Ranking well within the search engines is very important because that is what is going to drive more traffic to your websites, blogs, and online content. In my opinion, SEO should become a habit for you because if your content is not in the search engines then your content’s reputation is not going to get past the family and friends that you tell about it. And your goal should be to get as much exposure as you possibly can.
Most people are curious how SEO actually work to improve their content’s ranking so I will go into that a little bit. Search engines have these robots that work as their personal spies that will go out and find the content that the search engines and then report it back to the search engines. Here’s the thing, you have to make it easy for these little spies because they have limits to the information that they can process and if they are denied then your content doesn’t get any exposure, therefore no traffic.
When I think of SEO, I like to think of search engine robots like that pesky neighbor you have that doesn’t know how to mind her business. She goes out and gets the neighbor hood gossip and comes back to share it with her best friend, who is like the search engine. And keep in mind we are not talking about any old gossip we are talking about that hot juicy gossip that just can’t be resisted.
Well the robots work the same way. There is only certain pieces of information that they are interested in and they go after it in order to report it back to the search engines. Now before I go any further, I want to express that this is a good thing. SEO is not to be condemned, but embraced. This is the one tattle tail that we do like.
Now when this information is reported to the search engines, it is stored in the database. The information they like they like the most is stored higher in the database (higher rank) and the information that they don’t like as much get’s toss at the bottom of the database (lower rank).
So in a nutshell SEO is very important, so take the time to learn it. You want to make it easy for the robots to gather your content’s information so that you can achieve higher ranks in the search engines.
By the way, you gotta love that picture at the top. It is so darn funny hahah!
