What are the new SEO techniques people are using that will be effective as we move into 2011? It seems to me article marketing and link wheels are old news... Thanks.

I tend to agree, but I fail to see valid replacements. Just more of everything seems like the only answer. I am not sure web 2.0 link wheels are totally dead. Also some times I have seen articles being taken up by quality blogs as well. If you are first writer of articles in a niche you have an okay chance for that happening I think

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

How ever SEO concept is Building links and improving visibility of a website in search engine. I hope existing link building methods are fine and it's better to improve those methods in new ways rather searching new techniques.

what can we  expect more from Search Engine Optimization in 2011,  a lot things are already done.One thing may be make some changes recent news is  Facebook is number 2 site over the world wide web, and they announced going to launch an internet directory like Google and will switch on to Facebook directory.As there are so many users of facebook, there is high possibility to used Facebook directory.

Hey nothing new strategies been added but yeah try to make a good site, is what you can do from your own side. SEO experts are still using the same tactics but some of them are now been not so much result oriented.

i agree with you..that nothing is added new ...but social sites become more strict than before..

One of the best marketing strategy today is the use of social media. The popularity of this sites had gone to the top and advertising and promoting your site in tons of members will be a great help for you..

A list of SEO techniques can bring to your page will not be in a position of higher search engine results as could. You can write articles on your site and submit them to article sites and other sites like Syndicate content of the new article on your own website.

I think social networking sites and social media emerging as new marketing techniques. Other than profile link is looking very effective way of SEO.

friends
   Now a days  link wheel is technique in SEO . we can use link wheel for to boost keyword

The keyword should always be in the title and preferably first example because I am trying to rank for the keyword SEO methods my title has this in the first few words.
You must also include your keyword in the first sentence of your description
Your keyword must be in your URL example: mine would be my domain name /SEO methods for 2011 as the permalink.
Your keyword must be in your last sentence
Your category must be your main niche and your actual keyword your sub niche for example for this article my category would be SEO and my sub category would be my main keyword, which are best SEO methods.

 There is no such most important technique. Infact all techniques are important. You need to apply all technique to get maximum result. All onpage and off page factors affects SERP.

I'm also looking for some new techniques and upgrade ways of SEO as well as you...
Keep trying with the old until the new technique comes.

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