Nice post – basic but important stuff at the start – got an sp in the first title (reads understating).

Also links on the page can be optimised

Buyanswers looks good – nice work on the design

Teege – I use h1 for the main title, then h2 for the article title, and then h2 for sections in the article.

Are you talkin about buyanswerslinks.com? Its great, put in like 50 hours this week so far into that site. I have been custom coding a new backend for bbc and bal to make it easier for my writers and I. Thanks for asking..

I hear you Jon although I hardly ever use the h3 tag using H1 for the main article header and h2′s for sub sections. My articles never have sub – sub sections.

BTW – Hows the new venture going?

Teege – Your right it has a break. But I wasent 100% clear in that sentence. Don’t use the h3 within the content, use it to break up the content. Like in this article, I should have used h3 for the “Fast loading pages” and “validating” in the article instead of bold. Get what im saying?

Don’t really agree with this:

“And finally, you will use the h3 for anytime you need to bold anything within your pages article.”

A H3 as with all header tags unless changed have a natural line break in it. To use a H3 tag within normal text seems a bit spammy.

Could be wrong, might do a little research on this later.

Not a bad post, you covered mostly everything.

Link structure is very important. I always use siteurl.com/category/posttitle/ with my wordpress site.

5%-7% density for keywords on a page is the recommended amount, but my site has density as high as 15% and google loves it. I wouldnt go crazy though.

Be sure to include as many variations of your keywords as possible. The more terms you can rank for the better. Look for Abbreviations of your keyword as many people searching the net are lazy. These can sometimes be the easiest to rank for.

Any SEO should have the SEO QUAKE plugin for firefox. It gives tons of info including keyword density and such.

When linking to other pages of your site, try to link it with your keywords as the linking text.

I wrote a shit load more but it had to do with finding keywords and such which is not on site seo.

This is a great list and pretty much covers mostly everything you need to do on-site.

“Why didn’t I mention meta keywords in this list at all? Because they are extincted! I’m am 99% sure that google, yahoo, or msn don’t care about them at all.”

Google doesn’t need them and I don’t believe uses them either, but I’m about 90% sure MSN does. For multiple incidences, I put the exact phrase I was optimizing as a keyword and I bumped up 3-5 spots. A coincidence? Doubtful.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.
