[Steven J. Wilson]

Yes, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is the art of setting up you website in a way that you get the most relevant visitors to our website.

If you are selling something you want visitors who will possibly buy your product instead of a lot of traffic who have absolutely no interest in what you have to offer.

SEO consist of 4 Key elements:
1)Content- Share as much content of your site as possible. Make sure is has a lot of Value! Helpful, informative and detailed information works well.

2) Keyword Research- This is where you find the words or phrases people are actually searching for in the search engines. After you find the most relevant ones that get a good amount of traffic incorporate them into your site in the correct areas.

3) Backlinks- This is where you website link is placed on another website. This shows Search Engines that your site have valuable information that others think is worth sharing.

4) Social Media- Similar to Backlinks the more shares, tweets etc you get also lets SE know that you have valuable info that others are sharing.

I hope this helps!
