I’ll make sure I remember those things. I started this new site because my old site was a clusterf*ck when it came to SEO. It ranked well after a year of off-page SEO, but the on-page SEO was a real nightmare. Trying to get all the foundation set from the start this time. Knowing my luck, the hacked up version will rank better than the well built one, we’ll see I guess!

Yes, on Page SEO is still very usefull, but the main things to be aware off is to write great titles! with Keywords in them, use real descriptions (no repeating your keywords…) en just use about 5 tot 6 keywords which are also used in the page content!

Also use the Alt and Title Tags for your Images where possible!

Is this type of on-page SEO still important to do? I am currently writing lots of meta tags for my site, creating well written titles, etc…or is this useless?

Old school SEO was about putting a lot of you keywords in the Title and Metag Keywords.
That use so work very well, before Google and the other found out and changed the game..

New school is much more advanced, looking at you website structure, finding related sites to get links from and linking to, using Social networking sites like technorati en del.ic.us.

Both also puting up Blogs with Software like WordPress to write posts and linking to others, giving them trackbacks.

But the focus on SEO today is that you need quality content for people to link to!
And afcourse what your visitors want to read..

I am struggling to get into understanding Joomla and SEO. If you had to break down “old school” and “new school” SEO what would fall into those categories? What exactly is old school SEO?
