SEO 2010
Such a random title for an seo post but 2010 holds so much for those brand new to seo. I will be giving every single one of you access to all of the tools of the trade plus a complete A to Z of SEO and what it means to you as a business owner. If you are already in the seo trade you will already be dissecting what i am offering. Thats cool to.
What i have learned in my my brief skit in seo (10+ years) is that you get to know nothing without a good read of the seo industry posts of thought leaders and those i have chose to feature on seo begin are by far and away amongst those that are at the cutting edge of what we do.
I would love to put a scientific post together about how great i was for achieving a ranking about a specific keyphrase, but that would defeat the object of what i do.
SEO truly is a game, don`t get me wrong .. all of those in the seo industry will share a lot of method, but we will never give the exact method, thats ours for the keeping. If we shared the exact methodology for exact rankings for your keyphrase.. we would truly give away our advantage. Don`t get me wrong, SEO is such a generic term that every man and his dog is using it to sell you his wares, but only those who know what the hell they are doing will deliver the results you are looking for.
2010 holds a different kind of prospect for seo, we are always at the mercy of the G algo change, the latest being the caffeine update for which us in the UK will not see ant kind of change until early 2010. Early analyltical data suggests that if your campaigns have been solid then you have no worries, i was fortunate enough to try out the sandbox before this new release went live and it basically suggested that solid linking and rankings would remain the same. If you were one of those practising the black art for 2010 you are buggered, plain and simple, you are buggered.. why bother trying to cheat and representing shite when in essence offering your visitors true value for the products you seem to be ranking for.
There is a huge short cut for SEO for 2010!!!
It does not get much simpler than this: ON site SEO
- Use the keywords you are targeting in the title tags
- Use the keywords you are targeting in the page URL
- For gods sake use the keywords you are targeting within the content you have just created, don`t get creative about keyword density.. sooner or later you will begin to rank. Why? plainly because you were natural about what you wrote about.
It gets simpler still: OFF site SEO
It`s all about the links, yep links… no not those ones that link from your YouFace account (i`am taking the piss) i am talking about those links that are editorial, those links that are attracted through the genuine content that you are offering, if it is worth linking to, they will. Which is where it gets a little tricky. OK so this post is worth linking to as a basic seo for 2010, that is all it is meant to be, i know though sheer volume that this post will be skim read to such a degree that it will attract basic links, those links that will link to it just for the basis of association to a relevant theme and i know it will attract about 200 comments which Askimet will block, this i could not give 2 fucks about because i know they are shite, but maybe you are starting to get my drift.
Link Quality matters
If there is a single bloke i respect in the link building world it is Eric Ward, he knows his turmoil inside out and standing on his head, Debra Mastaler is another who takes link analysis to another level.
These guys are absolute nailed on fact dedicated to dissolving links to the inc degree and are masters in the art of unearthing the hardiest of perrenials, i respect these time traveled librarians of internet global architecture and by god they fit into that methodology that we as ultimately link builders that we all aspire to.

Great post and thanks for the mention. I agree entirely with what you’re saying, Dean. In a sense SEO is getting easier for the genuine folk around. Write as if you’re talking to someone who is sitting in front of you. The content you create will rank just fine in the search engines that, at the end of the day, are trying to deliver the most relevant content to their human searchers.
