You may not understand the term SEO, neither do I. I am not a professional myself and definitely, I am more like most of you. Currently, I am exposing myself to more of such contents, like SEO etc. This is important as to provide quality content on Bloggitudes.

What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is method to improve quantity and drive quality traffic to your websites or blogs without spending a dime through search engines. This method of getting traffic to your website or blog is very effective. Most of us, start off by trying not to spend a single cent and also expect results. You might be unsure if this path is right for you. Thus, I recommend you to read up on SEO. As mentioned earlier, SEO is free but you will need to fully understand it before gaining from its benefits.

Why is SEO effective?
Basically, traffic from search engines shows a higher interest in your website or blog. The reason they have landed on your website is because they have search for a topic that can be found on your website. And of course, your website or blog is included in one of the results. However, this may not be useful if your website is not found within the first few pages of results. People tend to view only the first few pages of results as most results tend to get more irrelevant.

For new-comers, your website tend to not be listed in various search engines because it is new. Search engines use web crawlers, also know as web spiders, to locate websites. This may be the only type of spider you will love.

Here are the few popular search engines that you should get your website listed on:
1. Add to Google
2. Add to Yahoo!
3. Add to Bing

Forcing the spiders to your website isn't sufficient. You need to have good content to keep them coming and be the first few of search results. It is also a way to keep your readers. You will not want to provide something not so interesting and yet, expect people to read it. They may stumble on your website once, but they will never be back. Be sure to keep your contents up-to-date and contents that are intriguing.
