    Thanks for a nice effort to expose some of the potpourri of legitimate and creative ideas there are to generate attention and ranking. We try to use them all, but always try to start by bringing something useful to the table.

  8. Content is king if you are a clueless retard. Massive backlinks gets u rank. If you’re lovingly cultivating organic links then you’ll starve before you get a pay out. But hey, if being poor is your goal in life then by all means keep writing that great content!

  9. Hmm.. brother you are hiding some great tips :D . but most effective way you mentioned in the begining. Guys if you are looking for Best SEO. then just provide great content, And share them on social networking sites. People will like it or hate it and most of bloggers blog about the information on your site. You will gain a backlink too. But if you info is really usefull then you will get repeated visitors. Content is king.

  10. Great video!

  11. When you mentioned building a blog…I don’t think you mentioned Blogger as one of the services….is there a reason for that?

  12. As usual, great video!

    Anyways, THIS was a excelent video!

    Thanks!

    Great as always.
    The important thing towards the end of the video which says – its not necessary to have so many back links to be listed on top, but the proper and unique content that is ‘all new’ and nobody have that…. matters”

    Thanks Matt

  14. ” Put a funny picture on your blog”

    really enjoyed that – thanks. like how you refer to lists as kind of at the bottom of the pile. as a former publisher it’s the same sort of situation: they are boring, but they work

  16. xD en la empresa donde laboraba sólo hacían spam. :(

  17. 17th!

    Anyway, awesome vid :)

  18. Loved when you said “Making Videos” Matt, your smile gave away your inner thoughts… :-) )

  19. excellent matt!!!

  20. Love u matt

  21. i swear to God I have been telling this to my boss…videos, less spammy contents, etc…they just dont listen!

    LOL

  22. I link to Relevant content, that I think is great, find helpful or I think will be helpful to others, (unpaid).

  23. Might make a little difference but linking to irrelevant content may be perceived as spam

  24. Your live show was amazing. Thank you.

  25. If you link to good content do you get rewarded for finding and linking to that cantent?
