Tucson SE Internet Marketing, Local Business SEO

Today I figured I’d throw down some seo tips, ideas, questions; basically just a list of random thoughts on my mind.  Some of these thing I have ironed out on this blog, some still need to be addressed.

1. NO duplicate title tags, Title Tags 8 words max Preferred.
2. NO duplicate meta information.
3. NO duplicate content.
4. Use H1 and H2 tags on all pages.
5. Make use of <em>, <i> and <b> on choice key phrases, subtitles, etc.
6. It’s not bad to link out, I will avoid linking out to direct competition.
7. Target Keyphrases should make up no more than 6% of total word count
8. Each page should encourage the reader to visit another (good content)
9. External Homepage links should never pull more than 5% of your total traffic away
10. This also goes for advertising programs like adsense (always should be a users last option)
11. Shoot for four page views minimum per visitor.
12. Give reasons to re-visit, consider the use of “the daily picture, video, comic or joke”
13. Provide something nobody else provides, push past the competition
14. Sensitive form data should always be protected with ssl
15. Nofollow or 302 redirect obvious link purchases.
16. Some a-hole competing websites will narc on you.
17. Diversify your link building methods.
18. Enough spam will get you de-indexed no matter who you are.
19. If you dont have a blog, set one up, it’s easy.
20. Publish fresh content several times a month.
21. PPC advertise your favorite webpages to those who will link to it.
22. Provide news updates about your company through press release services

25. Directories that matter, Yahoo.com, Business.com, DMOZ.org
26. Most fortune 500 companies do not use shared hosting
27. Inbound links and domain age grow trust with time, you can purchase aged domains.

29. How long would it take to build 100 natural links by asking for them?
30. How long would it take to build an awesome resource that attracts 100 links a year?
31. Affiliates need to work even harder to provide the best content; prove you belong on top, not the company your affiliated with.
32. The more you update a blog, the more readers and rss subscribers you will earn.
33. Phone numbers are good, fax numbers are good, chat now! options are good.  Credibility and Trust!
