I think having a thread listing different pieces of SEO could be handy for anyone wanting to do SEO whether for themselves or for other people. I think it can also be useful for people looking to put together SEO packages to sell and have a list they can choose to include in their packages. I created a base group of high level categories that are broad and should contain common tasks for that category. I don't think we should deep dive into HOW to execute the tasks and instead focus on coming up with tasks you find yourself doing to improve SEO on a website.
Feel free to add tasks to the category and suggest new categories. I don't think we need to separate local from non-local SEO ranking, but I am open for suggestions.
This is a work in progress.
On Page Optimizations
This sections includes tasks that are performed to the website directly to make the website easier for search engines to crawl. Besides adding new content to the website, these tasks are usually done once and then periodically checked for changes.
Off Site Optimizations
Includes improving outside awareness to the website and focuses on generating traffic.
Analyzing, Monitoring and Reporting
Measuring the working that was done, providing feedback, and making adjustments.
To be continued...
