And can change it and say it is just sarcasm. And I just found out something, This forum is no different than those forums in which a bunch of kids group up and attack any newcomer with their useless and stuffless posts, if they can't digest the fact they have got ****ty knowledge.

By the way, I typed your name wrong, It should be "Feydakin" not "Fedakin". But you are **** smart.

Soooooooo Long!

I think I just had a "Vasity" flashback.

I really don't expect much from people that use anchor text for a nickname.. At least he didn't disappoint me

**Mojofilter** · 02-05-2009, 06:40 AM

Now... I'm confused... What are the real top10 SEO factors.

**chrishirst** · 02-05-2009, 06:46 AM

I wouldn't worry about it.

Create a good site for real people is all you need to do.

Search engines have started to ignore Keywords meta tag. Therefore, you should be careful while using this specific meta tag. Most of the people end up over-stuffing their meta-keywords tag which results in lower rankings.

Moreover, sitemap has little to do with SEO Rankings. There are several thousand websites which do not have a sitemap, but still ranking on top of search engines. If your website is designed carefully, and is easily crawlable by search engines then you wont have any issues with search engines.

I have to question your logic here - since SE's ignore the keywords meta tag, then overstuffing them cannot result in lower rankings. Overstuffing will results in a lack of productivity and possible repetitive strain syndrome

Hmmmm.....

Maybe if you wouldn't log on and start insulting the regulars and their posts by calling them "useless" or "stuffless", you wouldn't get that feeling.

I doubt he was ever really interested in "sharing knowledge and learning" with us to begin with.

It gives me a headache when people like come on here and start trash talking the forum and it's regular members. If your words aren't good enough for him, other credible sources of information aren't either.

And when you start discussing with them and they can't even take the time to read through your posts and just start throwing out assumptions about other members, that's the definition of a troll.

And BTW @WH = I never stated I haven't "researched or optimized my sites" before, nor do I just "spout off whatever some SEO says". I read and gather as much information available as I can and I come to MY OWN conclusions and understandings of knowledge on the internet (and everywhere else).

The false accusations and assumptions just don't stop, do they?

Wow, not sure how I missed this thread... I can’t believe how heated it’s got.

Firstly, whilst Chris can sometimes be a bit blunt and to the point, he has made some valid points here it’s just that the million dollar man and co, chooses to ignore them – your choice.

The fact is that over the years many established webmasters have lost count over the number of self appointed seo gurus that frequent this and other forums claiming to be experts.

Steve,

Without trying to sound patronising, good web mastering over time is one big learning curve. Sure you can tweak, fiddle and mess around with page layout and links to and from your site to try and “game” Google into providing more traffic for now to a site than it perhaps deserves, but this is and always will be short term. One day you will wake up from this and the penny will drop that its all about providing quality content for your users not search engines.

I can tell you openly that there was a time I was just like you, chasing the ace, watching every minor shift of the Google algorithm, listening to videos from the likes of matt cutts, feeling sick if the algo moved against a positioning and jumping for joy when it all came to plan but... I can tell you that there is nothing sweater than producing really good content that users, not search engines, value. It really does always stand the test of time, it’s a cliché but it’s true.

If you fail to build quality you have no long levity, search engine algorithms change, user experience may play a greater part of ranking in the future, heck something better than Google may come along, but in all, a poor quality site that ranks well is of no use to anyone, a pig is a pig no matter what dress you put it in.

In time I believe that you will learn this and rather than running around professing to be another seo guru you will turn up here and say “you know what, I now realise that Google is in the business of selling advertising and looking after its own interests, I’m now looking after my own interests and have been putting together some great content for my site visitors” – when that day comes you will have become an experienced webmaster.

Or as my husband puts it "you can't polish a turd"

Very nice post Rich and very reasurring to people like me who spend their time on actually writing stuff for their websites rather than chasing keywords.

**ThomasW** · 02-09-2009, 02:17 AM

That was basic factors long years ago.... Some of them still helpful but others nope...

Hahahha... no one knows. And if someone does know, their not telling because they don't want anyone else to be making as much money as they are from it! Until then, its all guess work for everyone else

I am on number 11 for "web design lincolnshire" in Google.com and .co.uk. But I was number 6 a few days ago, it has been an up and down cycle between middle of the first page and the top of the second page.

**Magnus Vogel** · 03-30-2009, 04:19 AM

The page’s title tag (include keywords)
Link anchor text (include keywords)
Use of keywords in the document
The accessibility of the document (can search engines see it and read the content?)
Internal linking (linking within your site from one page to another)
Primary subject matter of your site (consistent use of your markets language, focus on content)
Links to external sites (quality links may reflect upon you, but don’t overdo it)
Link popularity in topical community (do other sites about your topic link to you?)
Global link popularity (do all kinds of sites link to you?)
Keyword spamming (a negative factor, don’t overuse your keywords)

I am absolutely agree with #1 and #2 post, but i am not agree with chrishirst post, they way of writing was not good, it may be possible thatchrishirst have more knowledge about the seo, but he does not have any write to making fun of anybody other's post. he should be senstive.

**jamestl2** · 03-31-2009, 01:49 PM

What exactly do you disagree with?

Please give us a point-by-point rebuttal to show us the mistakes he's made...

**freeeaman** · 03-31-2009, 06:21 PM

I feel unique content is required to get good SERP and also should be a good SEO factor.
