If you aren't retarded you're able to use meta tags yourself and watch out that you don't get too spammy with keywords.

Just get a few links with a high PR with related content and the right keyword as linktext and you're done if the area isn't too competitive.Of cour you always got to have more than your competitors.

Nowdays the SEO market is much smoke around nothing.

good luck :)

finally a guy who knows what he's talking about.

It's all about the meta tags :1orglaugh

Yahoo just lists your meta description.And there isn't much more to do beside keeping the target keyword in the content under 10% (better under 5%) and maybe optimising your directory names and internal linking structure.

If you've ever bought some hardlinks from quality sites with a good PR you'd know what it can do for you.

so, why don't you show us your top listings ?

I just checked some of my listings, and I disagree with you.
Yahoo is not using my metas in their listing descriptions.

Also anything above 5% in my eyes is spammy.

Optimizing directory names and internal linking structure is just part of any good seo....

No need for that.People just want to hear the complicated secrets that don't exist and not the easy way.

Why do you think guestbook/blog/ref spammers get an easy PR5+ on a page with almost zero content and are in the top positions?Magic seo tricks?No, just enough links and the right keywords as linktext if possible.

Yahoo took my hahahahahaha content="text here" name=description> as their listing description.
