[...] I am not going to get into what they are all about (as it is only one of hundreds of SEO principles), as this is not an affiliate speal, it’s just an acknowledgment to someone who really knows their stuff and in my honest opinion is one of the foremost keyword experts out there who we have the opportunity to glean tactics from which when applied distinguish the amateurs from the pros.

Some folks say seo doesn’t even exist and was invented by google. The truth is that the algorithm is quite secret and can be deducted sometimes. There were many changes during last years and some others are yet to come this one. Finally, you may reach a good internal PageRanking and good rankings on SERPs with little or almost none link building, but only with the quality of site itself.

Recently I launched my own website. Naively I just assumed you put your site on the web and away you go. I knew nothing about SEO but I soon learned, it was a case of having to. The first month I had no idea really what I was supposed to be doing in getting my site noticed by the search engines. When the penny finally dropped and I came to realize about keywords and especially anchor text key words in blogs and replying to blogs, also I found one of the most important tools is original content on your site, it came quite easily in boosting my page position. Having said that, been stuck in front of a pc 24/7 and this is what it takes, is hard work. When I say original content, I don’t refer to writing about something that nobody else has, as this would be extremely difficult unless you have a new product that only you know about, I mean writing it in your own words. I have spent hours rewriting articles for my site and to publish them later on, which brings me to another point. If you have written anything new regardless of the word count, always publish it to your site first and then wait for the search engines to crawl it. Only then go ahead and publish it to the numerous article and blog sites available. This at times seems like you are waiting around forever but it will pay in the long run and while you are waiting write another. You don’t require a degree in English and to the professional writers who do write for a living in may appear sloppy but you are not aiming the content at them. As long as it is readable and makes sense to the public who are interested in your product then great, plus get your key words that are relevant to your site part of the article. When I started out my site appeared on page 27 of Google and this was out of 60 million results that Google pulled up. Within 10 weeks which does seem lengthy but it soon passes I am now on page 1. My other key words pulled up over 240 million results and I am currently on page 2 for this. I have had no training in SEO and I have not paid for a single thing in terms of links or help from any SEO companies. It is boring and tedious but you just have to stick at it, day in and day out. At first the rewards come slow and there are times when you actually think you aren’t making any ground but after 3-4 weeks I did start to notice my position gradually improving and this then gives you the boost to continue. It’s not rocket science but you do have to be dedicated and to have vast amounts of patience to accomplish your goal. You only get out what you put in and this is just the way of the world.

I strongly agree with the author and want to say more – professional SEOs can improve your site and save time, but when you have bad SEOs you have risk of damage to your site and reputation.

[...] Without giving away too much, link diversity, anchor text diversity and management of the discovery cycle for adding critical content and links is what differentiates amateur SEOs from true SEO Professionals. [...]
