   I don’t know if I’d say having a blog is always the best SEO tool, like any tool it is really what you decide to do with it, right?

   Thanks very much for commenting! Much appreciated.

   Dig the talk but, why would you say not to submit your site when it takes no time at all… Just don’t understand why google and yahoo would build these capabilities if they don’t use them?

   I just don’t do it, it just has no impact IMHO – you can do it though for sure.

   While some of the things you mentioned don’t count as much, it doesn’t hurt to have it either. Extra effort pays off in my opinion.

   It won’t hurt you, that is correct.

    I’m kinda on the fence with this video, you make some good points and then you go off on a tangent :/ You title the vid best practice, um meta tags are a best practice just leave it at that. It’s been a practice since the beginning and still is today. And submitting your site to Google to crawl to let them know your updating etc etc… does speed up the process, it’s another best practice.

    Agreed on the crawl thing, this video is a little old, and as usual I go off on tangents I just can’t help it

    Thanks for dropping some feedback.

    meta tags and submitting your site isn’t going to hurt you But if you only have 5 minutes at the end of the day your time is better spent establishing strong links with relevant sites rather than working on the other items. But if you have time for both, go for it. (or get one of the interns to do it)

    There are heaps of things you CAN do, but unless you either have unlimited time (and want to be glued to the computer 24/7) or a huge team to help, it makes sense to concentrate your efforts on those things that will produce best results. Good stuff.

    I definitely agree with you. In case I have some spare time, I will navigate to your web.

    Consideration three: know your competition. How well you do in the search engine results is a function how much hard work you have put in relation to that of your competition. You want to make sure you work harder and more diligently than those against whom you are competing so keep this in mind when writing your website and article content.

    great point, I’m digging the tools over at SEOmoz lately when doing competitive analysis to know what we’re going up against.

    Good point here Joel, definitely NOT going to hurt you, so if you have time go for it. I think the big thing is not thinking that these tactics will skyrocket you to the top.

    SEO can best be done by knowing the fundamentals of HTML. Make sure you understand the value of w3c validation. TheMusicAge attempts this and is fairly successful. Google “SEO TheMusicAge” or “TheMusicAge Marketing” for more information.

    Take a look at Mat Cutts video on why W3C is not a ranking factor, he just recentlt discussed this.

    I would agree that its not a ranking factor, however…

    W3C standards are honored by browsers, and spiders alike. I am no expert, but if you have two documents, one has proper structure, while another doesn’t, I would rather parse the document with proper structure.

    Its like a compiler for HTML. Many users are often unaware of their HTML flaws. W3C helps eliminate potential problems like invalid characters, closing/opening tags, attributes, and much more.

    I wouldn’t trust much of what Matt Cutts says anymore. Just like the US military, disinformation is a primary strategy. Some of his recent discussions are shaky at best.

    Certainly good architecture plays a ranking factor and can’t understand why this is still being disputed?
