Nothing new in that and a lesson learnt many years ago.

SEO is a constantly changing field and because of this you have to be on the ball all of the time, being willing to change tactics and strategies. Most people know now that content is king and as well as good link building, it should see you do just fine. Make the content relevant and interesting, as well as having good keyword implementation. I read somewhere that the average amount of words on the first page of Google was something like 1870. "Content is King".
hello
I earn my living with online blogs, for organic visitors is vital to me. Search engine traffic is targeted, excellent for promoting your service and products.
This is what I do not understand. The opportunities are endless. Opportunities as rampant as the abuse of all the free resources there are. Yet nothing is ever said or done about the potential to unlock what is an index of possibilities. What we end end up with are smug looks, ho hums and out stretched hands.
Why do we not encourage others to make the mistakes we can all learn from, if we share and actually communicate?
Yes and no. You can get a blank page to rank for uncompetitive key words. And in my mind that is more important than bamboozling an emerging entrepreneur with the need to write and write and write. Not all of us are that confidant. Google understands this and is a lot kinder to potential start-ups than anyone cares to admit. Neither do I agree with need to be constantly changing tactics and strategies. Google is a huge cumbersome beast that takes a long time to digest the mistakes we make.
I have been disputing this Content is King Thing since 2007 I think.
However I have recently had to change my stance. It is real. Or maybe I should say key word stuffing the title tag is not as effective as it used to be. What I always used to do was to stuff as many key words into the title tag as I could. This because it always used to work. I would then over the course of weeks months and years bleed most of them down into child pages. It always used to work.
But I recently had experience with a site that was particularly sluggish. After draining the title tag and adding the jumble of key words as content, the pages I worked on bounced back into the search results almost immediately.
Conclusion?
Admit you are wrong. Sober up. And try to do it right.
Wow, completely forgot about this forum until I got an email notification on a response to this thread. Haven't been on here, probably since the last response (which I see is 1 June 2016). Anyway, I agree with you, workshop. The days of keyword / title / meta keyword stuffing is over, it was over about 5+ years ago to be honest.
This is what I'm currently working on:
(One months traffic)
The world of SEO has change immensely since 2005. If you're interested at all in getting your SEO going, start reading right now, as it takes a long time to break through the "average SEO" container.
I'd suggest to start out with the more commercial blogs such as:
Moz Blog
SearchEngineLand
SearchEngineJournal
From here, you will start to pickup some new or unfamiliar words / subjects. Google it further, do more research and you will end up on the more informative sites / blogs.
Just a side note: If you don't want to specialize in SEO, you can forget about beating the top ranking sites as people who look after these sites do SEO day in and day out, however, I wouldn't say it's a waste of time for a small business owner to get your site SEO ready and grab some of the low hanging fruit LSI keywords. Either way, the knowledge will only benefit you, whether you're doing it yourself or prospecting an SEO company / consultant.
What has changed is that those that know, really don't want anyone else to know. That is if it has really changed. Doors that were open have closed. It has got more confusing, more difficult to find the beginning of that piece of string. Which is unfortunate because in most instances, for local searches anyone can still get their sites to rank.
It maybe a lot more sophisticated. But I do not think that the basics have changed. The search results still favour the small one man start ups with zero budget. They still favour those that understand one just plods along making mistakes and plugging away at things like service and community building.
That is the point, most users don't want to specialise. They just want to understand how to make use of the internet. But instead they get bombarded and bamboozled into believing it can't be done. Not so, it can be done. If you get the basics right. If you are prepared to make the mistakes you need to make, in order to learn what this is all about you can go on to specialise and to read all that has ever been said before.
Thanks a lot. i very appreciate it
The SEO is always work on your site and it is very help full for traffic.
