Good list. Of course participating in SEO is important, but if you're going to do it you might as well do it right! Getting traffic to your site is great, but in order for that traffic to convert you need to have a website that is user friendly and filled with good content.

Having very little knowledge of SEO i have been doing a lot of research and have quickly learnt that if you can get a grasp of the basics and dedicate the time to learn new tricks it will inevitably be fantastic for your business. Great Site and Blogs

This is a terrific post loaded with content-rich links. Thanks for sharing all these resources and tips. I found this link through Twitter and I am retweeting to help share your great post. I had a meeting with a client having SEO issues with his competition. I may be giving you a call to get you on the project. Thanks again for the great post!

Glad you enjoyed the post Kelly! It's always nice to know that the stuff we write is truly helpful to others. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your client!

Nice article, only if the clients would have read that!
Thanks!

Loved the read. There is always something good at the Searchengineguide :) Thanks!

That's an extremely valuable list. As you mentioned when it comes to content, not only does it have to be unique for me, it has to be superbly written. Good content is one, but when it's really great chances are just so much higher that visitors will share the article link to others. By having this extra traffic / new subscribers / extra sales is definitely worth creating top-notch content.

That may just be the richest blog post per word count I've ever read. I could spend a few hours reading through all of the education in the links.

Thanks, Stoney!

Good stuff! Also true internationally. Being rather new to SEO (in business 1 year), I am daily struggling with long lists of activities for SEO and having to decide on what is most urgent and also most effective in the long-run. This article puts some things into perpective, thx!

Love the reference all the way back to "Old School SEO". Funny enough the absolute basics from 2000 still work today. Why? Because a solidly built site with the right intentions should always perform well.

That said, it's nice to be able to point back to pieces written that far back and say... "That was nonsense then, why do you still believe it?" I guess even SEO will forever have its own old wives tales.

Excellent post, you hit some step-by-step key points. There is quite a bit that goes into SEO. That includes Comedy.

I particularly agree with the long term SEO goals, after all it is the art and science of doing a million things correctly! Thanks for the roundup. Not entirely convinced that Analytics is more important than algorithms, particularly with all of Google's updates.

Definitely a must read list before visiting a customer looking for SEO services! Most customers want quick fixes and low costs, its all about getting them to understand about including SEO from the start and as a long term investment with the highest ROI.

It is easy to say, but in reality is a lit bit different. We are not so god in writing stories , investing in right things and doing a great things . But this story gives a hope and keeps us going.

Great information, I always remind my clients that getting rankings is good, getting traffic is better! Not sure that I agree with the Will Farrell remark, didn't you ever watch Old School?

Richard, if you followed the link you'd have your answer. :)
