SEO Checklist for Webmasters by Vancouver Web Designer

[MayurJ]

Hello Vancouver! Got a free checklist for you if you are into SEO.
In exchange, I'm asking that you add your SEO tips and ideas here and
improve this list. I launched my site last week and have been working
on improving Pagerank and SEO. I'm using Websitegrader.com at the
moment and have reached a grade of 73 thus far. Of course, it's just
one of many tools to give you feedback about your site, but I'm hoping
to reach a grade of 90 or better - mostly as a personal challenge and
to learn more about SEO but also cause I can write a post about it
after and teach others how I got it.

Besides getting lots more inbound links, what else can I do? Should I
guest blog? Get into payperpost blogging? Pay for Yahoo listing?
Submit to Directories? Comment on blogs a lot more? Have a look at my
site and let me know if you can see any changes I should make.

Now here is the free checklist. It's a list I have been building over
the last 4 months in Basecamp as a template and it's an accumulation
of more than 5 years doing this for clients. I'm upgrading the list
all the time and adding my knowledge to it.Hope it helps and if it
does, a comment or reply saying so would be great.
