SEO : The Magic Bullet
• SEO Ignoramus
Now that I’m active on forums I’m noticing all these guys (and presumably gals) who are looking for SEO Magick: what do I need to do so that my pages will rise high in - Google of course, naïve webmasters are so ready to dismiss other SE traffic as it isn’t, um “cool.”
Here’s a comment that I left on Digital Point:
You want things like the meta keyword and description (not all that important but if you can automate them worth dealing with), page URL and title element to match the specific content of each page.
With mature content management systems - like Movable Type and WordPress - this isn’t hard.
Not that it is magic: but it doesn’t hurt.
What you put on the pages has to be distinctive - I’d never dare say good - so that it grabs someone’s attention.
The most SEO optimized pages in the universe aren’t going to do much if all you do is announce that water happens to be wet.
