SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO helps your website owners rank your website pages higher in Google search results. SEO is for all search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex and so on. But to be honest, almost everybody uses Google. That’s why we always say “google it”.

SEO gives you a checklist of must-do list to rank in the first page on Google. Google indexing and ranking algorithms are getting better each day. That makes SEO tricks hard and bad for your website. It is better to focus on content and white hat SEO (normal content optimization). No tricks or hacks! just show content in the way that appeals to people and search engines.
