If you're using Wordpress, try installing the All In One SEO pack plugin to your website/ blog.

It will allow you to add meta descriptions, titles and tags to each and every page/ post on your site.

This is called on-site SEO and in Malaysia, it actually works very well - I think Google really likes Wordpress

Of course you have to keep in mind that the content on your page has to match what you've placed in the All In One SEO pack or Google won't find it relevant enough to rank highly.

Remember that some niches are much more competitive than others (try Web Design MAlaysia or Web Hosting Malaysia) and that it'll take constant work to get ranked well in those niches.

Wow great conversation going on here on SEO and rankings.

I've always been an advocate of SEO and getting a great ranking and maintaining your rankings over an extended period of time. After all, search engine traffic is free, what more could you ask for?

But one thing I've noticed now a days, especially with Facebook exploding onto... the movie screens (haha) is that with a good social media strategy, you can get alot of traffic very fast, building up a user base for a website in no time at all.

So does that mean SEO is not as important as it used to be (I personally don't think so). What are your opinions?
