Quality SEO for your site takes time. Don't employ black-hat SEO methods as this can lead to your site being banned. Build links daily and consistently and, over time, this will lead to more traffic. Stick to one link-building method and try to build 50 - 100 links each month using only that method.

You can get natural links even if you outsource your SEO. You just need to establsih the methods your  SEO expert or professional is using to get you ranked. Undoubtedly, you need to make sure they are using white-hat SEO methods.

I agree. A .com is a much better domain extension vs. the .org. So, it would be worth the risk of a little loss.

Well, I'd say for a quick way of obtaining traffic I'd focus on PPC and social networking. But, for longer-term results, focus your efforts on off-page SEO, or link-building.

There really isn't a set number of keywords to include on each page. Just a general rule of thumb is to include one keyword or phrase per every 100 words or so of copy. Be sure to read your content out loud and ensure it makes sense with your keywords included. You don't want it to not read well or keyword stuff.

I agree. Focus your efforts on Google as it is number one search engines, with Bing now coming in second.

Getting ranked for Bing is pretty much the same as getting ranked for Google. Focus on your content and your daily links. Together, both will get you ranked higher in the search engines.

Link-building is an essential element to increase web traffic to your site. Do this daily and consistently to get your site ranked high in the search engines. Ways to do this include forum posts, blog commenting, and article marketing.

Still, the basic rules of SEO apply. Building links and quality content are the essentials to getting your site ranked.

Yes, you can study SEO and learn it on your own, but you have to have about 1 - 2 hours each day to devote to your SEO work. If you have more of a budget and less time, then consider hiring it from an outside source.

Well, we would disagree. Just make sure your SEO company or expert is using white-hat methods and can provide you with solid references...and, yes, you can learn to do SEO on your own if you have the time to devote to it.

With SEO, you're assured the prospects that are visiting your site are high-quality leads, or customers who are already researching your product or service to buy. This means that the leads you receive from SEO are more likely to purchase.

Oh, yes, SEO is needed! Just think of all the websites on the Internet today. With so many people researching products and services before making a purchasing decision, it only makes sense that there has to be some sort of 'guide' for searches. This guide is SEO. You must have it to your site in order for your site to get found by your propects.

Quality content and targeted keywords are both essential to SEO for your website; however, they aren't the main driving force. Off-page SEO, or link-building, is the main factor in getting your site ranked high in the search engines.

Black hat SEO is the unapproved methods of getting your website ranked. Items like keyword stuffing, link farming, doorway pages, etc. are examples of the kinds of methods you DON'T want to use for your website. This could eventually lead to your site getting banned. Only focus your SEO Efforts on white-hat or approved methods.

It looks like you've covered the bases for off-page SEO. The important thing with off-page SEO is to make sure you are doing your SEO work consistently each day for the best results. This is crucial to the success of your site.
