The Easiest Secret SEO Tips

For the Gods of Google to accept your site, you must do more than offer up a golden cow. Here are the Ten Commandments to follow. Sinners will face purgatory with a penalty or be sent to hell with a lifetime ban.

The First Commandment - Thou Shalt Have Fresh Content

The easiest way to accomplish this is with a daily blog. One to three paragraphs of original content related to your site.

The Second Commandment - Thou Shalt Do Keyword Research

For each of your daily blogs, go to the Free Keyword Researcher on our Free Biz Tools page and identify a keyword string of 2-4 words long to title your blog.

Use the Keyword string in your blog content 1-3 times.

The Third Commandment - Thou Shalt Submit Daily Blog to Social Bookmarks

The exact keyword string that you identify for you blog's title will be used in each submission. Change up the description for each submission.

Here are the angels of Google that will help you ascend in the rankings and find a home in Google Heaven:

The Fourth Commandment - Thou Shalt Use the Site Name in the Title

The Google Gods want you to be true to yourself and not try to trick your fellow man.

The best way to accomplish this is to use it in the second half of the title. Ex: The Ten Commandments of Search : Sta.rtUp.biz

Permalink Reply by Bengo on August 28, 2008 at 11:16pm: There may be worthy material here, but you fail to say WHY, and HOW with enough frequency that people can only take you on faith, which is foolish.

If you rewrite this to do away with the holy concept and explain what a person should do, how they should doit and why they should do it, this will all come together.

As it stands right now, I can't accept a word of it.; ▶ Reply to This

Any ideas?
