Yet content is king.

DO u know what I mean by “Keyword shows in the URL.”?
Do you know what I mean by Keyword-stuffy?
it sounds stuffy with keywords.
It’s called over optimized, and it’s just as bad as not optimized, even worse cuz u just wasted ur time.
MVP prose. Spent at least 5 to 15 hour on a piece of writing - are high leverage SEO opportunities.
High quality writing, and that which is packed by research, stats, and well cited,
are what makes the stuff of WHITE PAPERS,
that might establish you as a THOUGHT LEADER in tyour field
That’s it for the keyword part.
Now we move onto optimizing LINKS
Do we know what’s meant by
in bound?
out bound?
What does it mean?
Now outbound
Now Inbound
Notie the highlighted text saying ALT TAG?
Now what is the ALT TAG that they’re so...?
While you might see this. all Google sees are a bunch of letters and number digits.
The web crawler when it comes to this page, just soaks up all the strings of text you see here and tries to make sense of it.
ALL IT WANTS TO DO IT MAKE SURE YOUR SITE GOES IN THE RIGHT CUBBYHOLE, AND YOU’RE HELPING GOOGLE DO THAT,
aLL THIS IS MEANT TO DO THAT, SO
GOOGLE WIL LOVE YOU FOR IT.
Good old Google
Notice the words in between weird sounding code. In the end, except for this computer source code, it’s the words in between providing context.
This is why descriptive alt tags are crucial. After all the flashy videos and audios available nowadays on websites, in the end it all comes down to “words words and words”
First there was the “word”, before there ever was Google.
All Google sees on a web page is a bunch of numbers and characters.
The more descriptive, well-written, well-researched, readable content overall, the better.
Videos and flashy camera shots may initially attract readers to your page, but what keeps them coming back in the end is content.
Content is packaged in words. Even images are packaged in words.
So where do we add them, and how?

Ok, lets go through this list ONE MORE TIME and place the ALT TAG in context
and make sure everything’s checked off
and you’re ready to POST
