3 Powerful SEO Techniques to help you in better ranking
Content –
Search engine today is smart enough to distinguish good content from bad content from superior quality content. Therefore, before you even think of gaining high SE rankings, you might want to work on having high quality plagiarism-free content. Plagiarism today is a very big issue and posting duplicated content on your website can get you penalized. It is advisable to spend the time, and money if you must, on getting qualify fresh and informative content which will appease the search engine spiders and appeal to your target audience.
Keywords –
This is self-explanatory in the sense that you should optimize your website for specific keywords which are relevant to the theme of your website. Ensure the keyword density is OK, avoid over stuffing your website with keywords as it could raise a flag and make your website penalized or even worse, completely banned. It is very simple when you want to have the right keyword density – use the keywords with the search engines and your target audience in mind. Whatever will please the human eye should also please the search engines – well at least where the use of keywords is concerned.
Latent Semantic Indexing –
This is a slightly new concept that promotes the idea of LSI to gain high search engine rankings. The LSI is still a very controversial topic with as many proponents as there are opponents as to its efficacy. Basically, it deals with the insertion of closely related keywords together with the major keywords a website is being optimized for. After Panda and Penguin updates, LSI words is now one of the big factor for better ranking. You can use plugins like SEOPressor to get LSI words for your target keywords.
The above mentioned are by far the tested and proven effective SEO tactics that anyone can employ to significantly boost their rankings in the search engines.

Content is SUPER important and I think if you want to be around in the long run then you really need to focus on creating valuable/unique content. But I would still argue that back-links are still the number 1 decider in search engine rankings.
The biggest secret to attaining the maximum SEO score is to have good stuff on your site which is actually needd by the people
Content, keywords and back-links is the golden triangle !
LSI may be interesting, but I highly doubt it is part of the most powerful SEO tactics “of all time”
I think Link Building is missing here. Link Building is also a powerful SEO tactic, since search Engines ranks your site based on the number of backlinks.
True
I have made my mind not to see any info in the first few pages
i will start only from the 5th page
Thanks…..Will click a new one soon
How about Link Building and Social Networking act? which plays most important role in traffic building if we have efficient data.
Bye the way great article.
Hey, dude. Thanks for this great article on SEO, a field that I don’t know about.
This article is very helpful.
Deceive by the title “The Most Powerful SEO Tactics of all Time” . landed here in hope to see some rock solid content on SEO. Feel like on a 404 page this time
I couldn’t get an idea about the last one ‘Latent Semantic Indexing’?
Awesome. I’ve never focused on SEO, but I understand the importance. What I’ve been focusing on is content, and when you include it in SEO I understand that maybe that’s why most of my traffic comes from search engines.
I have never focused on Keywords or LSI, and I probably never will. To me, it seems that optimizing a blog or every blog post for the search engines takes a lot of time. I’ve even tested Scribe, it helped a lot, but I still think it took my too much time.
I’m glad to have visited your blog and good to know you! I find it interesting and informative.
Keyword density as a positive ranking factor is a myth. What’s important is that your keywords flow naturally in your copy and that the content sounds right in the reader’s inner ear. If you feel you must have a percentage, then analyze the keyword density of the top sites for your targeted phrase and keep your ratio in the same range.
