What is SEO and why does a Website or Blog need it?
These days it seems like the only thing that most website or blog owners think about, or put first on their list of top priorities for their site, is SEO.
As for our readers who don’t know what SEO stands for, it stands for Search Engine Optimization.
Search Engine Optimization or SEO, are some things that a website or blog owner (or someone else) can do to their site itself or it’s content, including it’s articles, images, etc. These things, some of which are more technical, are done so that a website or blog site is made easier and more friendly for the search engine sites like Google, Bing, Yahoo and so on to go through and see what a site has on it so that the search engine know when to display a certain site in it’s search results.
Dealing with search engines
Basically SEO are things done to make things easier for the search engines so that in return the search engines will show a certain website or blog site higher in the search results pages or SERP’s. The search engines like to find things easier so that they can display relevant results when someone searches for something.
There are many different aspects of SEO and many website or blog owners spend a lot of time and money to get their websites to be search engine optimized so that their site will climb their way to the top of the search results pages.
Why do you need SEO
Why do website and blog site owners want their site’s shown as high as possible in the search results pages? The main reason that site owners work hard on the SEO for their site’s is to increase the amount of traffic/visitors to their website. Traffic is very important to most website and blog owners because that will mean more people are seeing what they are trying to show the people who come to their site.
Website purpose
Some website owners are wanting people to visit their site’s because they have products or services that they are trying to sell, others want people to come to their sites so that they can sell advertising on their site’s, other site owners might have an event or message that they want people to see. No matter what a site owners reasons are, the more visitors a site has can mean some great and positive impact for the site owner.
