		<description>Yep, this is great advice!

Thanks for the info... I&#039;ve saved this checklist to my desktop and will make sure to use it for every new site I make.  

I was not internally linking... should make some good difference!

		<description>I already knew these tips, and they are all very important. It really helps to link out to other high ranking sites, and this is very often overlooked by many affiliates.

And speaking of affiliates, you forgot to mention that it is crucial not to have any affiliate link on your site (or maybe I missed it). Cloak your links every time!</description>

		<description>1. the keyword meta tag is pretty much obsolete from googles eyes but i still recommend you do it for other services out there.

2. What i do now is focus a page on primarily one term and then let the search engine results tell me the best secondary term to focus on. What i do is wait and see what the stats say are the keywords being used to find that page and i pick the best of the bunch. This allows me to take advantage of what the search engines think is the best secondary term and i can focus initially on the primary. Hope that makes sense.</description>

		<description>Enjoyed the post. How many keyphrases would you recommend on each page, for example the homepage? Is is it bad practice to be ranking multiple keyphrases for one URL? You also mention in your post that you have to add your keyphrase into the &#039;keywords tag&#039;. Is this not now obsolete in the eyes of all the main search engines?

		<description>Excellent post on the &quot;nuts and bolts&quot; of SEO!

You have something people want...

The search engines are designed &lt;b&gt;solely&lt;/b&gt;to help people find what they want online.

A great deal of SEO training is about the technical aspects - such as keyword density and placement - but as John points out in this post, if you &quot;keep it real&quot; and speak to your audience in an &quot;organic&quot; style all your own, it&#039;s quite possible for you to accidentally &quot;back into&quot; high SERP results. 

By speaking with real authority on the subjects that people search for relating to your product or service, the search engines will help people find you specifically - especially if you know how to implement the &quot;long tail&quot; into your SEO (which will bring you highly targeted visitors).

Thanks John! I&#039;m filing this one away and will refer to it often!</description>

		<description>This was a great reminder.  I have experienced having my ranking slip recently because I have not stayed on top of the things that need to be done on a regular basis to maintain my position.  Ah the joys of being a solopreneur.</description>

		<description>1. In the html code, in the h1 tag, have your keyword phrase in the beginning if possible. So if you page was about &quot;used red cars&quot; you would have something like.. &lt;code&gt;[h1]Buy Used Red Cars Cheap from ... blah blah blah[/h1]&lt;/code&gt;&lt;em&gt; (i used [ ] around the h1 because the html brackets would not show up)&lt;/em&gt;

As for the anchor text and internal linking, you do not want to do this for every page on your site, but you should have a few that are the most important, i link to them with the primary keyword phrase and put the links in my footer, away from the primary navigation. This way it does not confused the human visitor but gives the search engine the keyword rich link i want.</description>
