i am finding it hard to understand why SEO is so easy ... i had thought it was harder Nowadays , if sites do some on-page optimization and get some related backlinks , they easily have the work done ( Assuming the site has less competition , that is for a keyword with < 1 M competition ) What you have to do to find SEO easy ( this has been said everywhere in this forum) 1) Do keyword research , look for kw with high search volume and less competition 2) Build quality content 3) Get quality relevant links. Thats all and you are done . and also keep on updating your site every week.
What do you mean by easy? easy to get 1 visitors a day? 10? 100? 1000? optimizing your pages will not get you 1 visitor, theres much more to it than that...
hmmm no .. In fact i am finding it strange that it is so simple , easy . i had always thought seo was very difficult.
Well as i said in the first post , if there is a competition of less than 2 M , then it is easy . If you have a competition of 100 M , then it takes more time .
He said SEO is easy. Search Engine Optimization. Not VO... (Visitor Optimization? ) You can have a front page ranking and not get many visitors. Doesn't mean you aren't a good SEO you just picked the wrong keyword to optimize for.
Depends on how you are measuring competition. If you search for a phrase and see x results returned, they are not 'competition'. If you perform allintitle:"your phrase" and you see x results returned that is getting nearer to your competition as it's a safe bet that competing websites will put your search phrase in their title. But out of that number, how many are really competing? If a page has the search phrase in the title AND the search phrase in the anchor text THEN it's competing. Is the 2 million you quoted really the number of competing pages? If it is, I doubt that you'd find it easy to rank well unless you'd made areally big and sustained effort. But yes, SEO is essentially easy.
yes , exactly . There are also many keywords with high search volume and less competition .. so it is this which makes SEO even more easy
I’m probably not as talented as most but I find SEO to be a somewhat cryptic and very difficult endeavor. Even with less than 2 Million competitive pages indexed. -Kimmy
any other tip...look for misspell of your keyword. It sounds like cheating,,but it works good for bring in visitor
i agree, i can easily get 1000 visiters a month to my site with basic on page seo and a handfull of directory links
In a way SEO is easy... easy to understand... but the difficult part here is how to start building traffic especially when you're just starting... what we do is quite repetitive so in a way it's easy but there is so much to do...
It could be simple if done with the rules in handy... but could become very confusing if done with no proper knowledge. Manish
after your first couple of sites you learn to write your pages seo friendly from the start. (providing you already know what keywords you are targetting)
In my opinion, Yahoo is harder to optimize for me than Google and MSN. I think Yahoo has established their own sandbox and seems strange. Actually, I think Yahoo dislike my site and I don't know why. I saw some e-commerce site with content-light has been indexed by Yahoo very much but my site Real estate directory has been 2 months old and has been indexed for only 137 pages in Yahoo but 438 in MSN and 12,600 in Google (varies depend on each data center). So I focused on MSN and Google instead of Yahoo for now.
Yes! I totally agree here All new sites I am making are more SEO friendly and keyword considered, also with more experience you learn to make websites fast. Seo for me is to both have quantity and quality the more better but! you got to have a balance between these two and to much of one isn´t optimal at all.
