A WebmasterWorld thread has some respected SEOs in our industry dishing out their best SEO tips.

Keep in mind, this is a public forum and any crazy, underground tip will likely not be shared here. Nor would those underground tips last too long if they were shared. That being said, here is a compilation of some of those tips in the thread, but I’d recommend you get into the sharing and share your own in the thread.

Best SEO Tips via WebmasterWorld:

Focus on semantics
Focus long term and not on short term goals
Anticipate algorithmic changes months or years out
Simple, validate your HTML
Social networking and sharing for links
Give up on SEO and go with word of mouth traffic

The thread is pretty new, so get into the debate.
