Optimization must be done by closely monitoring the type of results displayed by search engines. For generic names or brand names it is very essential to have content online in all forms and media formats. This content must not only be optimized with keywords but also popularized by driving traffic by linking from main site, including popular tags, intelligently interlinking each other content.

Aggregate of traffic from all referral sources forms a signification chunk in your overall traffic to any website. Building the long tail of referral sites is very essential for every website.

    I don’t know about SEO, but I once made a video and added a link to my pages into it. And I was surprised about the traffic on my site after that. Almost every 10 th viewer visited my pages.

    Thank you for this - it is about the simplest explanation of link baiting strategy I’ve seen.

    I’m curious about the “create blogs” suggestions, though - isn’t that a bit black hat? I mean, if Google were to touch up the algo with instructions to note if the same blogs were all sending links to the same sites, wouldn’t that eventually cause more problems?

    On Wikipedia you need to create a neutral articles about your industry and field.
    However sites like Ebay can ask users to upload videos of their products, Upload Images of various sizes. similarly Audio content of the products can be uploaded. These Videos/Audio files can be made crawlable to search engine bots. They can also be uploaded on Youtube, giving a link to product page from inside the description as well as stating in the Video itself.

    Creating Blogs is not black hat.. spamming in blogs in blackhat. duplicating content is blackhat.

    Nothing is black hat if you providing genuine useful content to users and helping them navigate more content easily.

    Hope I have answered all questions. Please do comment if any…
