Thread: What is SEO?

A whole SEO chapter in only 2 post. Thanks guys for sharing with us those good informations.

These days Social networking is playing a major role in SEO. Although we do have different work strategies for the projects but still there are some points that we need to follow in all the same. The basic SEO ground rules are still important like - title tags representing the theme of the page, efficient code, SEO friendly design with human readable URLs, effective content, link popularity (internal and external) and of course well written meta data including alt tags and title attributes.

A search engine is an online database of websites that allows Internet users to search for information contained on websites contained in the database by “Keywords”. Keywords are words that Internet searches are likely to use when looking for information on a specific topic. For example, the words “grad schools” would likely be used when looking for information on continuing post-secondary education. Each search engine has slightly different behaviors and characteristics.

SEO in simple words is a process to get your website rank higher in search engines.

Its a another excellent post. I had seen that you have very wide knowledge of SEO. I wanna to learn from you. I hope you will keep sharing with all of us and thanks for this valuable post.

This is true because SEO does help in the promotion of sites and at the same time it requires some technical knowledge – at least familiarity with basic HTML. SEO is sometimes also called SEO *********ing because most of the techniques that are used to promote sites in search engines deal with text. Generally, SEO can be defined as the activity of optimizing Web pages or whole sites in order to make them more search engine-friendly, thus getting higher positions in search results.

One of the basic truths in SEO is that even if you do all the things that are necessary to do, this does not automatically guarantee you top ratings but if you neglect basic rules, this certainly will not go unnoticed. Also, if you set realistic goals – i.e to get into the top 30 results in Google for a particular keyword, rather than be the number one for 10 keywords in 5 search engines, you will feel happier and more satisfied with your results.

Although SEO helps to increase the traffic to one's site, SEO is not advertising. Of course, you can be included in paid search results for given keywords but basically the idea behind the SEO techniques is to get top placement because your site is relevant to a particular search term, not because you pay.

SEO can be a 30-minute job or a permanent activity. Sometimes it is enough to do some generic SEO in order to get high in search engines – for instance, if you are a leader for rare keywords, then you do not have a lot to do in order to get decent placement. But in most cases, if you really want to be at the top, you need to pay special attention to SEO and devote significant amounts of time and effort to it. Even if you plan to do some basic SEO, it is essential that you understand how search engines work and which items are most important in SEO.
