SEO -- The Tortoise or the Hare
Search Engine Optimization is one way in which you can
get your website in front of the search engines. But what
  do you need to do in the Search Engine Optimization
process? And is it worth it? I will give a quick overview of
some of the factors involved and I'll let you determine for
                  yourself if it is worth it.
KEYWORDS
First and foremost, search engines look for keywords and
keyword phases in which to index your webpages. So you
  must prepare each page for the search engines. Thus,
when you are writing copy for your website, keep four or
    five keywords that you want to emphasize for that
      webpage -- then weave the words into the copy.
However, don't blatantly use the keywords over and over
  again -- or as they say -- use keyword stuffing -- or the
 search engines will penalize you for it. And, needless to
say, your readers will click away, if the flow of the copy is
      so obviously stuffed with your keywords that it
 jeopardizes the quality of the copy. Quality of copy first,
                     keywords second.
META-TAGS
There are several meta-tags that the search engines look
            at. The two most important are:
1. Title
2. Description
Both the Title and the Description Tags should have your
most relevant keywords. Now, the keywords meta-tags is
  not used by Google, but the other search engines may
utilize them. Are they important? It really depends who
 you are talking too. Some say, by putting the keywords
 into your webpage you are giving your competitors the
edge. Others, feel that if your competitors want to know
what keywords you are using they will find a way. (I'm of
                   the latter's thinking.)
LINKING
Linking is another important factor in Search Engine
Optimization. Without proper linking -- or establishing a
linking campaign -- your great site may not be found by
  the search engines. You need to find ways in which to
    allow human visitors, beside yourself, to find you.
INBOUND LINKS
Inbound links -- links pointing to your website is very good
   for search engine rankings, and gives more ways for
           human visitors to find your website.
How do you get inbound links? Write articles and place
them on article directories for ezine publishers, newsletter
            publishers, or bloggers to pick up.
Blogs is another way in which you can get one-way links to
   your site. Again, that same article you wrote for the
    article directories can be put in your blog and then
submitted to a Blog Directory. Just do a search on Goggle
 for "Blog Directory" and you should find enough to keep
                          you busy.
OUTBOUND LINKS
An outbound link is a url that you have on your site that
points to another website. An outbound link on your site
means that you feel the link has quality content for your
 readers -- and you are redirecting them to it from your
                           site.
So, what does outbound linking offer you? You can see
what an outbound link can do for another website, right?
Well, by carefully linking to other sites-- relevant sites --
          you can increase your own relevancy.
So be careful who you link too -- because outbound links
  figures into the entire ranking algorithm process -- or
               restated -- your page ranking.
To conclude, this overview is just the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to SEO. It's not an easy task, and it is time-
 comsuming. Will you see a quick return moneywise. No,
 but SEO will eventually give you the money you seek, as
well as, offer you longevity. And isn't that what you want-
    -longevity? I know I sure do. I would rather be the
tortoise, and not the hare -- and slowly, but methodically
 move in the direction of my dream of a home career. If
  you take the wrong shortcuts, you can lose your dream
  and your home career. So, is SEO worth it? I think so.
                      How about you.
