Search engine optimization is something you need to be doing always. If you stop, your competitors will pass you, or the algorithms will change and you will be left behind.
Here is a simple formula for you to follow that will allow you to maintain and continue to climb in the rankings:
Add at least one new original unique article to your site every week.
Get at least 5-10 new links a month. (More is better but remember to keep it random)
Do those two things and the traffic will continue to roll in from the search engines and your internet business will bring you more financial success than you ever thought possible.
Finally, you should make a concerted effort to check out valuable resources online to learn more about SEO. The more you know in this industry the more valuable you become. I remember when I was working for an SEO company clients would say, “With this knowledge you can start any business online and be successful.” And they were right. It wasn’t long after that I left to start my own internet companies.
Also, if you are serious about becoming an internet business owner you need to get to know this industry. Take the time to learn and better yourself. I’ve had people offer me six figures a year to help them with their SEO because I have a sound knowledge of SEO.

Are there any good SEO web forums out there, that aren’t filled with pretend experts and black hat people?
