    When working from home, some online companies seek SEO. So is it necessary to know about SEO? Do we have a course?

    SEO helps you to rank well in the search engines. Well placed in the engines--- more traffic----more revenue.

    There isn't any course as such- you'll be better off by doing self study

    If you have a website, it is always a good idea to at least know the basics of SEO. If you hire an SEO expert, this will give you some insight as to what they are talking about - so you are not totally at their mercy.

    There are many, many resources to learn basic seo. I have noticed an increase in small business website owners and independant website owners who want to do their own optimization. So for them, they definately should know SEO. Otherwise, what are their options??? Hire it out, but like I said in my first paragraph, learn the basics.

    SEO is among the most cost-effective ways of marketing. SEO not only increases the website traffic and sales of your product but also gives your brand a high international profile.

    SEO helps website to get a good ranking positions in major search engines like google, yahoo. Which helps website to reach targeted customers/visitors.

    It may also reflects the sell of the products through website.

    90% of the people use search engines to know about sites/details online.So as a webmaster we should first target that traffic which will be true and natural.Thatz why people study SEO and do it!

    SEO (Search Engine Optimization) allows your website to be "ranked high" in the Search Engines. This means that your website will be listed in the initial pages of the search engine when a keyword relevant to it is searched for. Hence, in case you have an online business, this is extremely beneficial in directing a high amplitude of traffic to your pages. More traffic=more revenue. You get the point.

    Another point to note - SEO involves the use of keywords. Overuse can have adverse effects. Proper SEO involves a moderate keyword density.

    There are plenty of resources online to learn basic SEO skills, which if applied to most websites would likely improve rankings.

    More importantly, creating a quality website with good content that provides value to the web (or offering practical advice to clients on how to achieve this if you are looking to be a consultant) will take you a lot further than even the most advanced SEO tactics.
