SEO Tactics - Internal
The goal of search engine optimization is to increase the flow of traffic to your site. You may have many reasons for this: selling your product, increasing your ad revenue or just for notoriety. Well, probably, its not the last one. In any case, most internal SEO will benefit your users as well as your placing in search engine results so you have no excuse not to make sure your own house is in order.
A successful SEO campaign needs a quality site to succeed. If your site doesn't deliver the goods you won't warrant a bookmark and gain important repeat users. Put simply, quality sites will self-optimize. Important one-way links will pop up all over the place with no work or money. Regardless of how difficult a key word or phrase you are targeting, its in your best interest to give users what they want.
Search engines are in business of delivering quality results to their users. Sites which don't respect this and rely heavily on optimization over quality content are far more at risk of being punished when the search engines change their ranking algorithms to compensate for heavily optimized sites with poor content.
In the end, search engine optimization is only one part of what goes into a successful web site. Time has to be spent on improving content, branding and thinking up new and better ways to serve visitors.
