Link Building Will Get You There. The Other Stuff Will Make You Look Pretty When You Arrive.

…I could have tweeted this.

It’s so simple, yet very true.

Link building is easily the biggest part of SEO. Link building will get you to the top of the search engine results (in most cases). It’s the other stuff – like meta tags – that will make your organic listing look sexy to the humans. Sexy to humans = higher conversions.

Quick WordPress SEO Tips:

- Use your keyword 2 to 3 times in your Meta Description. Google bolds your keyword if it is what the Googler typed in.

- Get the most SEO friendly WordPress theme on the planet. I realize I’m an affiliate marketer, but this is no exaggeration. Thesis is the way to go if you want your WordPress blog posts to rise to the top of the Google SERPS.

- Once you get the Thesis theme, use all of the super-available, built-in SEO functions. i.e. Optimize your home page meta tags, optimize your site title, and . . . oh yeah, you really don’t have to do much else. Thesis is already doing it for you. :)
