I'm they guy who voted for "What the heck is an SEO?"
There's always one. ![]()
Just kidding man, this site explains it really nicely
I guess I better vote for the one that is a direct quote from me. =P
Glad you noticed. ![]()
A lot of SEO practices are really just good website design.
This! I agree with this. That is why I think it is very important to understand this. Good practices in web design is what makes the site stand out and those places usually deserve that spot because they are offering quality and are very popular on the topic they are covering.
But often I see folks getting antsy about SEO for things that have no profit motive whatsoever, like Zelda discussion forums, or personal blogs.
I can of understand trying to be noticed even if not for profit but I agree some people taker it way too far with their stress over it. Which is what moved me to make this rant in the first place.
Well, we don't have that sort of advanced intelligence as of now.
What do you mean? What advanced intelligence?
I have done an SEO course. So, we will have to make a forum SEO friendly to get high search engine ranks.
It is always good to practice what you learn.
Just don't let the stress get to you and take decisions your member base don't like just for the sake of SEO. Having members enjoying and recommending the place is more important, in my opinion.
