto, etc...

Content, absolutely... otherwise, you'll just get indexed (unles you have a million text links which is another interesting thing to add to a page... assuming those text links are content/theme relevant to your page)...

AutoBlogger Pro can help. Take a look at one customer's results here: http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/673487-autoblogger-pro-site-1-google.html

Well, for one you can trade links with me www.penilefitness.com/links/

My site gets on average 600-1,000+ uniques sent from raw organic google searches per day. It averages approx 5,000+ uniques per day on average :thumbsup

1) Choose your keywords carefully. Just like picking a fight, choose your battles carefully. Leave the heaviest traffic keywords to the big boys. Find keywords that are a) in your niche and b) does not have as much competition (ie., search results) but c) gets clicks. Use: http://inventory.overture.com/

2) 2way links are not as good as before. One way link is key but you have to do it right. Focus on link partners that are in your category. Focus on getting links from "trusted" sites. There's several ways to do this. You can manually submit to link directories for one way links. You can issue press releases. If you need customized help with manual submits to 500+ directory sites, visit http://www.webmasterlabor.com

3) Do A>B>C linking: Find webmasters with many websites that are in your category/niche. Ask for an A>B>C swap. This means, his site A links to your site B which links to your site C. Make sure the people you are swapping links with have a decent PR. You can check potential partners' PR here: http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

4) Build a LOT of pages and interlink them. Build QUALITY pages and interlink them using your keyword list for your niche. Make sure you write READABLE pages. Old SE bots used to scan pages looking merely for keyword density %s. Now they scan using counters for nouns, verbs, etc etc.

5) Use an older domain.

1st step should be getting a google PriorityID...

OOPS, Sorry. Here's a FIX to my earlier post:

For what it's worth content means nothing unless you can get people linking to it. And yep - you can still manage to rank well for competative terms on a page with almost no content related to the keyword - it's simply harder than it used to be.

As someone said - content should almost be taken for granted. If you have a site that'll convert and make good money it should by default have good content. Get QUALITY, related sites linking to you, have patience and build it up slowly and you'll do well. Thankfully few have the patience or it'd be much harder.

$5's comments are the most useful in this thread so far. :2 cents:

The best thing to do is to spend your evenings researching SEO. I did so for one month straight and I feel that I've learnt alot.

Although I might know the basics (I hope anyway) there's always tons and tons of stuff to learn.
