Telegraph's SEO Tip List...eh.

Recently Telegraph posted a SEO Tip List....anyone could have published this, but it does remind us, and especially the newbies what's important in SEO.

Here's an excerpt:

  • Produce unique, dynamic, and authoritative content.

  • Utilize long-tail keywords.

    While it’s absolutely true that long-tail targeting is an important tactic (especially for small- to medium-size businesses), it’s important to keep in mind that organic CTR is also dramatically lower for long-tail terms.

  • Optimize meta tags.

    Telegraph touched on some of the key points in the broadest possible sense, but they didn’t go into specifics. Things like how to make content shareable and how to write quality content are far more important than knowing that those are your targets. They also didn’t mention any of the ways that websites so often shoot themselves in the foot – especially in the post-Panda world.
