STEPS OF SEO

How do I define SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION? Good question – there are a number of thoughts that come to mind:

1. the right answer – SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION is something that helps a website to increase it’s ranking in a search engine.

2. my ‘historical’ answer (THAT IS what I would have answered a few years ago) – SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION is about manipulating Search Engines in order to get them to send you as much traffic as possible.

3. the ‘in practice’ answer (THAT IS how it impacts me these days) – SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION for me these days is a combination of:

• about knowing some of the general principles that help a site or page to rank well in search engines
• building the best quality site that I can with content that meets the needs of readers (and as a result attracts links from other sites).

I guess I’ve come to learn that when you build a high quality website that SEO tends to largely look after itself

OPENION ON SEO

In my opinion, SEO is simply a facet of traditional marketing that focuses on the Internet medium. It involves implementing strategies and changes that make your website both search engine and user friendly — search engine friendly so that your site ranks well in search engine results for appropriate keyword searches, and user friendly so that you can provide a solid customer experience and yield high conversions.

PUBLISHING SEO

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION is the art and science of publishing and marketing content in a way that brings significant profitable and targeted traffic to your website. As the web has grown and Google has become more sophisticated, the field of SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION has been aggressively merging with traditional marketing, with emphasis on branding, framing, story telling, user engagement, viral marketing, and public relations.

Abraham Lincoln once said “With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.” That is where profitable sustainable SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION is headed.

WONDER SCIENCE SEO

2009-09-06T09:49:00.000-07:00

The art and science of raising a web page’s natural search engine rankings. SEO is broken into two distinct buckets: on page factors and off page factors. On page factors including such items as: a website’s crawl-ability, internal linking set up, keyword selection and placement, meta tags, etc. Off page factors being building link popularity (inbound links) into your website. I believe link building to still be the single most important part of the SEO equation

BEST SEO DEF

Whatever can be searched on can be optimized. Optimization for bots improves content discovery, indexing and trust (algorithmically). Optimization for the user experience improves clickthroughs, conversions and community. People that called themselves SEOs in the past are really just online marketers leveraging a mix of technology, creative and fundamental marketing expertise to make sales online. They’re more marketing consultants then SEOs even though the “SEO” moniker persists.

Definitions of SEO will change as search channels and user behaviors change, so it’s a waste of time to try and create a standing definition – in my opinion anyway.

Relationship with search engines

The acronym "search engine optimization" can also refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform search engine optimization services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer search engine optimization as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective search engine optimization may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, search engine optimization tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.
