"Six Months!" screams Dr. Bob! I thought he might shatter a crown if I let him continue, Pinterest so I agreed to look at his website when I got home and get back to him before the weekend.

Yes, I do that myself. When it comes to my primary blogs, I post the comments, I post the content, I do the forum posting in my SEO strategies. You have a lot of control and influence on that. When it comes to article distribution and buying links, or submitting videos you don't need to be involved with that so much because it's not going to change the process.

Footer linking: Again, the search engines caught onto this one and ignore it. It looks too much like spam. Google and Yahoo have devauled footer links altogether. Footer links can also devalue some of the quality, relevant links that you have on your site.

SEO news If you follow most of the suggestions for having valid HTML code, your web pages will be more digestible for the search engines, as well as being much more cross-browser compliant. You should also do this after any significant edit of the web page - to ensure that it is still compliant.

Next, do some research on the sites that rank for that particular keyword. What are the top ten sites doing? Who is linking to them? What is their PR ranking? How old is their site? One of the programs that I particularly like is "SEO Elite" that automates these findings for you. It will cost you a little bit, but it will save you hours upon hours of research and give it to you in a report. Now that you have your facts, you can tell what you need to do to rank for that keyword.

For example, if your key phrase is "SEO tips", try to develop the content with "SEO tips" and not with other combination of the words like "tips for SEO".

When you have a new website you should ensure that the URL of your website has a structure that improves its SEO significance. The best way to make your URL more SEO friendly is making use of the feature found in Apache called 'modrewrite'.
