Good post Barry! I pretty much pay attention to most of what you have written. Although I do have a lot of experience with keyword research, onpage SEO and IA, I do have limited knowledge of usability. Obviously, as professionals we see hundreads of new websites everyday, so we can tell good from bad ( usability ). I am wondering what do you think about services that provide some usability testing for a quite low price ( up to $100 ). I have a friend in the field, though his rates are closer to $100 per hour and he takes time with usability testing, implementation, split testing etc etc.

So, the question is, whether spending money on cheap usability test gives any advantages?

On page optimisation in the form of website structure, compliance, loading speed and then of course your keyword research and content derived from that, along with Meta Titles, Descriptions and h tags is what needs to be paid attention to. Linking between pages also is a very important aspect that often gets neglected.

Off page optimisation is anchor text rich link building for long term organic results, with ppc to make up for the lack of organic rankings initially.

I agree with the points you made about being sure to really invest time in the social networking communities. I’ve seen several businesses trying to outreach to their clients in that way, but they either give up or forget about it after a month of updates. Or they’ll make a facebook page and update that regularly but leave their website looking nearly 20 years old. It’s important to maintain that balance.
Thanks for the awesome tips.

Some really useful tips for anyone looking to master the art of seo.

Keyword research has got to be the biggest thing for me, Google may tell you that a certain phrases gets a million searches per month, but are they relevant to your site? and do they convert? if you don’t know the answer then don’t spend a penny on seo, start a ppc campaign and establish if the keywords you have chosen will make you money

I think I’ve considered everything except for the SEO URLs. Good points mentioned in the entry. I used it as a checklist for a website which is currently under the development stage.

Nice tips. I tend to put focus on optimizing small business for local search, if it applies to them. I find it to be the most ‘bang for their buck’ so to speak.
