A recent study involving many of the world’s top SEOs has revealed their perspective on which factors most heavily effect the Google SEO of a website.

Much to my surprise, a domain name, the link building you do for a site, and the internal SEO of the site are all pretty much equally important at about 20% of the pie each.

What didn’t surprise me is that content leads the pack at nearly 25% importance for Google Search Engine Optimization. This makes sense. Content is king. He always has been.

The remaining 15% of the pie chart is shared by the likes of social media presence via Facebook / Twitter, proper Keyword research, server up-time and responsiveness, etc.

I think the biggest thing that readers should take from this article is that SEO has become a full-bodied art with many different factors that can contribute to or deter your SEO.
