    Hello Everyone,

    I am wondering, and I am sure many other people are, what is SEO? And how can I do it to my website?

    Do websites have to be rich in keywords etc?

    I need your advice

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    Just type in Google headline of this topic, "What is SEO" and for sure you will find some answers.

    In short cuts SEO - Search Engine Optimization or optimization for your website to be placed with some keywords on some positions on search engines.

    QUESTION! Why do you have a link to 'SEO Boom" in your signature yet you are asking what is SEO and how it benefits you?

    Its probably best to hire an expert but unique content is key, thats why people are so desperate to get good writers. There are too much for any one to tell you here but do some research.

    SEO is good to get you in a good rank but careful with the methods, do not use black hat SEO! It is not a good idea after all...

    Search engine optimization or SEO is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving the internal and external aspects of the website in order to increase the traffic it receives from search engines. Optimizing a web site for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization (since so many of those elements intertwine).

    SEO has different ways in doing their jobs.. But as far as i know, their common task are:

    Article Submission
    Blog Directory Submission
    Directory Submission
    Link Partners Details
    Blogging
    Blog Comment
    Social Bookmarking
    Forum Posting.
    Keyword SERP

    and many more...

    I have some SEO resources listed on my website including SEO guides, books, software, tools, etc. You might wanna start with Rand Fishkin's beginners guide on SEO.
