Some of those subject I'll be talking about, some I won't. Here's why: - how to develop links with high PR: If you browse my post on <a href="http://www.seobash.com/2008/08/18/history-of-the-search-wars/">history of the search wars</a> you'll see that I believe that pagerank is mostly depreciated. It's now about trustrank. I will be talking about how to get higher trustrank links in the future for sure. And those links, because they tend to be old and trusted, generally do have a higher pagerank. So we'll be delving into how to get 'better' high quality links, not just high PR links. - how to form content on pages/keyword density: I'll only be talking about onpage stuff in the future briefly. First, I'm no expert on it, secondly I don't believe keyword density is a huge deal, and finally, link development trumps everything onpage. My rankings are due to link development and very limited onpages stuff (because onpage stuff isn't trusted by the SE's). Certainly I've never done a keyword density analysis. I just write naturally. - targetting multiple keywords. I won't be discussing this specifically, I will be posting about creating content. - article marketing: Something I'm not an expert on, won't be discussing in any detail. Again, trust and relevance are the key. I don't think most article marketing techniques are not overly trusted. In addition (and I will be posting about this) I believe article marketing is now way overdone by the SEO community, so I don't do it. I don't want to look like an SEO,or leave SEO footprints. As soon as you're doing the low hanging fruit stuff that everyone else is, you can be branded an SEO. That's not good. - making conversions: I would love a post on that. Except I'm not an expert. Maybe I'll have to call in a guest poster friend for that one. - adsense - for sure. Thanks again for the comments! Thanks Mat for that list.

Thanks Nick - good one. There's a lot of handy SEO plugins for firefox, yours is another one. Personally I stick to the search status one myself, but that's do mostly to habit. If you're just getting into this, it's worth investigating a variety of plugins for firefox. Aaron Wall of SEOBook <a href="http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html">has a firefox plguin for SEO</a> as well. I don't use it myself, but I'd bet it's good. I was just using searchstatus before Aaron's was released. Or, we can do it the mr. fancypants way that Nick suggests :).

I'd like to see you use this site as an example for SEO tips and what you would do to get this site to rank for certain keywords. Maybe show the traffic from the SEs on the keywords. This would be a nice real world example that wouldn't give away any secrets about other sites you run. Of course don't show us everything you.
