I agree with you, the idea is to transfer it to a wiki or something like that once we have 101. I think for now, I will put all the suggestion into the first thread so that you can consult that if you are not sure of a tip you want to add, consult the consolidated list here

42. Place appropriate keywords in your anchor text when "linking."
43. Get people to comment and add content to your site. When they do this, they will provide you unique content, no need to pay for ghostwritten articles.
44. Write and publish a book. Having your own book is a quick way to gain credibility.

43. Ensure you site is written in grammatically correct English and its spell checked to give professional appearance.
44. Test you site in all major browser, you should at least test it on IE, FF and Safari.

You need to check your site in other browsers to ensure it display well. Sometime you can lose traffic because your site does not display properly in one of the important browsers.

45. Create a free resource that can only be accessed via your website.
46. Do not focus too much on PR, focus your attention on creating quality contents and building quality back links.

Sorry Temi couldn't resist given the subject

47. Use typos to get typo traffic - perhaps a jokey article about typos that annoy you in your industry.
48. Create a directory with a page about each of you competitors and optimise for their names. Here is an example Fish 4 Homes ? Hotproperty?s competitor - HotProperty.co.uk

I think it depends what you say about your competitors i.e. is it true. It is really common for customers to ask "why should I use you rather than x", so you had better have a good answer if you take sales calls. What is your USP (unique selling point)? cheaper, better, faster... It is simply a case of writing this down and putting it on the Web for your visitors.

49. Promote positive press mentions using the techniques in this thread.
