Having strong inbound links is really beneficial especially if you have a flash-based website

What I find really annoying are flash websites that are higher on Google than HTML/PHP websites with actual good content…

I'm a newbie at SEO and I'm trying to do a link building job for someone. What can you do if your site is just not interesting to the general public? (like Geeky stuffs, etc.).

I agree completely! Your links should never come from link farms or other bad neighborhoods and on-site seo is also important to make sure that your site ranks for the keywords desired.

To get around the “nofollow” attribute there are several directories you can submit to, and if your into blogging I recommend that you try our “dofollow search engine” you can find it in the sidebar listed under “free seo tools”.

B.T.W. Thanks for the great comment!

Well I believe that on-page factors such as titles, descriptions, headers, internal links, and such are still rather important. But I do believe that this post proves that people will do better to build links rather than continuously tweaking their on-page factors.

It's simple just perform extensive keyword research, optimize your pages with original content, create a strong title, description, headers, interlink your pages contextually, and then build as many quality links as possible using the proper keywords/phrases as the anchor text.

But you are right! It is by all means possible to get a page ranked high in the SERPs "Search Engine Results Pages" through link building alone.

Hello Ravm, thanks for posting the informative videos. I believe that people will get a lot out of this useful resource!

That is true and if seo-usa.org had used on-page factors such as text and a better title they would be ranking for keywords that are actually useful to their cause!

I also agree that links are important, however, one should take extreme care where they get those linsk from, many an amateur will go off and spam their neighbourhoods belieiving that if thye get a ton of links then wayy hayyy they will start popping up on engines, this is not the case. Google now haver the “nofollow” tag and you are not really supposed to buy links anymore. I focus on on page optimisation and good content, the links then come of their own accord. My blog was spammed this morning by an amateur who was clearly just going for links, but all in the wrong manner!

Yeah tht's 100% true some still think on-page is 75% of SEO but its not some SEO Companies make 10000…. of links and make the clients sites on a high rank.

One way link building is much more important than onsite SEO. However, doing both is important. Vertical Measures has done a video series for onsite SEO Tips, like the ones you hinted at at the beginning of your article.

Wow, impressive, all those great SEOs can't really do anything about natural links.

Agree with you that in bound links are or should I say could be really powerful, But on page search engine optimization is pretty useful too
