By Carol Farbe | January 10, 2012
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is how people find you on the internet. When someone is reaching on the internet, they will type in certain keywords in a search bar like Google or Yahoo or Bing. Those keywords will lead them to your site IF you used those exact keywords when you posted to your blog. For example, if you type in stress relief, you see there are 46 million results for that exact keyword. If I type in ‘stress relief holidays’ it finds 3.3 million sites. If you describe it even more, ‘stress relief Christmas holidays 2012’ you would see 1.6 million results.
