SEO Introduction

Search Engine Optimization is a technique used to increase the amount of traffic your website is getting. SEO involves optimizing your websites content to adhere to the search engines rules so that it can rank higher and effectively more people will be able to see your website.

SEO is very important when trying to make quick cash online, without traffic you won’t be able to make money. Most of the traffic you’ll want will be coming from the search engines. Of course there are other ways of getting traffic but I’ll be discussing that in a different post.

SEO is used to target specific keywords relating to your website for example if your website is about golf, when someone types golf in Google you’ll want your website to come in the top ten places. It includes many things such as but not limited to:

  • Content of your site
  • Meta tags
  • Title tags
  • Back links
  • Page Rank
  • Getting indexed in well known search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo
  • Internal Links
  • Keyword targetting

SEO is a very tedious job so some people pay hundreds of dollars to consultants for what I’m going to teach you for free, however it is well worth knowing this information so you can do it yourself.
