Study SEO

Surfing the net, playing online games, doing stuff in your profile in some social networking sites, etc these things usually give you entertainment across the web. But have you ever wondered where in the web can you learn and earn at the same time? There have been a lot of argument before as to how can someone earn at the web, but as the web progresses so as the techniques and ways for end-users to earn. One of which is blogging but there is a new field in the web for freelancers who want to work at their respective homes. Although Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not new at the web, the emergence of it as an internet marketing strategy has caught a lot of attention. The study of SEO began in the mid-1990s, as they were trying to record and map out the early web. If these things have been done before, then why study SEO now when there are other things more interesting? SEO is neither a subject nor a person but it is a way to increase the number of visits for a site and putting it in the first results of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

The beauty of SEO compared to other industries is that the business comes to you and not you coming to them and most of all, it’s coming all over the world. There are two ways for you to generate income in this industry one is being hired by some company who are focusing on SEO and the other one is hiring yourself and put up your own money making blog or site. I will discuss more on putting up your own blog and make money from it. As you study SEO and learn techniques to make your site popular, you earn at the same time. Now that I’ve mentioned being popular, you can’t just be popular without your site being popular to the search engines. And according to some studies, more than 80% of the web traffic are coming from search engines. Now, that’s a good reason for you to study SEO and be popular. Let’s get back to our main topic, search engines aren’t usually manned they are actually automated or programmed which we call web crawlers or spiders. These web crawlers follow an algorithm in which they search through the net using keywords and such. And you can’t just make a site where you don’t follow the things that these web crawlers are looking for; you need guidelines to do this. Here are some basic guidelines for your site to be noticed by these web crawlers:

• Always use of <h1>. Add <h1> tags to some keywords
• Add relevant keywords and page or site description to your meta tag
• Always use the keywords mentioned in your meta tag
• Use SEO friendly URLs like
• http://google.com/about instead of
• http://google.com/index.php?page=1
• If you have a flash content on your website then make a html copy of it
• Make use of tags in images
• You should have a sitemap for your site

These are just some of the many ways you can do to be seen by a web crawler. Continue to study SEO and some of its techniques to earn. And yeah, I almost forgot one of the important things in SEO; submit your site to the search engines, it makes things easier.

Internet marketing depends on the keyword selection you make. People go to the internet like they’re going to a help desk and ask using keywords or phrases. In this manner an industry was born to optimize the results given by these search engines and at the same time people earn with it. Study SEO more and harness its full potential.
