On the SEO Learning Curve

I've just spent the bulk of my morning working on SEO stuff. I think "trying to figure out" SEO stuff is more accurate. At the moment, I'm a bit lost.

I think I'm hitting the wall, as they say, in terms of SEO. I realize now how innocent and ignorant I was coming into WA - I thought it was all about producing good content. That is certainly a huge part, but that's only one part.

I'm not a lazy person - I'm willing to put in my time and work. And I am starting to understand the most basic of terms and processes. But plugins, 404 errors, sitemaps, just to name a few things - those I'm slow to comprehend.

It's all new information that will take time to really get a handle on. I'm just afraid I'm missing some important task or routine that will make or break my site. It's probably good that I'm not getting any traffic right now, so that I can learn all this while things are quiet!

There - thanks for letting me vent a little...

As I say all this, I also need to say that WA is the best place for me to be. Cause I would much rather be aware of all this and be temporarily overwhelmed than to stay blissfully unaware and never really move forward in terms of a business.

So I'll read and reread and try and retry till I get it right. And I give a big THANK YOU to all those who show the way by their example!
