I've kinda been out of the SEO stuff for a bit and I'm just now getting back in the swing of things again. I would like to hear from some of you seasoned "SEO GURU's" what the latest techniques are?
If I'm right, Link Popularity is still a big part, but it seems link building now emphasizes topic related sites that deep linking with good anchor text versus the old style "Root Domain Link Exchange".
I also know the content these days should be more user friendly and not so much keyword density stuff? How big of a role do the HTML tags play these days? (ie. Header, Alt, Bold, etc) Also, what are good keyword density percentages?
So in general what all bases need to be covered to get good ranking? Link Building for sure, Content for sure? What else is your big ticket items to cover these days?
