Thread: SEO tips

i find these techniques interesting. has anyone tried using some of techniques mentioned below?


1. place keyword in < h1> tag in very top of the page

2. place keyword phases as the first word in < title> only, and contain no more than 3 keywords

3. On your webpage, set your first graphic with ALT set to your target keyword

4. build a text based sitemap, add ALT if it is an image

5. OPML / RSS site map

6. bold or underline keyword (1 or 2 times only)

7. The key word/phrase should be used again very near the end of the page.

8. try to register a good domain name with keyword (I guess keyword in subdirectory is ok)

9. navigation menu on the right, since googlebot looks from top and left

Yeah. All these are quite successful, but don't forget that the more quality sites link to your website the better you score.

so great sites who link back to me has a major score? even if it's not related to the site?

Quality means related and with good traffic. But, even unrelated sites help out, though not as much. google.com is analyzing the content of these websites so you can't really fool them.

thanks naix77 for that helpful info!

Al those things are great, I use most of them and jumped 900 spots on msn in 3 days

Why would you put the navigation menu on the right if the Googlebot looks from top and left? Doesn't it make more sense to put the navigation menu on the left since Googlebot looks from top to left?

Just curious.

Most of those tips are outdated - especially for Google. While they may work for segments without a lot of competition, they won't help much in competitive segments.

Also, it is getting much tougher to get new sites to rank well. Older sites that rank well and have a high degree of TrustRank play by a different set of rules than new, unestablished web sites.

i wonder where i can go and buy an older doamin
