I never got a number 1 position in google SERPs for any of my keywords ever. Perhaps the reason behind this failure is I do not concentrate on off-page optimization factors. Recently I have started writing articles to submit in article directories, moreover I also comment on blog posts to get a backlink. Is it sufficient or what else should I do with reference to "Off-Page" optimization? Dear Matt,

I have a question regarding #5. If I'm optimizing on page copy, where should I try to place the keywords? Near the top? Does it matter? I have a page that I'm trying to optimize, logically it would seem that I place some of the copy near the top. I may not be able to do that. Can I put it near the bottom and still see the benefit?

But all of the search engines are getting very good at correcting misspellings when people search. In many cases, Google will even ignore the fact that the searcher misspelled the search term and will show search results for the correctly spelled version.

I'm still a little fuzzy on the process, to be honest with you, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I am very new to blogging in the current blogosphere (I had one years ago, though) and SEO. I do believe I'll get there, though, and articles - and blogs - like this one are very valuable. Thanks, again. Not sure if you could answer this, but it doesn't hurt to ask - what if you want to capitalize on the misspelling of a keyword (or phrase) to nab that traffic, would you then have to actually use that misspelling in your title and content?

So it must not be that bad?? :-) I just wanted to point out that you have 5 dashes in this website address although you recommend 1-2 at most. So it must not be that bad?? :-)
