How to get confused with SEO

Written by Shael Web Solutions

Cry with me after reading this article

Search Engine Optimization is a lucrative business these days. Wait, I will debunk that claim in a future article. Let’s move on.

Every business or individual who runs a website or a plethora of websites want to see their URLs exalted on the top 10 results from Google search. You can forget the other search results from other search engines. Seventy percent of search activities in the globe are served by Google. That’s why Microsoft and Yahoo are so worried about this fact.

In order to be listed on top of search results, as an SEO-webmaster, you will deploy strategies and tricks, preferably not the Black Hat SEO methods, so as to gain the admiration of Googlebot, Google’s robotic spider that crawls billions on web pages every day.

So you read books on search engine optimization. Then, after burning midnight candles, you now feel so confident of your SEO knowledge.

At the peak of your secret joys of having learned deep SEO tricks, a news comes with a chorus of dream-shattering voices from search engine spiders:

“NoFollow Attribute Is Now The CAll of the Day;

Meta Tags Are Now Ignored;

Forum Signatures Are Worthless;

Blog Comments Are Of No Value;

Backlinks from Example.Com Are Considered Spam;

Google Buys Pandemics.”

So you sit down, drink a glass of cold water, and cry.

“By the River Piedra I sat down and wept.”
