That is what SEO is, quality content for your visitors and then for the search engines too. Thanks for supporting the view. Karl,

I agree with your statement completely

“Taking the non-tweaker approach to SEO seems to deliver much greater longevity of high rankings as well.”

That is what SEO is, quality content for your visitors and then for the search engines too.

Taking the non-tweaker approach to SEO seems to deliver much greater longevity of high rankings as well. In our case we've kept our rankings for over 4 years with a focus on core SEO techniques and great content. The bonus? Because the content isn't a bunch of repetitive nonsense our conversion rate has improved right along with our traffic volume.

People are still considering Keywords density, but this is a wrong SEO mindset. It does not make sense anymore, since Search engines are using Latent Semantic Indexing.
