Technical lesson time – what’s SEO and why do I need it?

I get lots of questions about how to increase the visibility of a blog in search engines. The simple answer is to create a compelling site people want to re-visit often. However, given the fierce competition for traffic some basic Search Engine Optimization “SEO” techniques are warranted.

Experts agree that the top listing receives 40% of clicks, the second spot 20% and the third captures 10% of all viewers. The rest get a few percent each. ~ Gord Collins.

Most of us don’t have time to follow, and gain command of, the ever changing SEO rules. Thankfully options exist for seo help. I’ll send a shout out to one one such company, VastVision, because in addition to their services their site offers some great, free information for those of us who need to learn the basics. Happy Blogging!
