As a blogger, why do you need to learn about SEO?
Everybody talks about it. If you are a blogger, and you are in it for the challenge, you have to read up on Search Engine Optimization. Why? because this is how you maximize your page visits and if you do become successful at it, opportunities can come your way in proportions you cannot even fathom.
I remember when I started blogging, I thought I could never get my blogs off the ground. I started with five blogs and within six months, they were ranked at PR 3 and one with PR 4. All because I read up on Search Engine Optimization.
According to Wikipedia, “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it “ranks”, the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.”
If you want to become a successful blogger, you have to be able to increase traffic and viewership to your blog. It’s like renting a prime spot at the mall. If your area receives a lot of traffic, you get more business. Think about it?
