SEO is difficult for those who have no experience at it. The good news is that there’s so much information available out there…most can pick it up with a bit of reading. The availability of outsourcing companies for SEO is quite useful.

Search engine optimization isn’t rocket science but it can be difficult for some. I really enjoyed this post!

On the first part, images aren’t indexed, I was wondering about using nofollow tags on those links. Would this preserve PR? Also on the second part. I am just getting into longer chains of keywords. I believe they are called long tails. Do you think that using then in the directory structure to a page like: domain.com/keyword-phrase-longer/ would be the best option?

The use of keywords on a page only has a very small relevance to getting ranked in the search engines unless there is very little other competition.

Do a search for “click here” and see what page comes up #1. It is the page to download adobe reader. This page doesn’t contain the words “click here” anywhere on the page. So how does it rank so highly for such a competitive term?

Because everyone that links to the page uses the phrase click here (i.e. to download adobe reader click here). So Google thinks the page is about “click here”. This shows the importance of the anchor text used in links!

It needs as well a bit patience depending on the site age.

This is some really useful information that anyone who owns a website could use. I also agree that when people have articles written to optimize their sites, they don’t care if it even makes sense or not. They just want it optimized for search engines. Thanks for this post

I think there is too much attention put on optimizing for search engines instead of optimizing for the people that actually use our sites and blogs.

Twenty months later and a lot of what the author says is still true today. But it’s certainly not as easy as this article would lead you to believe. If I had one good piece of advice to offer, I would say focus on optimizing a site for Google. If you can get a top 10 ranking with Google, then the others will eventually fall in line. Google ignores the meta keywords tag, but puts great emphasis on the titile and description tags so remember to use those.
