What is seo?

If your are a newbie and have heard the phrase seo, then let me help you a little and explain what is it all about.

Seo is the short term used for search engine optimization.

It is a process of making your websites optimized for search engines such as google.

Why use seo?

One thing any site needs, regardless of it's purpose, is traffic. You need people to visit your website.

You can use many ways of getting traffic to your site, but by far the best one is the free one. If you learn search engine optimization and optimize all your pages you can get free traffic.

Organic search engine traffic is where you naturally rank high on search engines for your chosen keywords.

This is one of the main types of traffic you want to be chasing.

When someone uses google search, they will normally only click on one of the results that appear on the first page above the fold, so you need to aim for top positions.

Where should a beginner start?

In this blog i am going to write articles just for beginners, i wont baffle you with big terms and i will take it slow.

Despite it's first impressions, seo is not rocket science, but it does take some hard work.

One thing i will start by saying is to stick with it.
