I would add the 5th… from my own experience!
Buy variations of the same domain and park the domains on top of the main domain, instead of add-on them and redirecting with 301 to the main domain, and you will see a nice supplemental index penalty against you.
That’s because Google will index every domain and it will think that domain.com, domain.net, dmoain.com are just spammy websites since they share the same content.

If you look at keyword density as a percentage figure, you are a little off. Here is an article by Matt Cutts that sums it up pretty well:

Notice what I did with keywords. I carefully chose keywords for the title and the url (note that I used “change” in the url and “changing” in the title). The categories on my post (“How to” and “Linux”) give me a subtle way to mention Linux again, and include a couple extra ways that someone might do a search–lots of user type “how to (do what they want to do).” I thought about the words that a user would type in when looking for an answer to their question, and tried to include those words in the article. I also tried to think of a few word variations and included them where they made sense (file vs. files, bash and bashrc, Firefox and Mozilla, etc.). I’m targetting a long-tail concept where someone will be typing several words, so I’m probably in a space where on-page keywords are enough to rank pretty well. I don’t need anchor-text for “linux default printer” or similar phrases; in the on-page space, I’d recommend thinking more about words and variants (the “long-tail”) and thinking less about keyword density or repeating phrases.

Cool article. Have to say that with my first ever website, I was guilty of the build it, and it will rank mistake, never again though. When you mention keyword stuffing, what would you class as keyword stuffing? I have read all different figures for the optimal keyword density but as a rule tend to stick anywhere between 3% and 9%. What are your thoughts?

Hi HP,

Great site you have full of useful SEO information.

I am relatively new to SEO and am finding my way with link building. The biggest problem I have is actually finding Do Follow blogs that are both relevant and with good PR.

Any tips please?

As Leah stated above.. This is not a onetime work industry. Patience is the key when it comes to SEO. Many webmasters want to get ranked really fast, which is never possible and some of them want to do links for sometime and then leave it off. SEO is an on going process, one should be on top of content and regularly build links to stay in competition. Your points emphasizes its importance vividly.

I’m glad that you brought into light that Facebook and Twitter have no value when it comes to SEO. I’m sure there is some value, just not for SEO. Very nice.

You can do as many as you like, as long as they are relevant to the post and deliver value. If you do the comments yourself and really read the posts, you will not make more than maybe 5 or 10 a day anyhow.
