HISTORY OF SEO
In 1995, optimization was
born in the young stages of
Yahoo.
In 1996, comprehension for things like
keyword density and seasoning began to take
hold. Around 1997, Yahoo became the
Paramount submission site

HISTORY OF SEO
Between 2000 and 2001 –Google’s
PageRank system came into the scene and
new ranking algorithms cut out most of the
spam tactics that were extremely successful
in the prior submission sites.

HISTORY OF SEO
Google’s computer
programmers
introduced new
bots that crawled
the internet. These
bots began
scanning sites and
looking for certain
aspects like
keyword density
and relevant
backlinks.

WHERE DO WE START?
![Page 16: A Primer on SEO](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5557a0d6d8b42aa3378b531a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

and at least 500 words in length.

graphics that
help illustrate the target search phrase.

OFF PAGE SEO
Your
Website
![Page 20: A Primer on SEO](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5557a0d6d8b42aa3378b531a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
THE DON’TS IN SEO
1) Cloaking - Designing your Web site so that
search engines see one thing and visitors see
totally different content is called cloaking.
2) Duplicate Content
3) Don’t have robots write content for
your site
4) Add non-related keywords
![Page 21: A Primer on SEO](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5557a0d6d8b42aa3378b531a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE DON’TS IN SEO
5) Link exchanges and bad
neighborhood
6) Hide text - Don't try to hide keywords by
making the background color the same as the
font color. This is called keyword
stuffing or fontmatching.
7) Distribute virus, trojans and other badware
8) Automated inquiries – for web rankings
![Page 22: A Primer on SEO](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042714/5557a0d6d8b42aa3378b531a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THE DON’TS IN SEO
9) Doorway Pages - pages that are optimized
for one key term but are really designed to be
gateways to lead you to different content.
Doorway pages usually have very little in the
way of original content and often cloak or
redirect users to the intended Web site.
10) Title Stacking - Don't try to add extra
<title> tags for more keywords. One title per
page, please.
