With all the recent news stories in the media today about how a few Internet Marketing firms used questionable tactics in promoting their clients website and then the fall out that resulted, has left many people wondering what search engine optimization is all about. So in this video we will dispel some common misconceptions about search engine optimization and show you what SEO is all about. If you are trying to game the search engines, you are also going to be gaming your users.
This tactic may have worked well in the early days of SEO, when someone would figure out part of the algorithm and than use some automated program that would fool the search engines with a doorway page or some code on your website, but the search engines and your users have become wise to these tactics and they will shun you. Today, SEO is about creating a long-‐term business strategy that involves ongoing content development, ongoing link building and making your website the very best it can be for both the visitors and the search engines who are coming to your website.
