After two weeks of searching, I have finally discovered what SEO is!

SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization.  That basically means you want your website to show up as EARLY as possible in the search engine results page (serp) when somebody Googles for your targeted keywords.  For example, if your blog is about golf, then you SEO your blog so that when somebody googles “golf,” your blog is listed not too far down the serps.

Complicated?  Not really!  Ideally, the higher your blog is in the SEO rankings, the more traffic you’ll be getting.  Yes, I believe in producing quality content, but nothing beats visibility for generating traffic.  More traffic equals more income, and who doesn’t want that?

For that reason alone, SEO may as well stand for Sucker Exploitation Optimization.  Webmasters and bloggers and online entrepreneurs all aim for high SEO ranking websites.  It’s just good business.  In theory, Google (if you’ll notice, I keep using Google as the default search engine because Google is the BIG G.) ranks website according to relevance and substance to their keywords.  However, greedy website and blog owners (all of them more enterprising than I) find ways to SEO their websites and blogs into top rankings in the serps, duping us unsuspecting surfers and making a pretty profit in the process.

So there.  After two weeks of tireless research, I finally know what SEO REALLY means.  And man, we have GOT to make some money off of this!
