What is SEO exactly?

Could anyone point me to a site or blog that describes what SEO is because i'm a beginner and find all the information on these posts overwhelming.

 

That is because the vast majority of posts on this site are crap - just a bunch of self promoting BS for the most part.

Hi,,,mpreyesmr !

SEO is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Firms that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus, while others take a more broad and general approach. 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).
