The best tip to get better ranking on Search Engines without too much hassle is to write good content.

Yes, I know I repeated myself before but this entry focuses solely on this very topic. Why do I tell you to write good content on your forums and your site and not only rely on plugins like minervaSEO? That’s because this is what is going to rank you. People uses the Internet as a tool and when they search for something, they will want to find it and it should get to the point. I.E. Wouldn’t you be pissed off if you search for something and the first link that comes up is full of junk? …Exactly my point…

And not so long ago I read a book (seobook, and still reading…) they said that search engines monitor how fast you click the back link to the originating search engine to check another link. This means that if you ranked up really high on a search query because of SEO tools that flourishes your keyword up and people don’t like the content they are reading they would press the “back” button and look at something else. And that action pulls you down the ranking more and more until you are not on the first page anymore as your content is not relevant enough. So the only way to get yourself up the ranking is to write quality content.

For example one of my articles on the skin design of IPB ranks very well on anything related to skinning, template design, etc… for IPB. why? that is because I wrote a good guide.

And as you wrote a good guide the person who has read it, would have bookmarked it. Like I do most of the time. Or even better submit your entry to digg.com or stumbleupon and you can sure bet that you would get a few to a hundred visitors.

The point being is that you cannot get high on the ranking with only an SEO module, plugin or hack as you will be penalized for not having relevant content.
