Search engines reward content that is both unique and quality; keyword stuffing hurts rankings, link quality beats quantity, and each page should target a single focused keyword phrase for best SEO results.
search engines like unique content that is also quality content. There can be a difference between unique content and quality content.
We discuss how you should cover the basics of local SEO before tackling a national campaign. We also discuss Google IP addresses and how tracking can help SEO. Finally we discuss unique content versus quality content. The most popular PPC Houston podcast on iTunes. E-Webstyle provides Houston SEO .
The hosts recommend keeping keyword density at around 3%. If a term appears abnormally often in your content, search engines will count that against you rather than for you. Tools like SEO Quake, a Firefox plugin, can show you your keyword density after a page is live.
According to this episode, unique content and relevant content are two separate circles, and where they overlap you get quality. Content must be original, meaning you create it yourself, and it must be relevant to the subject. Copying others, called site jacking in the episode, can get a site banned, especially after Google Panda.
When users are logged into a Google account, Google encrypts the keyword referral data sent to analytics platforms. Site owners can no longer see which specific keywords drove those visitors. The hosts note this affects less than 10% currently, but as Gmail, Android, and Google Plus users grow, the impact will increase.
Focus on quality over quantity. A link from a high-PR, trusted site like MSN carries more value than many links from obscure blogs. The type of link also matters; a link from a relevant industry source, like a flooring manufacturer linking to a flooring installer, is especially valuable.
When link building, think quality, not quantity.

Give each page a focus on a single keyword phrase. Don't try to optimize the page for several key phrases at once.
