Great advice. How about if I say to the editors of this website:
Thou shall not cease publication of the Get to the Po!nt newsletter because you will make a lot of people really sad. Especially me :-(
Great article. I've been wondering why people are making this so complicated and paying loads of money for help with it. Thanks for simplifying it.
Let me add: Thou shalt make search engine traffic a by-product (NOT your focus). I consider this to be the case in competitive niches with Google's constant shifting of the post.
Another one--thou shalt put thy visitors first! Before you do anything ask yourself if it will help your target audience in someway or is it just about your SEO. A lot of site owners make mistakes because they think SEO first.
