Hi all, My name is Akos. I'm a young blogger and internet marketer. I own several global and local websites and blogs (One of them is in my signature). I'm also interested in search engines. So many people don't understand the importance of them. If you are one of those people, please read this and you will be amazed by the things that SEO can do to your site. So hang on and enjoy the ride. Lets say you have a website about Google tips. OK; now lets see the number of searches for this particiular keyword. (Visit: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and type in "Google tips" to the input box). You will probably see that there are 49,500 people who search for this term per month. That is about 4.91 searches per minute and about 300 searches per hour. If you are in the first postition for this phrase you would get nearly the 1/2 of the search traffic. So you would get 24,750 free visits per month from only this search term. Isn't it facinating? Of course it is. So now do you understand the importance of search engine optimization? If still not, here is a more effective example: Lets say you rank at number one for "facebook". Of course this is impossible in this Facebook orientated world. This phrase gets 2,520,000,000 searches a month. Thats right, more than two billion. So if it would be possible to rank at #1 you would get 1,260,000,000 (1/2 of the searches) visits to your site. Thats 2,080 pageviews per SECOND(!), 124,800 per minute and 7,488,000 per hour. More than seven million per hour? That is 2 times more than the visits that TechCrunch.com gets per month. I hope now you understand the importance of SEO. So get out there and start building backlinks and improving your PageRank. Maybe you will be the next and best Search engine marketer in the world. Hope you will keep this stuff in mind when optimizing your site. Thanks for your time. Best Regards, Akos

Great post my friend. SEO is indeed very important, and you have pointed out some very good points here. Thanks!
But I have heard that SEO is a long term method.So, is there any method in SEO to get result faster soon.
People around have been more aware about importance of SEO. Especially e-commerce site owners. But they noe need to learn is conversation...how to increase ROI on Internet Marketing campaigns . Can you help me with some resources for that ?
Another great blog I found was SEO Lab (http://www.seolab.com.au) - but it's their SEO tutorials that will help out the 'newbies' to SEO
I recently read somewhere, "If you ignore seo, it's like having no signs, and blank windows in your building. Potential customers will drive past, not realizing you are there"
