Thanks Mark!

Many things have changed in the last few years, but the real foundation for SEO success hasn't changed much at all.

Yeah, sure, some important things work today that weren't even available years ago -- namely blog content and promotion, and social media promotion through Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Propeller, Twitter, or what have you.

Yeah, we should always find ways to add fresh content to our Web site, optimize all digital assets that we have (images, video, etc.), but the real SEO basics are still often overlooked or not understood by many.

Over these next two columns, I'll outline some of the common failings of Web sites for "newbies" who are trying to figure out this thing we call SEO.
