What is the importance of achieving a high Page Rank for the pages on your site? What's the deal with backlinks (links to your site from other sites)? The Prime Directive of basic SEO (search engine optimization) is getting a web site to the top of search engine result pages (SERP's) through the use of relevant backlinks. In the oldtime vernacular of vaudeville and burlesque proper SEO can make you the 'Top Banana'! This provides my segway to a photo of 'banana spiel' artist Phil Silvers.

SEO is all about consistently getting back links and Page Rank after the due diligence of optimizing domain names, subdomains, keywords and keyword phrases. When Google performs 'hard crawls' they begin with highest ranked pages which means Google views your sites more often as your page ranking improves. Therefore, as you create new sites you can raise their page rankings with backlinks from your higher ranked pages and so on and so on. Is anyone ancient enough to recognize the original 'Google Crawler'?
One source of Off-Page SEO are web directory lists wherein you submit your link. Be sure, however, to check the PageRank, price and relevance of these web directories. http://LiveArticles.Info seems to be a good source of info on web directory submissions.
Optimal SEO can result from a detailed 3 part strategy.
- Keywords
You need to study hundreds of keywords so you know exactly those keywords you want search engines to index you for - free keyword tools work just fine - Meta Information
Includes title and description tags that tell search engines what you are about so they can give you ranking. Example: Antiques|AntiquesToday.com for the title. Description should be kept to 2 or 3 lines about your website. Keywords - best to use 10 or less keywords so you won't be seen by search engines as a 'keyword stuffer'. - Marketing Plan
SEO Marketing thrives on article marketing and mass article submissions which yield quick and abundant backlinks. When you write and submit articles to directories you will be able to place backlinks with anchor text in your Author Bio Box. When you submit sufficient articles to the proper number of directories you will find yourself indexed for the keywords you choose in a short space of time.

Not all web pages find their way into Google's index. Only those considered to be of high quality with relevant keywords are indexed.

I got tired of living like the folks in this graphic and decided to '...take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them'.
