SEO, Where Do I Begin?

[confettiguru]

Great Tips. I always say, "it's a cinch by the inch". It can seem overwhelming to work on your website but just one or two things a day make a difference. If you have only 5 minutes, use it to tweak a title tag, keywords or add content.

Years later and I'm back to this thread again.
I tried following these tips when I built my first web site.
I eventually got top rankings with Yahoo but Google I just can't crack the first page, frustrating, but I'm in a very competitive market and keep trying.
Now I'm re-building the hotel site under a new name and came back to remind myself.
If anyone has fresh advice, especially for Google, bring it on please.

Did it occur to you that if you've done anything recommended here but can't climb to the first page of Google you've simply missed the specific tip for getting from # 11 to # 10, or it wasn't shown in the first pace? So why do you think that rebuilding the site under a new name will make it easier to beat the competition, as soon as you get to # 11 again? (The disguise?)

OK. So incrediblehelp wrote indeed:

7. Competition
Please recognize who your competitors are. If you are going head to head with websites that have been online for years and maybe even decades then you should realize your SEO battle will be uphill and difficult.

But this statement does not explain why the SEO battle will be uphill and difficult. And moreover, you're already very very close to the top of the hill.

Sure it does. The other website has history and time on his side and you dont. That is always problem one with starting a new website and dealing with competition. Search engines weight history a lot when deciding who to rank.

Yeah? Then how does one site climb relatively fast till # 11 and gets stuck there? And what about a website that has indeed history on its side - will it always climb from # 11 to # 10? And wait a minute, how did the site now at # 10 get there?

The tips and advice are useful. In the first phase onsie factors are important. Ultimately however regular fresh content on website and quality back links to your website will probably play the most significant role to decide whaich website rank on first page of search engines like Google.
