Best seo guide for beginners

Hmmn!

actually SEO is HUGE.

The most important word here is optimization.

So, it qualifies the word “Search engine".

It's important to note that optimisation is not

meant for Google alone, it's general for every

seach engine.

Optimization is making your website to abide by

the rules of operation of search engines so that

when a user types a keyword on Google or any

search engine, your content may be ranked and

resulting to your site being listed on SERP

(Search engine result page).

Unfortunately, your content alone will not make

your site appear on the first page.

There are plenty of things it entails, especially

link building, which I think is the most important

thing to do when optimizing your website.

Onpage SEO is when you optimize your content

like adding alt attribute to your images, making

keyword research and using that keyword in your

header and content, including setting key phrase.

Offpage SEO means working on your Domain

authority and Page authority which is an

important metrix used by Search engines to rank

one website higher than another. This include

building backlinks from authority websites on

your niche.

Do some more researches and you'll know better.

Don't expect to understand the concept of SEO

within a week. Or by checking into few sites. If

you can't afford the money to buy some books

on it, then you'll need to learn from tens of sites

or maybe hundreds of sites.

Hope this helps...
