SEO – It’s Not Just for Computer Nerds Anymore

The fast paced world of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has evolved – and will continue to evolve at exponential rates – as programmers and software engineers continue their quest for the ultimate search engine algorithm.

While designing an SEO strategy for my next project – it became apparent that the best SEO strategies of today seem to be in the areas of good old fashioned research, writing and communication skills. With only a tiny amount of programming knowledge required – gone are the days for computer nerds to rule the world of SEO. Cut and paste code is everywhere – take advantage of it – it’s free.

Blogs, blogs and more blogs - what’s up with all these blogs? Do you think it’s a coincidence that Google™ acquired Blogger™? Writing, generating fresh content – search engines love fresh content and users of the net are hungry for it. Obviously, the engines are rewarding sites with fresh content. Additionally, what better method of promoting your website than writing quality articles – including a few links – then submitting those articles to sites like GoArticles™ or EzineArticles™? Not only do you receive free, highly targeted publicity – but you also receive link backs with anchor text of your choosing – something the search engines take very seriously. Is there a better strategy? Obviously, there’s more to it than writing – but you should be getting the picture.

Gone are the days when programming strategies ruled the web – when programming tricks won the rankings – when clever computer nerds could outsmart the search engines. Don’t let the world of SEO scare you anymore. Be willing to do some research – check out SEOChat™, learn a little – it will take you a long way toward successfully marketing your website.
