How To: Search Engine Optimization – SEO

What exactly is Search Engine Optimization, also known as SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your websites content with the purpose of achieving higher rank within the search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo with an overall goal of providing higher quality, more relevant content to users who are searching.

The biggest and most obvious problem with webmasters around the world is that they focus their search engine optimization efforts simply to out-rank others, and to maintain a strong position within the search engines.

What is so wrong about this you ask?

Well, nothing. However during the process of obtaining a higher rank in the search engines, a number of webmasters will go to extreme heights to keyword spam their websites and content to a point where it is solely written for search engine spiders/crawlers and not for users who are actually readying the information.
