Best Search Engine Ranking Factors

I came across an article that seomoz.org articulated, which included a great composition of SEO or Search Engine Optimization metrics. These stats allow you to see what are the search engine ranking factors and how to get your website to make the cut.

Complete Rankings Data

The following ranking factors were rated by our panel of 72 SEO experts. Their feedback is aggregated and averaged into the percentage scores below. For each, we’ve calculated the degree to which the experts felt this factor was important for achieving high rankings as well as the degree of variance in opinion, estimated using the standard deviation of the contributors’ answers. Thus, factors that are high in importance and low in contention are those where experts agree the most that the factor is critical to rankings.

SEO Fun with friends

People ask me how to pick the best keywords for their website....

So i usually respond with the answer that there are many ways...in fact some call it an art.. And at the end of the day, why not have some fun with your friends while doing it???

So you are going to need a bottle of wine, yes wine,....maybe a few depending on the fish ;) and you will also need a sticky note pad, accompanied by your friends of good character...

The object is two ask each friend, it doesn't have to be in order, have fun, a keyword or search phrase they might use to find your website when searching google or yahoo. Write each keyword or search phrase on the sticky note and then smack it on a wall somewhere. Try to get as many as you can.

Thank your friends for the help and in time pick out the best ones, top 10, and "stick to those guns."

Take care,
