Hey buddies, I have found this url http://www.planetarywebsites.com/Articles/Website_Promotion/31_Quick_Tips_To_Top_Search_Engine_Rankings.html with 31 SEO tips, I would like to know which ones really make a big difference for a good search engine ranking?

In my opinion: 1, 7, 14, 26.

I agree with those selections except that I'd replace 26 with "Don't use tables for layout".

I have seen that steps 7, 11, 14, 15 puts you quickly on the search engines with good results.

Steps are:


7) Include a site map with links to all your pages. This will help search engines find and index all your pages.

11) Use one or more header tags in your main page body and include your most important keyword phrase/s

14) Check the first couple of lines of the first paragraph to see if it's appropriate to be used as a description of your page. Many search engines utilize the first couple of sentences of the body text as the search results description, instead of the contents of the META DESCRIPTION tag.

15) Try to achieve an overall keyword density of 1-2%.
