Hello,

I have learned a lot lately from this forum about the tips of how to do the SEO to index well on major search engines. What I have learned the tips and applied them to my sites and blogs are link building (web directy and article directory submission), social bookmarking submission, etc.

So, what is the best search engine optimization strategy?

Do I still miss anything? (from what I have been currently using so far of non-paid marketing strategies)


Any tip is appreciated.

Thanks very much.

A short, practical answer for someone who read the thread in 2010 and landed here years later: SEO isn’t a single trick — it’s a disciplined sequence. The best long-term strategy is to (1) fix the technical foundation so search engines can crawl and render your pages, (2) create people-first content that satisfies real user intent, (3) show credible signals (author info, citations, first‑hand experience), and only then (4) promote and earn links ethically while measuring results. Several replies in this thread pointed in parts of this direction (for example on on‑page foundations and on monitoring); treat those as the starting map, not the full route.

Make the technical base non‑negotiable: confirm crawlability/indexing, use canonical tags and sitemaps, serve secure HTTPS, and ensure the mobile version is complete and fast — page experience metrics (Core Web Vitals) are now part of what Google uses to evaluate pages. (developers.google.com)

Create content for people, not search engines: prioritize first‑hand expertise, depth, and clarity; consolidate thin pages; show author credentials and sources; and update stale or duplicated material. Google’s “helpful content” guidance and its evaluator guidelines make it clear that people‑first content and demonstrable experience/expertise matter more than keyword tricks. (developers.google.com)

Promote smartly and measure. Old tactics mentioned in this thread (mass directory/article spam and social‑bookmarking farms) are low value or risky now — avoid link schemes and over‑optimized reciprocal links. Instead, earn links with original research, useful tools, case studies, and genuine partnerships, and monitor changes with Search Console and UX/performance tools. (developers.google.com)

Quick 4‑step checklist to apply today:

  1. Run a technical audit and fix crawl/index issues.
  2. Prioritize pages with user intent gaps; rewrite to add real value.
  3. Improve Core Web Vitals and mobile UX.
  4. Promote via editorial outreach and measure with Search Console; iterate monthly.

Focus on the system above single tactics — that’s what survives algorithm change.

In SEO, there are on-page/on-site optimizable components and then there are off-site influences (link building). On-site SEO in fact constitutes most of what real search engine optimization is all about. Effective on-page SEO requires honed skills that need to be developed over time and with experience whereas link building is a no brainer and can be implemented by the average first grader.

Get it? On-site optimizers have genuine SEO skills. They do not manipulate the search engines; whereas link builders are SEO wannabees' relying on tricking the search engines into determining that their webpages have importance due to the volume, relevancy and credibility of incoming links pointing to their webpages. One type of SEO is predictable, sustainable and powerful whereas the other is inconsistent and generally temporary.

The best search engine optimization strategy is,
as you know there are different steps in SEO ie
onpage optimization and
offpage optimization..
With these 2 steps,SEO is mainly focused rather than this,
you can concentrate on:
using keyword which you need to be found for,
submit thier article to social bookmarking,

Thanks for share.

I think that off-page optimization is the main if you want to defeat your competitors.

On the other hand you can do lots of promotional stuff by using it.

Hi,

In my own experiences, below steps would be needed for SEO purpose:
1. perform a thorough keyword research about your current niche and generate a list of effective keywords
2. using your targeted keywords in on-page and off-page optimization according to ranking factors (please refer to http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#overview)
3. As for backlinking purpose, I think contextual links from niche relative sources with right anchor text would be the best ones no matter you get them via blog commenting, blogging or article submission. :)

all the best,
