The Ever-Changing SEO Game and How to Stay Ahead

In the challenging race of getting an online presence, search engine optimization is transcending into a game of adaptation. Today, it’s not a good strategy to simply maneuver one’s way up the SEO ladder; rather it is a game of originality.

In today’s fast-paced world, where search engines are continuously being upgraded to better serve searchers, a business is only qualified to participate given its immense power to adopt and adapt some more. Today, in this article we will discuss the do’s and How-to do’s of facing the SEO game. We will take our naïve selves away from the perspective and commit to better and, if necessary, longer ways of real success.

Let’s start by addressing SEO and its dynamic nature. SEO, like any evolutionary object, changes itself adapting to better ways to benefit people behind keyboards. In order to understand the world of search, we will divide our article into 3 main parts– Content craftsmanship, SEO on the go and the Social world.

1. Content Craftsmanship:

Ever-Changing SEO Game - Content

Content is the core of Internet. With great content comes great success; literally, if you make sweet content for your audience, the results will show themselves. Nothing beats well tailored original content. Even though Google, the mother of search engines, continually changes algorithms, it doesn’t ask you to create a strategy for each and every change.

If you are an e-commerce owner looking for customers, it is the time you start going authentic and top-notch. The process of search engines today starts with:

  • ScanningURLs for keywords
  • Identifying keywords from image and attached media (like tags)
  • And finally, analyzing the whole written quality of content
This means, redundant stuffing of keywords will only lead to rejection from getting top listed. Hence, we take insights from great sites that keep on the first page of Google’s search results. Good sites have great quality content that’s created through hard work and passion. Contents that prefer shortcuts aren’t effective anymore, given how SEOs advanced. Therefore, the mission is to discover what the search engines want and deliver useful information at their disposal. In return, the search engines will love to keep you on top of the results making your exposure boom.

2. SEO on the Go:
