Hey Webmaster

Thanks for starting this thread! Great stuff!

Yea, I totally agree. Online marketing takes a long time and is hard work, an ongoing process.
Sometimes you can shoot to Google's first page, but that depends on the niche you,re in and the competition you've got.

The 2 most important things in SEO, like Webmaster said, is links to your site, and content. That's it.

So, how do you build links and get content?

1. Article marketing, like www ezinearticles dot com
2. Video marketing, like www youtube dot com
3. On-page seo, like keyword density, <H1> tags, image tags, meta tags etc
4. Press releases, like www prlog dot org
5. Social media like www twitter dot com
6. Google places
7. Facebook fan page
8. PPC (Pay per click) marketing, like Google and Facebook
9. Directory listings and citations
10. Content - well, your website should be about what you know, and know how to search for further info on it, at Google.

These are some of the more important methods, there are others as well.

I'd like to see your contributions.

Hi Adriaan

Thanks for your contribution to my thread

There are many ways to build website marketing, and your list is a great place to start.

I guess among the regulars in web marketing its general knowledge but did you know Google uses over 200 criteria items to rate your website!

It once seemed to me that once I have an attractive and interesting website the rest is marketing.
But there is allot you need to take into mind. What you do does not matter as much as how you do it.

H tags for example are better recognised by search engine bots than strong or pixel sized text and that's just how you choose your font size!

I also recommend getting your website checked by the (w3c validator - search Google) for HTML and CSS - it's a good start!
