Quick SEO tips

1. Content is king, so focus your content (well written  content) on your primary keyword phrase.
2. Don't get too focused on PR, it is just a small part of the "Algorithm" and a lower PR can out rank a higher PR in a SERP
3. Use the keywords in your site to link, don't use an off word for a link.  Example use key word great widget to link if great widget is the key word.  Don't create a link  from the word "link here".
4. Choose a domain name that is keyword friendly, don't choose a domain that does not have your keyword phrase.
5. Add  fresh content regularly
6. Googles submission process can take weeks.  Get a link from a quality site and you can get spiders so much faster.
7. Make sure your site is not on a blacklisted server.
8. If you are using a blog optimize your post title tag separate from your blog title.
9. Don't be stingy with your links.  If you want people to link to you, then you need to link out.  The link will come.
10. Remember SEO is not a one shot process.  Plan on working on your optimization a little every day.
