SEO is not magic it is simple, choose, target, and emphasise your SEARCH ENGINE KEYWORDS!
Even today with image search, multimedia, and podcasting the basic building block for most internet content is words. When we search we type words, to tell the search engine what we are looking for. Search engines take our query and look for websites that write about the sort of things that we are interested in. Then they offer us a list of the sites that match - or sometimes match what we want.
This is not a very complex system. Of course today there are a number of other factors that will affect search engine position. But optimising your site for search engine keywords, SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION is still the basis of search engine success. Without the basic SEO you have no chance.
The more observant readers will have noticed already that this page tends to mention "seo" and phrases like "search engine optimisation" and "search engine keywords" quite a lot. You may also have noticed that when we do mention these phrases we try to vary them with <strong> <italic> <uppercase> and <lowercase> <H1> <H2> and <H3> tags.
If you look at the source for this page you will also notice that although we use lots of different tags, there is little html visible in the code. Most of the body of the page, is pure visible text. The biggest secret of Search Engine Optimisation, the S.E.O. key is that there is no secret.
The more devious you try to be and the more that you try to fool search engines, the longer you will be waiting for any kind of success. Search engines are looking for clarity and honesty. In the short medium and long term clarity and honesty will win. If you want to attract good traffic for a particular subject. Then you need to provide great, unique content, that will help and inform people on that subject.
There are no short cuts to success it takes hard work and patience and above all it takes perseverance to achieve maximum results. You wont find any mention of hard work on most SEO secrets sites. They tend to be more interested in pushing the idea that you an get rich quick, get overnight success and become an internet millionaire.
Think about it. If you had the secret that could make anyone, even someone with no internet knowledge or experience an overnight internet millionaire. Would you sell it for $19.99 or even $999.99? If the answer is no. Why would you pay $999.99 or even $19.99 to someone who makes these claims.
