All right, you’ve been patient. Here are the essentials of what you need to know about WHAT Search Engine Optimization is all about and then I’ll get to the “HOW TO’s” in just a minute. Let’s walk before sprinting into uncharted territory.
To begin, SEO is growing in the web and rules do change often. Many companies have used SEO as a medium to attract potential customers as well as create awareness to the business. Realistically, there is no definite answer to what are the secrets of SEO algorithm. However, there are free SEO tips that are able to provide answers to this question.
Yes, I do that myself. When it comes to my primary blogs, I post the comments, I post the content, I do the forum posting in my SEO strategies. You have a lot of control and influence on that. When it comes to article distribution and buying links, Pinterest or submitting videos you don’t need to be involved with that so much because it’s not going to change the process.
Having a website that takes too long to load can also hurt your SEO- rankings. So you have to take a look into your website code and test it on different platforms. Make sure your website takes less than a minute to load even on the slowest bandwidth. Secondly, if your website code is messy, it will also lower your rankings. Try not to load too many graphics that may make your site slower to load.
Footer linking: Again, the search engines caught onto this one and ignore it. It looks too much like spam. Google and Yahoo have devauled footer links altogether. Footer links can also devalue some of the quality, relevant links that you have on your site.
There isn’t a magical formula; at least not one that’s evergreen so it’s important to stay current on SEO news. Dig deep to find information and read everything you can. You’ll find conflicting information at times but knowledge is power so absorb as much SEO news as you can.
If it is beyond the year 2009 and you are reading this, forget traditional SEO. Make your peace, leave a rose or two, say a prayer – and move on. The rest of the world (wide web) has. Socialized, or Viral Marketing, as it is called, is now the new King. Instead of attempting Old-Method (or any) SEO, focus on viral marketing.
