SEO is a beast. In most cases, latecomers are threatened by it. They will come out ahead though if they have good content. That is helpful but I have consulted with how to experts on SEO and they say you have to get links to your site too.

It is a shocking revelation. I hope that is not too far off the track but it happens more than you know.

Clearly, no detail when it comes to SEO is too small. The odds of that are minuscule. My SEO efforts were aided by quality content.

I don’t necessarily agree with you when you say to ignore SEO. There is definitely two ways to do SEO the “good” way or “bad way” also known as white hat and black hat (like the western movies). White hat SEO services just help optimize your content to that it looks its best to the search engines, no tricks, your content will always be your biggest asset. There are also many ways to build links that aren’t spammy. I included a link through this blog post to my site, do you consider this spam? I have now written well over 50 words and have contributed to the content of your site, in my opinion this is not spam.
however, regardless of the debate of blog spam, directory submissions and links through article submissions are great techniques to get better rankings without being accused of being a “black hat” seo.

If you know what your doing, and take your time and write good content (like you mentioned) SEO can make you a ton of money… its hard to argue conversion rates and site traffic. This is what increases with a good SEO provider.

Can't argue with that although any good "SEO'er" knows that fantastic content is an essential part of good rankings. As you say, reciprocal links (whilst being better than no links) don't add a lot of weight to rankings. One-way links are much better. If you get lots and lots of links to a website, the anchor text of those links is more important than the content of the site's content. As evidence of this, type the words "click here" into Google. The top result is the Adobe Reader download page, even though the phrase "click here" isn't present anywhere on the site! All those links saying "click here to download adobe acrobat" are evidently more important to Google that what is written on the page! daniels last blog post..Google Local: Address Alteration Destroys Ranking

I kind of agree with you here. It's touch and go. SEO works for some people, but not for others. I found it always seems to work well in industrial/handyman and home decor/furnishing niches, but some have been really unsuccessful, i.e. low conversions. Davids last blog post..SEO Help

I don't know who told you that all you had to do for SEO is get a bunch of reciprocal links...reciprocal links are not really a good strategy for link building. They are easily detectable by the search engines and will penalize your site before they help your site. Georges last blog post..Google Rolls Out Longer Meta Description Snippets

A good point. But I can’t help but question the use of the KeywordLuv plugin, other than drawing readers to leave comments to visit the page.
