So I think I know some of the tricks to get my site ranked, but I was wondering if any of you guys know if an Optimized URL is still important?

The most important thing about rankings nowadays is how many sites link back to your site and how many of those sites are relevant to the content on your site.

There are a lot of SEO sites claiming to guarantee you a top 10 ranking.
They do that by placing a load of text content with keywords added. To do this add a keyword 6 to 8 times in a 450 word piece of text. Do this on a number of articles (10 to 15) and when spiders visit your site they count the keywords and see that your site content is relevant to your metatags.

Google and the gang however worked out that companies were doing this and so work more on link backs now and hardly any search engines worry about metatags.

The only exception to Gary's 'metatags' info is Yahoo - they use the keywords rather a lot.

Another thing that helps is legitimate googlebombing - instead of saying "my brilliant article on xxx is here". Try "xxx is what you want to read". Google definitely take note of the link text; I suspect that msn do too. Smile

Here's a summary of SEO tips and tools

And dont forget that back links should have high PR too. Law or zero PR does not play any role

Title & Meta Description Tag:
Construction of your title tag is one of the most important things you need to do. Each page should have a different title with 2 or 3 of your keyword phrases at the beginning. When search engine results are displayed the title is the first thing people see.
Below the title is a description which will be either be taken from your meta name description content="Description phrase" or from the first sentence on at page. You description should also have 2 or 3 of your keyword phrases at the beginning as so should your first sentence. You should have a different title, description and first sentence on each page. You many also what to try shorter titles with only one keyword or keyword phrase as this will raise you keyword relevance. Also you can consider putting your domain name at the very end of the title.

In my opinion, SEO is a trial and error thing that sometimes what you do is very effective on your site and when Search engines change their algorithm on how they rank things, you tend to change your strategy also.
