I concur with the obove opinion. SEO companies will give you the 30 to 70 ratio, which legitimizes their existence and fees. That being 30 percent of good rankings is content and 70 percent is offsite optimization (ex. Backlinks that they have the inside corner on) I am not convinced on their analysis. I think its 60 percent content and 40 percent offsite.

I don’t know why, but even now I following SEO Contest that held by Busby WebSolutions (an Australian IT Company), I’m agree with your post above. The best SEO Technique is no technique at all. Just being natural. Never think too much about dofollow or nofollow link.

But Garry, what’s your opinion if I say that many factor in SEO isn’t so important? that the most important to get better SERP now is only about quantity of quality backlink ?

I’m sorry for asking this, cause I’m just a SEO Newbie from Indonesia and what lesson I get from following Busby SEO Challenge it’s only about get as many as quality backlink. (I’m sorry too if my English not so good).

I suppose your post Garry reflects the term that is thrown around the internet a lot – ‘Content is King’.
In the short time I have been involved in IM, everything I have read and focussed on has been getting the SEO right and even though I knew content was important, I have spent considerable time and money ensuring all the SEO boxes were ticked first before anything else.
This post Garry has certainly made the process clearer for me and put it into perspective.
Another quality article buddy.

I share the same opinion on the content issue. Take two blogs, after one month, one posts 1 article a week and focuses on SEO and the other 5 well written quality articles. The site with more content has a broader base of keywords and more terms to be included for, more long tails and generally a better chance of getting ranked for more keywords. I read in Google’s optimization guide that they like fresh content to crawl, you’re right some times the best strategy is no strategy at all…

Hi Gary, I would have to agree with you in some cases.I know people who don’t do any SEO to their website-they just add pages and pages of content to their website, write articles for the back links.

This is all they do and they get some huge traffic passing through their site each month.So it seems that all you have to do is to constantly create, fresh engaging relevant content and your off to a great start.
