On going optimization?

[ajkendall]

Hi guys, just a quick one really...

I have a gambling website which was started a few months back and optimized in various ways, now everything has come into play i am getting a fair few hits from google, msn etc under quite competitive keywords, for example, if i search google(uk) for uk online casinos i come up 8th out of 8 million results

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta=

when the site was optimized i used various techniques such as article submission, backlinks / link building, quality keyword research etc

i am just wondering if i need to carry on optimizing the website further to keep the rankings

thanks in advance

Don't stop optimizing your site.. 'coz SEO is a continuous process and as the SE updates it algorithm all time...

Update your contents and build links....

Is there ever a point where you have so many links, that we will build by themselves or where you wont have to do anything anymore, or is that not possible?

if i change the page content of the homepage thought won't that affect my SE ranking as it's been optimized the way the content is at the moment with keywords in paragraphs etc?

Don't change you content just add more contents...

Focus on keyword density...

agree with you, content is the key

try article submissions & some free tips n stuff on ur site

[ajkendall]

i have done over 300 article submissions to start with thats how the ranking is getting where it is now

if i add more content to the already optimized homepage won't that reduce the density of my primary keywords?

carry on building links in different ways for your site. For the content I'd say write content from the users' perspective and not for the SEs. A professional content writer can supply a content keeping in mind the users and SEs viewpoints.

Quite honestly I would continue building links to it, and keep targeting other keywords. I don't know exactly what your trying to achieve out of your website, but my goal on any website to to always make sure its moving forward and that would be addressed by building links, and optimizing!

Yup, were ranking in the top 5 for website design and many other competitive keywords are rankings slide up and down

I have had a good play with keyword densitys over the last couple of months, at this moment my densitys are up the spout as I just added some text links to the bottom of all pages.

so adding more content will change you keyword density for sure. I found a program "ekwd check" easy to use and small to, so doesnt use up processing power. I was running site evaluation and keying my site into the number 1 page's densitys. cool little tool

hope this helps in some way as it was learnt from doing it wrong, hope you can get something good out of it.

endless process... especially for gambling sites and other highly competitive terms.. always got to keep adding relavent links and content.

Yes. When? If you build a very good authority sites which it was worthy enough for the visitors to come back and fort for it. Think Google for this situation or any other useful sites in the web now. If you reach this point, then its all automatic.

[pstatus]

not too many people reach that point where you don't have to do something to a site anymore

just continue to build more content maybe..
