Question

What's your definition of SEO in your OWN words?  

Answer 1

I don’t know but we should definitely redistribute the rankings

Comments

There should be more sharing of link juice

Should we be making fun of the concept of showing compassion to people less fortunate than ourselves?  

---

@responsory socialism has nothing to do with compassion.

@hotze It's when we have labels for basic human instincts that we learn to hate them. Instead, if we choose to strip the labels and examine the basic humanity, we will all be capable of understanding our common goals - our survival, our dignity and our freedom. Rather than forgetting that in something as huge as the Earth, only diversity can exist, we must choose to accept that our cultures, our dreams, our lives all change every 100 kms. Therefore everyone talks a different language because everyone lives in a different world formed by the diversity in their own experiences. It is absolutely essential that we peel back the barriers we have set against each other and find a common language to speak. And that language can only form if we work together to seek and find solutions for all of us together. That collaboration should come with a sincere intent to improve the lives of others. Not to protect the privileges that we have been fortunate to acquire, maybe through hardwork, but maybe also because of the opportunities we were fortunate to be given that others could not afford or were not available to them.

@maletta As I've mentioned earlier, it's when we use labels instead of looking at the intentions behind those labels, that humanity collectively experiences loss. Capitalism worked till it was hijacked by it's largest beneficiaries using their gains to influence government and obtain undeserved benefits. That's not the fault of capitalism. Similarly, every system can be manipulated to suit the needs of the privileged. The worst part is when those who have hijacked our systems of governance, manipulate us into fighting with each other while they get away with crimes.  

Answer 2

Making sure people who don’t have rankings and have done nothing to get them, get them without asking anything in return, and making it really hard for people who are well educated and well versed and almost impossible to get rankings

Comments

@disregardful An old couple looses their business due to young SEOs. They loose their savings and healthcare, unable to start over again. Asking for government systems to care for them cannot be the same as how you have described it, can it? Would it be ethical to portray compassion for the unfortunate as greed?  

Answer 3

This meme. mmm. on point.  

Answer 4

I'd like a system where everyone has an equal chance of success. I hate fucking Amazon stealing my spots just because they have more money and influence.  

Answer 5

SEO = getting the traffic you need. Not traffic for the sake of traffic.  

Answer 6

SEO's ultimate goal is to get new customers to patronize the business, whatever that looks like for that particular business. SEO 'could' be used for non-commercial content but that's not it's typical purpose. This is accomplished by getting people unfamiliar with the business to see their web pages and/or other appropriate online content as soon as possible after they type their money or research keywords in the search engines. SEO ranks the content as high as possible in the results pages using multiple on and off page SEO methods. SEO can be applied to text content, images, or videos. SEO must also be concerned with verifying that conversions take place from those web pages after people visit. There are several ways to monitor conversions: tools, using a forwarding phone number and/or email address that the SEO has control of, and/or having the business ask new customers upon contact how they found the business and documenting that information. As I have said multiple times in the past it doesn't help SEO at all to get people there if they don't feel comfortable contacting the business.  

Answer 7

The guy behind you is pushing shared SEO, like ad rotation lol

Answer 8

SEO helps you: 1 - show up in search at all 2 - look so enticing when you do show up that people click on your link & 3 - the people who click your link and visit your website buy from you.  

Answer 9

Cut Bernie some slack ffs  

Answer 10

SEO is rankings everything else is SEM. SEO includes on page and off page that both contribute to those rankings. Not sure how else you would define SEO lmao! Splitting hairs i guess?  

Answer 11

Optimizing a business, as a whole, for the internet.  

Answer 12

To me SEO is everything from kw research and potential client behaviour through to generating relevant traffic, delivering them to a site that is optimised for people and search engines ensuring the path from landing to conversion is well lit clear and easy, then upsell and ongoing maximisation of the client. OK so I am a web marketer not an SEO I guess, my number plate says SEO but that is only a small part of what I do but a large part of why initially contact me.  

Answer 13

Getting online exposure. Traffic management.  

Answer 14

Hard work we choose to buy traffic and scale

Answer 15

SEO - What it is: Increasing website visibility in the search engines. Why: to further the cause of your website.  

Answer 16

SEO is a process(es) that you apply to keywords (concepts, brands, etc) so when people search for them, your content will pop up above others folk's content. That's it for me, at the end of the day.  

Answer 17

SEO is sculpting a website to make it as easy as possible for search engines to realize that your page is the best answer to the search query, thus rewarding you with increased visibility.  

Comments

@frail1504 well put ! Very good actually. That’s what google is about these day.  

Answer 18

Its a marketing channel, no different from any other. People just get lost in the noise and technical bullshit

Answer 19

In the simplest way possible. Finding what and how people search, and positioning a website to serve those needs to get free traffic.  

Comments

Col, Free traffic? Positioning isn't free, the outcome shouldn't be!  

---

@blackford8 not sure what you mean? If you do 100% of your own work, it is free traffic. Maybe negligible hosting and domain costs. But aside from that, there is no cpm or cpc in SEO. You can pay someone to go after that free traffic for you. Or you can be paid to go after that free traffic for someone else.  

Answer 20

People are searching for you online, I help them find you.  

Answer 21

Making targets more visible to more of the right people

Answer 22

Answer 26

Answer 27

Answer 28

Search engine optimization. (In my own words. )  

Answer 29

Doing that voodoo that I do so well.  

Answer 30

Love this.  

Answer 31

SEO=good Communication!  

Answer 32

Fooling people into thinking everything that works is your fault and everything that doesn't cannot be controlled.  

Answer 33

What is SEO? Assuming it’s a search engines job to find the best answer to a question. SEO is understanding how the search engine determines what the best answer is and using that knowledge to create best answers for ourselves or our clients. BTW, the best answers are not always search listings these days, so folks saying “rankings” are behind the curve.
