What is SEO?

I definitely know I can earn money from blogging. I started my ‘ideal’ idea on how I will do this, on what I’m going to buy on my first check from Google, and I even visioned my popularity on the Web. However, I suddenly realized that my sleepless nights on customizing my website isn’t enough. The perfect word is Optimization. And SEO just popped up!

Now, I decided to do a project. What project? Totally knowing about SEO and how am I going to apply it. Join on my journey and soon paradox of success.

Do you know John Chow, Darren Rowse or the 13-year-old blogger Carl Ocab? Anyway, if you’re going to ready their blogs, they keep on talking about SEO, traffic or page rank. What are they talking about anyway?

When you started creating your own blog, there are general purposes in doing so. Perhaps, you just wanna vent out whatever is in your mind or you wanted to kill the boring time you have and blogging is the answer for all of those moments. Or, you really wanted to earn lots of money, with simple ideas and internet. This is really sounds fun! But this is easier said than done. I’m not discouraging each and every one of you. Making money online needs a lot of patience, creativity and SEO.

SEO or the Search Engine Optimization is a method or process of improving and optimizing the ranking of a website in search engine results. There are many free online web tools that webmasters can use to find out more information about their sites. Now, I’m going to introduce them all.

With millions of pages of search results for any given keyword, webmasters would want to have their website appear among the first couple of search result listings. The higher the position or ranking, the greater the likelihood that internet users will visit your site. Example, if you google “Make Money Online”, the first site that will appear is Make Money Online with GatherSuccess. That’s what the SEO will going to do for our own blog.
