This is a huge topic and the more I read, the more I realize how little I know. I appreciate the advice to focus more on conversion than search engine rankings. The fact is, more focus on giving the visitor what they want will eventually lead to a longer lasting ride in the rankings anyway. It's easy to build crappy links to push your site up the rankings but it will be very sad when Google figures it all out and everything comes tumbling down.

Especially about linking to other websites and following through with what you say. Social Media is very important as well. However, there is nothing wrong with trying to rank high in the search engines by backlinking. I agree with his points.

I met Tom a few years ago. His SEO philosophy is both ethical and gets results. He's a genuine guy online and offline and the kind of friend you want to have. Not sure about his raquetball playing though :) Great to read this, Ileane. I met Tom a few years ago. His SEO philosophy is both ethical and gets results.

(I guess it is long because it is written, in fact, by "real" interview, it wouldn't too long) One point that hit me is the "link to other websites" because honestly, I rarely do it, because I was afraid it would hurt the site. But sooner I learn that it is greedy, and linking to sites which are not spammy are really okay. Learn alot from this SEO guy, great interview. Is it the first interview on your blog? Best wishes, Kimi Illeane,

To be very true, I really feel very bad when I see some tiny blog with negligible useful content with better SEO than my good enough blog with not so good SEO. Thank you for your kind reply.

That still doesn't mean plugin and forget it. Some of the things I like about WordPress SEO plugin: it handles duplicate content from archives, author, tags and/or category pages easy, it adds links to my RSS feed referencing the source, it allows easy modification of the title for any page or post and more stuff. Most of these can be done manually in a blogger blog and most plugins are just programs that make a manual job automatic.
