What is SEO?
SEO means Search Engine Optimisation, which is a form of Search Marketing / Search Engine Marketing / SEM. This is basically the practice of finetuning websites to draw in lots of useful visitors from search engines like Google and Yahoo.
Google use three categories – crawling, grouping & ranking – to organise their great search engine. Here at SEO Example, we use the same system, but we call it accessibility, association (or relevance), and authority. These are the 3 sides to SEO in a nutshell.

Top Tips for Tactics
Article marketing on external sites
Beyond increasing linkjuice-based authority, article submissions can increase your association with targeted keywords, but such activity can also increase your association with spam, so you may wanna be careful! For example (to be continued)...
Top Resources
This site links to various external sites for further reference. We especially like to link to:
Google, because they're the most popular web search engine (with 90% UK & 90% global market share). Google are also well poised to takeover the PC software industry within a few years.
And we have a soft spot for the W3C, because they're responsible for developing the markup language that the web is coded in. Efficient code is crucial for accessibility, which in turn is crucial for search engine optimisation; because if search engines don't know what you're saying, they can't give you credit for it.
Other major resources we link to include Yahoo, the joint-second-biggest web search engine (alongside Microsoft's Bing). Yahoo provides us with priceless information via their SiteExplorer service.
Then there's Who.is & DomainTools, who provide reliable domain registration reports and further domain anaysis.
And the Wayback Machine, which is useful for looking beyond domain registration dates, to see if a live website existed on a particular date.
“It's all about accessibility, association & authority!”
