Stealing content is NOT king. Your blog has many stolen, inaccurate posts. You have stolen posts from me and from others instead of creating your own content. Worse, you have signed the posts with your own name. How can you optimize what you do not even write? Norish Aida,

Therefore many rely on free tools. The easiest SEO tool they can apply is to update content regularly in their sites. Content is king, and you need keyword-rich text to get your site indexed by search spiders. Optimize each page for two or three targeted keywords. Use your keywords in a natural, conversational way throughout the text on your page so that the copy is attractive to both visitors and search engines. Start using keywords immediately so they appear above the fold. Use keywords in subheadings whenever possible. Experts recommend at least 250 words per page, and there is no maximum. Establish a theme for your site, supported by inner pages and efficient internal linking. Write pages that describe and explain your offerings while addressing potential customer queries.

Yes in 1997 we created the most popular search engine submission tool, which is still being use today... I would agree that the tool is not as useful as it once used to be, but far from fraudulent as it still has its uses. Besides we all know that submissions is only a single SEO feature of hundreds in the SEO Toolkit applications, all of which are much more important in this day and age. That is why our efforts have changed to what is far more important and that is <a href="http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/" rel="nofollow">keyword research</a> and competitive intelligence. Cheers David I agree with Aaron,

An easy but sometimes overlooked way to increase traffic is by doing exactly what you are doing here ... providing good information for your readers. I was using the Google Blog Search and this article caught my eye. If you provide good information on your website people will be attracted to it. There are several good books and sites on SEO. SEOBook, Webmasterworld, Sitepoint, etc. These resources contain just about everything a beginning or expert webmaster would want to know about SEO. From using <a href="http://adwords.google.com" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Adwords</a> to participating in large-scale advertising networks these resources cover them all. Nice job.

I should have mentioned that also, that many tools come out of someone like you and me needing a tool and creating it. The motivation to maintain those tools is strong as long as the creator still uses the tool. In terms of paid software, yes companies who developed software for 2000 and are still profiting from it are likely to squeeze it as long as they can, despite being fraudulent and useless. SoloSEO is trying to be that breath of fresh air of SEO tools that aren't spammy and fraudulent, but actually empower an SEO to do real SEO. Thanks for your contributions to SEO and search marketing, Aaron. You definitely have a sphere of influence much larger than most anyone in SEO, and we appreciate you using that "power" for good. Your blog has been awesome to follow too. Aaron, thanks for the insight. I should have mentioned that also, that many tools come out of someone like you and me needing a tool and creating it.

Like today I created a keyword list cleaner, paid a programmer to fix up another older keyword list generator tool of mine, and already have some more update ideas for SEO for Firefox that should launch soon. I think the bigger flaw with SEO in general is not specific to tools, software, books, advice, or any specific subset of the industry. I think any SEO model attracts the wrong customers and fails to scale and provide value unless it is brought in as a subset of marketing as a whole. That is part of the reason why I blog so much more about marketing than just SEO now...it is the only way to scale to large exposure and still provide value, IMHO. If someone has reach and authority and are advocating gaming things and knows what they are talking about then those holes will quickly get closed. There is also a hole inherant to paid software in that many businesses sell software which is no longer relevant because they are addicted to the profits. Look how many people still sell stuff like fraudulent search engine submission software, etc. Many of my tools are created because they are things I want.
