Back until 2005 there was no need to do anything else. Whoever dominated Google, beat the competition. SEO was the end all be all to advertising online and even though Google Adwords represented a quick alternative for those not interested in organic rankings, the art of having a website stay up there for targeted keyterms ensured long term success and positive branding.

You should only submit content to a forum with quality information and advice on article marketing as you want to be seen to be mingling in the right circles.

Let's discuss some basic SEO. To keep this from being long I will do this in parts. Over the spring and summer, I was working on an affiliate blog I set up. I did this to learn and become more familiar with SEO and how it works. I could  rank within the first few pages of Google, some on the first page. However, some have fallen a little in the search engines due to not updating and building links to that website lately. When I first came into internet marketing in 2008, and read an article on SEO, I had to google SEO to find out what it means. If you are in the same boat SEO just means Search Engine Optimization.
