Although 'webmasters' have very different views on what is and what isn’t when it comes to SEO, in my humble opinion only the search engines themselves know what is. We have a full picture of what it takes to get to the top, but our information into what's most important is mixed up from webmaster to webmaster. The truth of it is that if every webmaster knew what it took to get there, we’d all be #1….. So its always going to be trial and error, good individual guess work and seeing what works best for other related sites.
Search engines are the bread and butter of all websites, so optimizing your site is a must if you want on-line success, higher rankings brings more clicks. With that said being listed in search engines alone is not enough to ensure your business gets the attention it deserves. Its very important for you to get your own domain name with the keywords you plan on using, as free domains are useless if you are serious about your on-line business, unless of course your website is a blog.
Keywords is an important factor of SEO as search engines use these to judge a sites relevance through textual content. If your website is image led, the best thing to do is add some text into your images, using ALT in your meta tag; for search engines to read.
The most important meta tag to get right is the title and description because search engines use these to judge a sites relevance to a search query from a possible visitor. So your choice of keywords in your title and description is what should make you stand out from the crowd of hundreds of thousands of related websites. Although the description is as important as the title; the title is key to on-line success.
Increase your inbound links and get your site listed with search engines all it takes is a link on some ones' listed and popular site and you get listed too, because active sites get crawled all the time, searching for new content. This is just the start of a long road to number 1 though; of which you may never achieve.

i would like to ask a question? is it good to include "category" word in the permalink or exclude it and replace it with just the name of the category say like "google"?
I would say for the sake of SEO replacing the word "category" with the name of category would be the best bet. It kinda makes the permalink unique wouldn't you say?
