Matt Cutts works at Google and specializes in SEO issues. See his latest literature, under Playlists, at youtube's Google Webmaster Central.

At Google Webmaster Tools, while logged in, click Request reconsideration, after you fixed a problem that probably was an algorithm penalty. While you're doing this, what you'll find, written by Google, is that: For sites that directly profit from traffic, evidence of good faith is important. Google wants to know when you are really a person of integrity.
-------
Natural link building is done according to God's will. Unnatural backlinks, the kind that other competing webmasters cannot manipulate, most likely, are an SE algorithm penalty.
-------
I am playing the SEO game conservatively, by minimizing outgoing links to sites that have a PR 0 Home Page.
-------
To Check for Nofollow Tag: At web page, View > Source, click Edit, Find, then type nofollow. When there are no nofollows on the page, that's all that needs to be done. When you find a nofollow on the page, see if the <head> </head> tags were already searched. When it does not block the whole page from engines appearing as <head> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> </head>, search for your url name and check to see if nofollow is there. When the nofollow is attatched to your link, it looks like: <a href="http://___/" rel="nofollow"></a>.

See Thy I Statements, to cultivate desire for SEO work. The passion we show in carrying out God's will, in our work, is a gift. For this, I am thankful.

Top keyword rankings at SEs is the easy goal of the veteran SEO because work is fun. What is more fun than having sites at the top of organic rankings? There is nothing else! That is it! The game is won, for the day, and the money you make is just power stuff.
-------
Search engines can measure the usefulness of a web page, by keeping track of users who return to sites using the same keyword search at a later date. In other words, SERP outgoing clicks are, most likely, an important factor in SE algorithms.
-------
With no new backlinks, good keyword rankings drop, like a bad work habit.

Organic Search Engine Optimization Work Priorities
(Discovery Updates)

Giving effort to implement all my ideas really gets your website at the top of keyword searches! Just keep reading this page, then read Thy SEO Checklist. Why not commit to SEO priorities right now? Be patient! It could take up to 2 years for high keyword rank at Google.
--------------------
I've been having fun with keyword rankings for 6 years now. The more polished my skills get, the greater peace of mind I have. In the beginning, I did some fairly stupid things, like spending time on high-risk BLs (backlinks).

Now, after years of SEO Testing, I focus on the following 4 Priorities:

#1. SEO Work Schedule for the Expert:

Sunday: (1) rest (2) easy emails (3) fun content updates [see ThySEO Checklist #5]

Monday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs [see ThySEO Checklist #3], other top-priority SEO, and link swap emails (2) content updates

Tuesday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs, and other top-priority SEO (2) emails (3) content updates

Wednesday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs, other top-priority SEO, and link swap emails (2) content updates

Thursday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs, and other top-priority SEO (2) emails (3) other SEO [see bottom half of Thy Checklist]

Friday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs, other top-priority SEO, and link swap emails (2) content updates

Saturday: (1) 4 hours of: new BLs, and other top-priority SEO (2) emails (3) content updates

Doing the following three things qualifies for top-priority SEO: (1) The creation of new inside pages. This is, really, building new backlinks. (2) Outbound links, acquired through link swaps, not working because some of these may be connected to a bad web neighborhood (an engine penalty). (3) Checking reciprocal backlinks of those outbound links, acquired through link swaps, that have a PR 0 Home Page. When a site's most popular web page is PR 0, then there is a possibility that it may be tagged, by Google, as being in a bad web neighborhood. Pointing a link to a bad neighborhood is a penalty, according to Google Webmasters.
Tip A: I make sure my sites that do well at engines get 5 good backlinks a week, before working on my other sites. Focusing on your high engine hitters brings in more traffic than trying to quick-start a new high hitter. Experienced webmasters in web site tracking (Google Analytics) know this. Also, search engines update their rankings, on average, every 10 days; more frequently at Google, less at Yahoo and msn. With this in mind, five quality backlinks a week for one site is good enough for an increase in SE ranking. An experienced webmaster is one who focuses on getting high quality backlinks and knows how to get them. [see ThySEO Checklist #3] Acquiring 1 good backlink should take, on average, 15 minutes. That is 4 per hour! What about all the free work time for webmasters who maintain a small amount of sites? Buy to Own up to 10 URLs and acquire up to 20 free pages and blogs!
Tip B: Responding quickly to link exchange emails should always be a priority.
Tip C: Beginning SEOs may use the above Work Schedule, but must also make knowing engine algorithm penalties a priority. See Google Webmasters & Yahoo! Webpublishers

#2. I commit 8+ Hours a Day, to do the work that will get my sites at the top of keyword searches. I know that 100% of the reasons for top SE rank are the responsibility of me, the optimizer. Reasoning Ratio Why a Website Ranks High for Keywords:

