There are too many billions of dollars at stake for cheap tricks to raise search engine rankings for long. Combine great content with great SEO instincts and bang... you're website traffic will skyrocket. Here are some common tips, you may have heard, but are worth repeating. Website Design - SEO Strategy If you can't highlight and grab the text off of your website - look out! If you can't grab it and paste it into a document, how do you think a search engine is gonna read it put it in their search engine. Sure, people will tell you, don't worry, the search engines index it not problem. Maybe they are right, my gut say Watch Out! Keep it simple! Keyword Selection - SEO Strategy You can spend hours researching your keywords, try lots of combo's and still get zero results in the search engines. What the problem? CONTENT! The key words and the content have to flow together. For example, if you write about dog grooming and switch to a few cat grooming examples, you may defeat your SEO efforts.

Meta Tag Mania - SEO Strategy There are tons of meta tag how to's to read and confuse you.

For example, "I'm ah, going to be in the area this evening, and wonder if you would ahh. oh yeah and I just rebreed something... ah, what was I trying to say is ahh, there's a nice film tonight if you would like to ah... Now compare that speech that never got to the point with, "Look girl, I think you’re beautiful, would you like to see a movie with me?" And shut up!!! Copy Writing - SEO Strategy Ditto for the copy writing - less is more. Pretend you're writing for NPR. What do they do? They tell you what they are going to tell you, tell you what the have to say and then tell you what the told you. NPR are no dummies, if that's what they do, it must be good so jump on the band wagon and blow your trumpet.
