SEO Page Optimizing in 2010

In the past, before 2006,  google used to take care of the SERPs with different algorythm which had nothing to do with those used now. Back then it was page optimizing, that made you dominate. The Keyword density, the meta tags and the titles where SEO. Backlinks had nothing to do with SEO and of course when the google algortythm changed and made backlinks predominant for the SERPs, a lot of sites whent from rank1/page1 to page 3 and more. This was a huge shock for SEO marketers and a lot of them lost huge sums of traffic and therefore, huge sums of money. Google could change the way he process the queries and the algorithm, but this shouldn’t happen any time soon. Although, like asteroids, a huge impact could occur at any momentbreaking all the laws of the SERPs algorithm and of SEO as we know it.

What about page optimization in 2010?

Well, we can’t say that Page optimization lost its importance in 2010, there are still many things that must be done on a page for google to like it.

The old google Algorithm:

• Meta tags
• Keyword density
• Titles
• Description

The new google Algorithm:

• Title
• Keyword density (3% is fine)
• CONTENT
• How long the content is
• Unique content
• BACKLINKS (80% of the importance of SEO)

In 2010 the content is KING. Google loves good articles well constructed, images, paragraphs, words in bold and 500-800 words work the best. Google gives a lot of importance to articles to try to give less power to spam sites and auto blogs. A good article gets indexed very fast and unique content shows google that it is a antithetical and unique content that has something new to say.

Factors to rank you site 1st for keywords in 2010?

Ranking has all to do with keywords, you fight and try to get a good place in the SERPs for certains keywords. Usually 1 keyword/phrase per page for best Optimization. Trying to rank for several keywords for a page ( including front page), is a bad idea, as it reduces the power of each page while you should spread it on multiple pages.

Once you have  good content, with unique content and keyword density ( keyword you want to rank on), you need to take care of the most important part of SEO nowadays: backlinks. Backlinks are so important you can take rank1 just by focusing on backlinks and having crapy content… But that is not a good idea, since the traffic will just bounce-off your site after seeing the content mediocrity.
