Good article Tom. It's good to see that someone who has a least a portion of the public's ear understands and "gets it", writing an article on how the systems really works.

It seems that, for the most part, the "gurus" out there don't "get it". They preach SEO from the stand point of constantly trying to out smart the search engines at their own game. Constantly trying to stay one step ahead of the search engines is a losing battle.

There's no way anyone is going to out smart the brain trusts that Google, Yahoo and the others employ. Anyone who says they know how to beat the algorithms used by the search engines is lying.

If one wants a web site that really works then, as you say, "Content Is King". The way to make the search engines like you is to over deliver on your content. Of course there's a bit more to it than just content but content is the engine that makes all of the other parts work together cohesively toward a common goal, results.

There's a company out of Canada that has put together a complete suite of products and tools to make web site building a productive endeavor. They provide EVERYTHING necessary to make it possible for anyone from a complete novice to experienced webmasters to build web sites that constantly out perform those built using even the best known "services".

With more than 60% of their client's sites ranking in the top 3% of Alexa rankings, I'd say they're on to something. When a complete web site building novice, that would be me, can build a web site in a very competitive niche and rank in the top 2% in less than 8 months, I'd say that's pretty darn good. Wouldn't you?

If anyone is interested in building a web site that not only looks good but actually delivers results you can check them out at http://www.sitesell.com/erudition.html Simply put, their system works. If, after honestly checking them out, you don't agree then I really do wish you good luck in your efforts. You're going to need a lot of it.

It is crucial to use an Internet Marketing professional to get the most out of your Online Promotion. Getting to the 1st page of Google (which is the most important thing most businesses can do to increase sales) does happen for those who have an integrated and comprehensive strategy.

For a niche site, my site ranks very well on search engines. Most of the search terms I target return page one results - handmade silver jewelry, custom made silver jewelry, silver chain etc. There are several reasons. The number of incoming links, the age of the domain and the on - page content are key. There are no short cuts. On page optimization is important; but without the other two factors in play it just isn't enough. The age factor is huge; newer sites can never overcome this. I have seen sites with horrible content at the top of the listings simply because the domain was the oldest in the group of sites on page one.

I am shocked the article said nothing about link building.

I would rank a very close second behind content but far above the other items you mentioned.

this is a pretty good article on (SEO) link building. I hope this helps out someone.

I like the article and use seo with my site Free Dish Network Installation http://dishinstall.synthasite.com

The search " Free Dish Network Install" does best for me on Yahoo and MSN, but Google seems to prefer the old sites that don't update as often, a little confusing.

Great article....The more you read, the more you learn....Wordpress blogs are great for getting top search results fast. david Great for beginners...

My business partner and I just started a clothing line company very recently called Ryce: Revolutionary Young Cultural Effect. Our shirts include sayings that have double meanings like Let's Pho. My business partner is in charge of the website and he's constantly telling me that "Content is King".
Within our niche, we're number 1 already and we're very new in terms of a few months only. I always read everywhere online that cross-linking with other websites that are very similar to yours is also key. You can type in a keyword that is similar to your website and then ask the other websites that show up if they'll link to you. Most of them will want you to link back, and I heard this is a good way to get your website up in the rankings of the search engines.
You can find us at http://www.ryce.biz and if you can figure out how we got to number one, please let us know. Cuz I don't, haha. Thanks
