Why SEO?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the professional effort to ensure your website will come up at the top of a Google, Bing or other search engines. Why should you care about SEO? Well, why did you create your website in the first place? The goal of a website is to be seen, whether it’s to sell a product or service, showcase your skills, or monetize a blog on WordPress.<\/p>\n

But SEO is complicated, and the algorithms behind the search engines change. That’s because there are ways to game the search engines. These techniques are generally frowned upon, and they don’t work very well for very long.<\/p>\n

Techniques such as keyword stuffing (where one or two words are repeated ad nauseam until the writing itself crumbles into an inarticulate mess) are just one example of \u201cBlack Hat SEO.\u201d While they may push you to the top of the heap for a second, as soon as the rules for SEO change, you\u2019ll plummet to the depths of the search query, perhaps never to be heard from again.<\/p>\n

There have been many conflicting e-books published about the SEO techniques you should be using. In practice, it can be confusing to the point of not even knowing where to start. Before you get too frustrated, take a peek at our top three tips on optimizing your WordPress blog for SEO.
