SEO Checklist - Summary

In reference to the major historical Google algorithm updates.....

PENGUIN

The so-called "Penguin" update to the Google search engine algorithm targeted website with weak backlinks.

PANDA

The later Google Panda update targeted spammy websites and severely punished websites with weak or duplicated content.

PIGEON

The more recent Pigeon update actually awarded websites with more geographical relevance to searches.

As mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, the search engines are becoming smarter and smarter and actually improving the Internet in a way to help searchers find quality content.

Gone are the days of a two-page spammy website outranking decent well-built websites because of a few backlinks.

Smart content management, ease of navigation and honest hard-working webmasters are now being truly rewarded with the targeted website traffic they are seeking.

Finally, as I also mentioned, SEO - on-page and off-page is a learning curve. It will take time, practice, testing and tweaking. As you learned here in Wealthy Affiliate about Wordpress and building your initial professional business website, take it in steps .... don't get overwhelmed..... it WILL come.

Again, my aim here is to simply teach and I hope you gained a few nuggets of information that you didn't already know. Knowledge IS power! And, developing your knowledge about websites and SEO is what will set you apart from your competitors and eventually be reflected within your sales revenues!!

Cheers my friends!
