I think alot of people these days try to apply too much complex SEO and do alot of manipulative techniques assuming that it’s really that hard to get high rankings. I’ve ranked #1 for targeted keywords using nothing but basic SEO. Here are a few things to remember with websites, basic SEO that will get you to the top, if the market is not too over saturated.

1. Domain Name - Buy a domain name, which is virally sound n by that I mean. Sounds natural to humans, don’t buy one purely for SEO strategy. Get one with one or two keywords, quite short.

2. Meta Tags - People seem to think these are useless now as if search engines discard them automatically because of all the malicious ways they’ve been used. They don’t, they simply have ways of assuming which meta tags are spam. It’s simple, do your meta tags properly, search engines regard them highly alot of the time still today if they’re not abused. Use a small number of very related keywords. Write a detailed, short, natural description. That’s it.

3. Good File Names - If you are building a purely html / css site. This can do wonders for the average site. Name your html files appropriately - simple and keyword orientated. Also sites usually rank better when keywords are uncluttered and appear in order. You’ll often find if a keyword appears first in a title it ranks higher. It can be that simple.

4. Good Browser Titles - Probably the most effective way to improve rankings. Decent browser titles, spell everything correctly and do not put unneeded keywords there. Simplicity is the key, it’s one of the primitive things that lets people know what the page is about. Write for humans but include keywords appropriately.

5. Quality, Unique Content - Don’t ever be tricked into thinking scraping content endlessly and paying for content creation will get you far. You might make a quick few dollars here and there but it will not last. Search engines are constantly weeding out trash sites with ‘duped’ content and they will continue to get smarter. So as they do, you should do to and the only way to get smarter is to start creating quality, unique content NOW so that in years to come, it’ll still be there. Still earning.

You don’t need to know much more. It’s really not that complicated, people just like to make out it is to sound smart and sell you pointless products. Follow these rules wholeheartedly and take them as rule of thumb. Focus, make free, quality content, monetize traffic and you will soon see results.
