Here are some Key points we covered in this segment:
Every marketing tactic gets more scrutiny when budgets face the severity of a struggling economy. Put SEO under the microscope, and it consistently delivers. But marketers need to insure they are getting the most out of SEO, especially during a recession.
With this in mind, here are 6 key tactics from Steve Riegel, director of Search and co-founder of the award-winning interactive agency, Faction Media to maximize SEO:
1. Use Analytics and plan on Keyword Platform Optimization – Internal Search and PPC provide active avenues to grow keyword targets for SEO. Internal search shows how visitors seek out products on site and what keywords they use to discover your best answers. PPC efforts when combined with success events through analytics can show you what engines and what terms covert to a desired result. Keyword platform optimization is an ongoing process of evaluating PPC, Internal Search, and SEO key terms across engines and providing expanding keyword targets for SEO and PPC efforts across engines.
2. Localize your content – Whether you sell locally or through distribution channels, on average 7% of searches include a location modifier. Place your address(es) or at the very least city, state on each page of your site. We capture traffic for Denver Digital Marketing agency based on our location and Search Visibility for Digital Marketing.
3. Make sure all your pages are crawled to have them properly indexed with Sitemaps – Create both xml based for Search Engine spiders and user friendly sitemaps for your site visitors. XML sitemaps are becoming the standard fare for Search Engine crawl submissions and can provide SE based data reporting benefits. User friendly sitemaps provide additional navigation links throughout your site for users and spiders alike.
4. Optimize the title tag on each page on your site – Title tags are still one of the most important elements of Search Engines Algorthims. Keep the tag under 128 characters and keep your branding to the end, make the title tag unique and descriptive for each pages content.
5. Check keyword rankings across engines for phrases just outside the top 20-30 and target those for additional efforts.
6. Validate your code often. If the search engines can’t parse your code, they will miss your entire page around a few “simple errors”. Spend the extra 5 minutes and validate your code through tools like http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural"search results.

Most definately, SEO is a good value compared with PPC - as long as the website provides good value and truley deserves to rank where it does.
I am not really sure if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your great job is clearly identified. I was wondering if you offer any subscription to your RSS feeds as I would be very interested and cant find any link to subscribe here
Does anyone have any facts or guidance on the SEO impact of using interstitial ads? They appear on a number of “big budget” sites like top-tier newspapers, magazines and video sites yet my guess is that Google and others would take a less favorable view of small sites using these ads. They are quite admittedly annoying, but can be profitable and beneficial in some situations.PPC Management Company

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup.
It could be designed to have an appearance that would remind of the certain brand and by having the options to be embedded and shared it could help generate links and thus contribute to the SEO efforts. I see it as a web content development, quality content or link bait.

nice work
Regarding point 5, I keep all my records in a excel spread sheet. I found this is the best and easiest way as apposed to any of the currently link tracking software out there.
You can say that Seo is the soul of a web and a web is in complete without seo.
#3 is the most important one in this list.
All #s are very important at all!
