Getting Started With SEO.

[SEO Consultants]

It is very often the case that when you submit the request it does not get approved straight away... By the way, when you submit requests to directories we have found that you get a 20% better success rate if you use an email address that belongs to the domain your are submitting!

Then of course once your request is approved you have to wait for Google to crawl the page of the directory that has your listing on... before it will show up on your websites backlinks.

going back to the original post, i think you nailed it with the basics and get place to start.

When created a backlink, it does take time for google to pick up so give it a few weeks then check again and you will it...........hopefully

You might want to mention this about keywords as well...
First, don't focus on trying to rank for every keyword. Pick a few keywords, 5 at most, and get links for those keywords.
Once you start to see results and get top ten rankings, then start on other keywords as well.

Off-Site Optimization is the best ways to get traffic for your website.

Personally i use forum posting and social networking to get traffic to my website but don't forget to make your On-site optimization too because it's an another important steps for SEO.
