For me there are two distinct sides to SEO, onsite and offsite
Onsite being your own website and offsite being everything else online that has something to do with you

Ok so you have got all these keywords, you then need to take them all to Google keyword tool here you can enter them all and find even more!
I suggest working on hundreds of keywords, not just 5 or 10… if you want to be top for “Gifts” the only way you will ever be top for a keyword as competitive as this is by being present in Google search for all keywords surrounding gift ideas….
You want to generate as many keywords as possible
This is a great tool because it gives you an idea how many people are searching this term, and if I take the term retirement gift ideas for women we can see that only 1000 people are searching this term per month,
In fact in a lot of examples I show only 10 or 20 searches per month
This may make you think what’s the point on working for this keyword, whilst being high for this term may not bring you masses of traffic, however I bet the ROI on this term will be significantly higher than someone searching “gifts”
Its really important that we work on long tail keywords, as generally these can give you a significantly better ROI, don’t get me wrong competitve keywords are important, but ultimately if we want to appear top for a competitive keyword we need to appear high for lots of long tail keyword surrounding that keyword.
You then need to make a list of alll your products and services, adding to it keywords you would expect to be found for, but aren’t,
Or ones you would like to be found for.
You can then take some of these keywords and have a play with Google search.
This then helps identify more keywords that users search and shows you opportunities that you may not have thought about and considered. Giving you suggestions that could be good for your webstore.
Keep adding more words to excel and then go to the next tool semrush
So a link profile can be built using some of the following
There is a list on the screen, but I am just going to highlight some of them.
Posting to directories
These can be divided into three groups – General, Niche & Local. General would be directories such as White or yellow pages and so on. Niche obviously refers to directories relating specifically to your area of business, and local is anything based in your own area. All three can be useful, and while they may not attract so many visitors as other methods mentioned, they can be very useful in terms of mapping your location and influencing your ranking on Google Maps.
Link Directories
There are two basic varieties here – General Link Directories, which accept basically anything and everything, and Niche Link Directories, which are industry specific. The former, are really not worth investing time in – the sheer volume of links is immense and consequently the links are not terribly credible and these sited generally have a poor page rank. By all means, submit to one or two each month for the sake of link diversity, but do not consider these sites a priority.
Niche directories on the other hand, can be very worthwhile as they specifically target people interested in your field. For example, if you run a Party Goods Website, directories focusing on Event Management, Entertainments and the like, are more likely to be accessed by people that your site will be of use to.
The more selective choice of links published also contributes to the directory site having a better page rank, giving your own link more credibility.
Guest blogging
Many blogs are happy to accept relevant, well written guest posts, and will link back to your site in exchange for quality content. A link to your site on a relevant blog, can attract a huge amount of new traffic and do wonders for your Google rank – especially if the site you’re posting on already has a high rank of its own.
Articles & Press releases
Submitting an article, or press release to sites such as Article Dashboard or 24-7 Press Release can be a great way to expose your link to a new and wider audience. Don’t allow your standards to slip though – only submit content you would be happy to have on your own site, as it is still a direct representation of you. Also, don’t be tempted to submit the same content to a dozen different sites – it will be noticed, and do your site more harm than good. Keep your content unique and useful and this can be a worthwhile exercise.
Social bookmarking
Much like Social Networking, Social Bookmarking when it is social bookmarking sites done well, can be a very valuable tool. As with Facebook & Twitter, StumbleUpon & Digg buttons are an almost essential part of any great web design. Again, there are a huge number of platforms to choose from, so do a little research and decide which are a good fit for your project.
Social sharing
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest… love them or hate them, social networking is here to stay. In an age of smart phones and a need for constant, current information, any website not giving it’s readers the option to follow them on their favourite network, is taking a big risk. Social Networks allow you to build a community around your brand, encourage users to share your content, and ultimately, widens your potential audience.
Initially setting up the pages can be time consuming, but it really is worth it in the long run. If you’re overwhelmed by the variety available, pick perhaps three of the most popular networks and concentrate your efforts on those. Personally, I’d recommend Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest is a good third as a current rising star of the online world.
Local engagement, with local shops and communities
If you have a bricks and mortar retail unit, speak to local shops and local communities to see if you can guest blog, link to each other, offer each other resources online.
Do something for charity
This tends to get the charity or a online article linking to you
Suppliers
Speak to suppliers and see if they will link to you
Blog Commenting
A quick search for ‘[your niche] blog’ will return countless results of blogs you can get commenting on, and this can be a great way to build new links. Be selective though – choose blogs that are relevant to your business, and make your comments useful and relevant too – avoid just a ‘great post!’ or ‘I agree!’ – These just look spammy and won’t encourage people to visit your site.
forum commenting (babycentre, mothering.com, for baby related products, charity forums for particular audiences.. Maybe animal trust for pet related etc)
Create Link Bait
Link Bait is any content or feature, within a site, designed to catch people’s attention and interest. A funny photo, a great info graphic, a must have app… Anything that people are drawn to and feel compelled to share with their network.
Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive. There are many other ways of successfully building links, but if you’re just starting out, these ideas can help build a solid foundation to build on.
Remember too, that linkbuilding is not just about getting your name out there. It’s about networking, building relationships and trust to grow a solid, diverse and ever expanding profile of back links to your site.
Use the ideas above and challenge yourself to create ten new backlinks today. Do the same tomorrow, and then again everyday for a week. As your traffic grows, you’ll see for yourself how worthwhile the process is. Good Luck!
Trying to utilise all of these different web properties to create a solid spiders web around your site
Speaking to google we may say “ Hey google, where is the best place to eat in manchester?” we talk to these devices like they are friends.! If typed we would have probably typed “best restaurants manchester”
"best digital camera” will start to disappear, and hyper-specific searches will become more popular. Example: “Alexa, where can I find a waterproof video camera that works with Facebook Live?” Offer quick, succinct answers to questions that voice searchers are asking.
So for me SEO is common sense its nothing more than
Create great content
Ensure this content is accessible to search engines.
Make pages unique and relevant
