A few words about SEO



SEO what a big thing for only 3 letters! Well you already all know that it stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It is one of the most important thing to get visitors into your website! Well, If you ever want to have a website of if you work for a company that needs you to increase the website visibility. I don’t know if you remember my post from last week about HTML writing about the fact that it was a complex thing, well SEO is even more messed up because nobody knows for a fact how to influence it. For those whose it’s their first time hearing about SEO, SEO are a common word to describe the efficacy of a website on a search engine such as Google (which is the most famous obviously), Chrome, Firefox etc… In other words, where will your website be located on the research pages. Here we are talking about “Organic” SEO, because there is also “paid” SEO. The paid one is when you pay the search engine to get your website at the top of the page but it costs money and it might not be the most effective way to get visitors into the website. The organic one means that the actors and components that can influence the SEO ranking are inside the website. It’s commonly known that the main actors are backlinks, headings, keywords, loading speed, mobile friendliness etc… The list is very long but at the start it is better to focus on the main ones and do them well rather that trying them all not properly.

You can’t cheat on google, back in the days people were trying to increase their SEO by using black hat techniques which are forbidden by Google. 

Google is constantly changing and updating the algorithm to keep it secret and innovative. The two major ones are Google Panda and Google Penguin, why animals name? I don’t have a clue.

  1. Search Engine Optimisation is very important nowadays, we just can't go past it. Anyone who wants to drive traffic to their site should absolutely use it. Good job for describing what SEO is in such an easy way – it can be very difficult to understand if you've never heard of it! Keep up with the good work!

  2. Hi Valeintine - Interesting read on SEO. Defiantly agree on what you said about not being able to cheat on Google. We learned last year about the White hats and Black hats techniques. I didnt have any understanding about this before starting the course!
    You also mentioned about the algorithm constantly being changed - I guess Google will always be a few steps ahead of us!
    Thanks
