I'll never forget the time one of my websites made it to the top 200 of Yahoo.

I had been optimizing the site for a week and a half, and I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I had taken the job because my boss thought I was "good with computers".

I had been typing in my keywords trying to find even the faintest hint of my work, when it showed up like a golden harp on spot 196. I knew that if I could get it to that position, I could get it into the #1 spot.

Less than 2 weeks later, I had not just 1 keyword, but 5 different highly searched phrases in #1 spots on many different search engines.

My company saw a customer increase of 500% within 6 months.

I, of course, got a huge raise... and I learned something very important:

That if a 21-year-old with literally NO REAL computer experience could do that for a company, search engine optimization HAD to be easy.

And it is. I feel strongly that of all the different ways to market a business online, SEO is not only the easiest, but the safest for the business owner. I mean, you can't really get scammed with FREE can you?

Still Afraid? Let's Take a Closer Look...

Optimizing a web site is broken down into 3 steps.

Step 1: Find your keyword. Your keyword is a word or phrase that you as a business owner have chosen to advertise on the search engines with. Advertising under highly searched terms give you more traffic (more on this later).

Step 2: Onsite Optimization. This step gives you the business owner complete control over how you want the search engines to see your website. Do you want to be pretty? Do you want to be Big & Strong? You get to decide!

Step 3: Offsite Optimization. My favorite part of SEO. This is where you get to use the Internet to meet great people from all over the world, and trade information with them. You'll meet business owners, hobbyists, professors, I've even met a few actors!

Is That It? Sounds More Like Goofing Off!

I told you. It's extremely simple. You just have to NOT be afraid, and be willing to learn! Sure, there's some clockwork that goes into this behind the scenes, but those 3 steps are the only work you have to do!

Once I realized that formula, I began to optimize page after page. Then, the company I worked for added those services to their customer package. I began to optimize all KINDS of websites for all sorts of people!
