As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.

Whenever someone asks me about meta tags I try to remind them that time is better spent elsewhere. Some variables matter…and some REALLY matter…I like to try to stick to the “trump factors” to use my time efficiently when working on sites.

If you could pick three factors to be tops on what would they be?

There’s hundreds of variables, but based on the algorithms, there always seem to be a few that stand out as the “trump cards” that make the others seem much less important to worry about.

First there was alt tags combined with titles and h1’s.

Then there was PageRank combined with Titles and internal anchor text.

Now, I think I’d take lots of unique linking domains linking to me from within body copy deeplinking to my content pages that are semantically related. (yes, this has gotten much tougher.)

Tomorrow it will probably be lots of users tagging my page with my targeted keywords combined with links from sites in the top 1000 and some type of editorial approval.
