SEO Starter tips
What do you think do search engines want?
This question is the most important question that you can every ask yourself about SEO. Knowing what the search engines want will keep you on top of things. That’s why real SEO gurus always keep track of what the latest technologies are in the arsenal of the search engines.
There are many search engines out there but throughout this series, we will only be focusing our energies on the top 3. They are Google, Yahoo and MSN Live. Getting a good ranking on either of this three can result into tons of traffic to your website.
So what do they want? These three use different algorithms to determine who goes on page 1 but they have one common liking and that’s good content.
No, they don’t want those meta keywords tag and they don’t give much weight on meta description tags as well. Why? Because those tags are hidden from the eyes of the people. You see, Good content for search engines are content that they think will actually benefit human beings. This means that thinking of SEO as beating the search engines is down-right wrong.
I know that sucks because not so many people like writing their own content. Most aspiring SEOs want a quick andautomated way to rank well in the search engines. If you think that way, I tell you one thing – STOP THINKING THAT WAY because it ain’t working.
But what if you can’t write good content? Honestly, that’s the lamest excuse that one can ever make and I hear it all the time. You can write good content. You may not come up with an article that will win the Pulitzer Prize but you can write content that someone somewhere on the internet will be willing to read.
Content is King! It always has been and straying away from that path will only lead you to frustration and disaster.
Now, should we get rid of automation? No, of course not! In fact, in the coming days, I’ll show you how to automate a few things but still, good quality content still tops and that’s why I still keep writing my own stuff.
Write your own Content.
I don’t care what you want to write about. Just write and post it on your blog. That should get you going.
Always remember – content is king and good quality content is what the search engines want.
