While concurring with the oft-repeated triplet “Content is King”, it doesn’t hurt to comply with SEO, which (according to me) is an alter-ego of online ads.

@Gopal
Wonderful post indeed.

Real SEO is not about tricks, it is all about making your “great” content found by users who are searching for that content. Keywords help you determine what users are searching for and help you write the great content that you have tailored to these keywords.

What I have listed above are basics that work – I have personally put them to work on the websites I have worked on and also on this blog and it has worked wonders.

Unfortunately, given the popularity of SEO, there are definitely some scam artists – here is a good post on how to sniff them out – 7 signs you should run screaming from an SEO consultant – http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/1466/7-Signs-You-Should-Run-Screaming-From-An-SEO-Consultant.aspx

Sigh, welcome to the world of SEO fixation. I’m sorta torn on this topic: is it really worth it? Case in point, the Google home page has lousy SEO but it’s one of the most visited pages on the web.

It’s my personal belief that content is king when it comes to web drawing power. There are enough SEO scams out there to fill multiple books, but when you take a look at the highly ranked sites (www.problogger.com for example) what makes them a popular destination is not their use of H1 tags, but rather their compelling content.

But hey, if your content isn’t all that great, then maybe the tricks are what they need to get more visitors, eh?
