Top 5 White Hat SEO Techniques

1. Quality Content

When we first started looking at SEO as a separate entity to website build there was one phrase that we would continually hear, content is King, and its true. There is nothing more valuable you can do to optimize your site for search engines than offer unique well written content. A search engines aim is to serve up what it believes to be the most appropriate website for any given search to the end user.

Why Quality Content Sucks
The problem with the idea of “build quality content” is that
nobody reads it until AFTER you have established a
reputation for yourself.

Imagine we are the end user and we are searching for a portable air conditioner for hire. We go to our favorite search engine and search for the phrase portable air conditioner hire. In this imaginary scenario lets assume there are only 2 websites that target that phrase,
Website 1
Website 1 consists of a single page with 3 paragraphs of text. The text tells us that the company does portable air conditioning hire and gives us a phone number to call.
Website 2
Website 2 contains 30 plus pages all focusing on various portable air conditioning units that we can hire, costs and technical explanations of how portable air conditioning units work.
Which website do you think the search engine is likely to offer to the user first? Its a rather obvious example but it illustrates the importance of good content so your priority should be good quality content.

I disagree with that part of your other wise fine article.

text is what gets crawled

period

be verbose and you'll rank higher than a similar site (all other things being equal) that is less verbose.

How do I come to this conclusion?

Article Marketing
google that phrase

If you write an article and are lucky enough to get said article accepted in a high page rank, high traffic, trusted (by Google) authority article directory...

you will CRUSH a site that does not have those powerful backlinks pointing to it.

I'm of the opinion that a new site should NOT be written for human consumption unless and until it ranks where you want to be found in the serps

(this is a loan officer/ real estate forum so I'll decode the tech terms:

serps: in our geek speak it means Search Engine Results Pages

Google Trustfilter: that means the Google spider (aka Googlebot) has come around two or more rotations of the earth.
the first pass "you purport your site is about X" googlebot will not take your word for that, it has to looksee for itself

the second pass... googlebot see's that you still have the right combination of content and keywords and so far you've not done anything untoward like hidden text, keyword stuffing, getting trash inbound links from sleezy link farms

Now you've passed the google trust filter
do that one more time and if your competitor's website has not matched you, you'll get cached and will no longer have to prove you belong there... the other guy will have to prove he belongs in second place behind you

Every website needs different SEO tactics to increase the traffic. Meta tags, submission to directories, blog writing, do follow blog commenting and link exchange etc are some common practices. The content of the web pages also plays important role in SEO exercise. I focus more upon: Press releases, Reciprocal Links, Forum Posting, Post newsgroups, Article submission, commenting upon do-follow blogs.