18% because of old natural BLs (1) (2) |
15% because of new natural BLs (3) (4) (5) |
15% because of it's useful service(s) or resource(s) (6) (7) |
7% because of it's updates (8) |
5% because of keywords in it's page content (9) (10) |
5% because of relevant keyword(s) in it's url name |
4% because of minimal use of other unethical SEO (11) |
4% because it has minimal outbound links not working (12) |
2.5% because it contains many links to it's web pages (5) |
2.5% because of it's url's old age |
2.5% because each web page has a good title meta tag (13) |
2% because of use of other ethical SEO |
2% because it has a minimal amount of pop-ups |
2% because it's images' byte size are small on average (14) |
1.5% because it has many of it's own inside pages |
1.5% because of minimizing HTML bytes (14) |
1.5% because it has minimal outbound links to PR 0 indexes |
1% because of HTML write-up validating (14) |

1% because each web page has a good description meta tag |

0.75% because each webpage contains under 100 links (17) |
0.75% because it has good <h1> and <h2> tags |
0.75% because most of it's hyperlinks contain a title tag (18) |
0.5% because it's on a fast server (14) |
0.5% because it hosts most of it's images (19) |
0.5% because of bold keywords in content |
0.25% because each page has a good author meta tag (20) |
0.25% because each page has a good keyword meta tag |
0.25% because some of it's images have alt tag (21) (22) |
100% engine algorithms, from an expert SEO's point of view!
(1) 1%+ of all it's BL titles must be exact keyword phrase |
(2) Unnatural BLs, built by it's webmaster, are bad |
(3) Required! For help, see Thy SEO Checklist #3 |
(4) 1/2 to most new BLs must be to inside pages |
(5) Linking it's web page to it's 1 other web page = 3/4 of a BL |
(6) 2+ inside pages containing good content is Required |
(7) See Thy SEO Checklist #6 |
(8) Updating main web page every 3 to 7 days is a must |
(9) Keyword stuffing is a penalty - see Matt Cutts Interview |
(10) See Thy SEO Checklist #1 and #2 |
(11) See Google Webmasters & Yahoo! Webpublishers |
(12) Removing all broken links every 4 months is Required |
(13) Required - set between <head> </head> tags |
(14) Keeps a site fast for happy users and robots |
(15) See Google Sitemaps > Stats > What Googlebot sees |
(16) 7+ consecutive hours of server downtime is bad |
(17) See Google's Design and content guidelines |
(18) Looks like: <a href="http://seo.com/" title="SEO.com"> |
(19) Keeps web site speed contingent on one server |
(20) Authors in the public eye are more trustworthy |
(21) Looks like: <img src="seotips.gif" alt="SEO Tips"> |
(22) Google Chrome web browser does not support image alt |

My daily work routine consists of four hours of top-priority SEO in the first five hours of the day. My second priority is creating and updating my useful resources as much as my time allows. I already have a list of all my sites' relevant keywords in notepad. On my IE browser, I have quick bookmark links to this validator and this meta tag analyzer. I check all my HTML write-up, when uploading quality pages.

#3. I understand and Implement all valid SEO Advice I read. I now really focus on understanding another webmaster's SEO Tip, even if it sounds far-fetched. A successful webmaster reads literature and implements those things that are repeated by two or more successful webmasters. Once-heard-of advice, like some things on my SEO Checklist, may be difficult to believe. But if you really want top ranking, why not give effort to implement all advice? It's only a time commitment issue!

#4. I avoid link exchanges with those webmasters who end the agreements. I do this by placing all urls to avoid in notepad in alphebetical order. I also use Google PR and a link:__ search at yahoo to ensure fair agreements. Also, I check my outbound links about one hour, every other day, taking out the bad ones. The less links I have, the more my sites have error-free outbound links. Note: Removing a reciprocal backlink first is not recommended. Doing so only increases the odds of your backlink being deleted. I have always kept all my outbound links up until I notice my backlink has been removed.
--------------------
I am currently unavailable to do any backlink work on sites that are not mine. Building 100+ quality backlinks for another webmaster is not really a fun thing to do because the rewards are only non-commission fees. I would rather serve people by publishing the effective SEO I discover.

If you give Effort to do everything I say to do on my SEO Checklist, for 8 hours a day, your site(s) should do well in 6 to 18 months at the engines. Are you asking, why does it take so long? Or, is not there a faster way to get SE results? Just be patient! SE algorithms place popular URLs at the top because they know they are useful to the user based on unbiased popularity calculation. The quickest way to the top of engines is through habitual work on SEO priorites.
