Here's a basic question in mathematics: What is 1 + 1?

A SEO master knows the basic, advanced and fundamentals of SEO.

You can't advance without the basics.

Your basics and advancement are bull@#% without the fundamentals.

Example of bull@#%

Top-notch SEOs offer to build a brand rather than just build links.

They help businesses, not only to rank in the search engines, but also to drive consistent and relevant traffic.

They help businesses generate, not only traffic, but also revenue and profit.

They create good and lasting customer relationships rather than just creating attention and exposure.

Top-notch SEOs can see the whole picture of the business because they understand the basics, the advanced and the fundamentals of SEO.

Review your company's SEO services page, and check what you are promising. If you are promising bull@#%, change them. Make a promise like a pro or like someone who understands the whole business.

SEO Tip #1

Top SEOs know how to integrate different marketing strategies, tactics, techniques and styles to form a powerful SEO campaign for a business.

Speaking of strategies, tactics, techniques, and styles... do you know their differences?

A strategy can be a grand strategy, a masterplan or a grand design.

Think about Obito's Project Tsuki no me!

In SEO, a grand strategy is your SEO grand design or master plan which covers a longer period of time and where all your resources will be utilized.

A SEO grand strategy is usually designed by a SEO entrepreneur, SEO director or the SEO mastermind.

In the military, strategies are created by the generals.

Yes, you can design your own SEO grand strategy and name it whatever you like.

So... do you have a grand SEO strategy?

Give your grand strategy or masterplan a cool name.

Now let's go to tactics.

Tactics are more specific than strategies and usually accomplished quicker than strategies.

In the military, tactics are executed in the battle field.

In SEO, tactics are executed in the SEO battle ground.

SEO tactics are executed by SEO team members and employees.

...just like the tactics performed by the soldiers in combat operations.

Now let's go to techniques.

A technique is a method of accomplishing an action or series of actions by using a special knowledge or skill.

In the military, technicians are like the pilots or the snipers they possess special skills.

Think about ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu techniques in the Shinobi world.

In the SEO world, techniques could include web development, analytics and even writing (because not anyone can write).

In other words, SEO technicians include web designers, web analysts, writers or those who have special knowledge or skill.

Techniques can be acquired or be developed through training.

So what is your best SEO technique?

Assess your people's current techniques. Send them to training to develop their skills further. Also consider hiring people or outsourcing skills that are important in your SEO campaign.

Now let's go to styles.

A style is a manner of how an action or actions are done.

It is more personal than technical. It's like your habit which leaves a pattern.

Unlike a technique which you are the one who will recognize it, a style is recognized by the people around you.

Your SEO style can even be recognized by search engines.

Your SEO style could be recognized by Google's Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird.

Your social media marketing style could be recognized by your social media followers.

Your marketing style could be recognized by your clients and customers.

Your management and leadership style could be recognized by your employees and subordinates.

Do you want me to guess your marketing or SEO style?

Are you black or white?Are you clean or dirty?Are you traditional or innovative?Are you silent or noisy?Are you focused or spread.

If your SEO style is dirty, no matter how effective your techniques are, your SEO tactics and strategies also become dirty.

Styles are developed by none other than yourself. Whether you like it or not, you have to learn how to develop yourself and embrace good values and ethics.

Spend quite time with yourself and do reflections to gain wisdom, maturity, and righteousness. From there, identify the marketing styles that will make your SEO campaign more effective and your results long lasting.

Your SEO styles leave a pattern that could be detected by Google. If you do it dirty, expect to be kicked out by Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird.
