I am slowly building a content rich site, with articles on each page (one article per page) and adsense on it....

and I have some questions which I please require answering....

Each page will have a keyword rich article, and the page will be Search Engine Optimized.....

Heres what I will optimize on each page...

tags, keyword tags, headline tags, Title tag, H1 Tag, keyword density per page, links to other pages, links to home page

^^ so each page will be optimised.

HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS...
I will have about 300 pages on this site, each containing a different article on a DIFFERENT keyword. (and I know SEO positioning takes some time)

a) Is there anything else which needs to be done to the pages, so the site pages are beneficial from SE's points of view, to these pages, (beside the list of things in RED above)

N.B I know positioning depends of other factors, incoming links, age of the site, I am working on external linking, and traffic driving methods- but just wanted advice on the optimization of each page..

b) As for the articles, are keyword stuffed articles a thing of the past? What is the new trend? or can I get away with using keyword stuffed articles to get good positioning? – or is there a new style of writing articles, which SE’s give more weight to in indexing them?

c)Do you have Any advice on my internal page linking structure of my site? (eg, all pages will obviously link back to my homepage)

d)Are there any other NEW TRENDS in SE's which I should be aware off, and do things to my new site differently, to avoid pitfalls - (eg Considering Web 2.0 strategies, do I have to do anything differently ?)


Please answer them questions thoroughly,
Thanks.

It sounds as though you're making a good start.

If by "headline tags", you mean including your keyword in the headline, yes, that's a very good idea.

Don't waste your time on keyword stuffing. Yes, there's a new style of writing, designed to please today's more intelligent search engines.

You haven't mentioned using sets and synonyms and latent semantic indexing (LSI). Here's a brief explanation from our Knowledge Base:
http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/knowledgebase/questions/96/Latent+semantic+indexing

If you go to http://labs.google.com/sets and type in "review" you'll find a set of keywords which may or may not be appropriate in your particular case. For example, if you were writing about reviews, you might add the phrases "comparative study" and "case study" to the page.

It's also a good idea to use different parts of speech, to help search engines identify the topic of your page. For example, instead of using the word "review" over and over again, you could also use reviews, reviewed and reviewing.

Sorry, I'm not going to answer all your questions thoroughly, because you've asked so many. Smile

You'll usually attract more useful answers if you ask one question at a time.

Website structure would be a good topic for a new post.

Few things to add:

Use a SITEMap .. SE loves sitemaps.
Do you use a script for your site or is plain HTML ?! IF u use a script it should have URL rewriting facility
htttp://www.site.com/category/article_title

About internal linking You should also link some pages ..with Related content as well

The site map is very important as well as proof you own the site. Google webmaster tools has tips on these for you.
