SEO Basics That You Need To Understand
Understanding SEO basics is vital to ensure that you know how the search engines like Google and Yahoo Search work.
When you know how they work, you'll be able to get your websites, web 2.0 webpages, and all sorts of articles online ranking high on Google.
One of the first things you need to know is that Google ranks websites based on what they scan through whenever they visit a site.
So, if they see a website that has the word "get rid of pimples today" all over the site, Google will basically try to put that website on the search engines for that specific keyword.
This is to ensure that those who want help or information in this area will see your article, as Google only wants to help people find what they really need.
Of course, even if your site says all of the keywords over and over again, if there aren't any backlinks generated for the site, you won't see the site climbing up the rankings. This is called off-page optimization.
You need to make sure that you have other websites linking back to your site. Google only wants to rank high quality, author
How do you get your site to be popular and authority level in Google's eye? By having other sites linking back to yours.
This can be done by leaving your URL on other blog networks, leaving your URL on Yahoo Answers, writing articles online and putting your URL at the bottom, along with many other kinds of ways.
Your netting friend,
Tim.

Thanks Tim. I guess back links are something Google likes to see on your site. So I guess I need to get a few on mine. Thanks for the blog. We always need to hear some things even if we don't want to hear them. Ha-ha. Thanks again.
Great information Ben. thanks for the heads up about how Google and Yahoo Searches websites, this is something I did not know but often even before coming to WA wondered about. Thanks again!
Ben has an excellent point...'keyword stuffing' is a BIG no-no to Google.....use variations of your keyword, long-tail keywords, etc.....no matter what you do make sure use of those keywords fit in nicely within well-written content!

You need to be sure that any link you post to Yahoo Answers is particularly relevant to the question being asked.
YA is very intolerant of people posting links that don't address the specific question being asked. They can (and do) shut down YA accounts for anything that they consider spamming.
Thanks for the clarification Bob.
