If content is king, search engine optimization (SEO) is the queen responsible for his ascent to the throne.
Defined by Moz as “the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website” via organic (read: unpaid) search engine results, optimizing content for SEO affects its Google ranking — and in turn, its overall success, as 75 percent of users never venture beyond the first Google search engine results page (SERP). Anything that ranks beyond it has a slim chance of ever being viewed or clicked on. (It’s one of those tree-falls-in-a-forest situations: If a website goes live and winds up on the third or fourth SERP, does it even exist?)
The point is that a solid SEO strategy matters if you want your site and its content to rank well and thrive. If that’s what you’re after, look no further than the Complete SEO Certification Training Bundle for an eight-part education in the latest SEO trends, tricks and tips.
