Because there isn't that much to SEO so it's not really worth talking about. Let me know if I'm missing anything. To do SEO:
1. Use semantic markup and SEO best practices
(http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-web-developers-seo-cheat-sheet)
2. Email people and tell them to link to you
Grey hat:
1. Buy paid links without nofollow on forums.digitalpoint.com
(not detected by Google yet, but they'll figure it out eventually because the affordable links are all spam-like webpages
that exist only for the purpose of having pagerank and selling links. For more money, you can get better links from real sites, or you can hire an SEO that knows what he is doing. Ideally you only pay him for the links and you handle all other SEO yourself, because it isn't worth paying for.)
2. Write articles and upload them to free article databases
- babul 18y agoThere are too many SEO cowboys out there trying to make fast money for little/no work, and most people do not understand what good SEO involves. Hence many have bad experiences and the industry as a whole gets a bad name. This is unfair as there are some SEO practitioners, but even from my limited experience they have been few and far between. We have to remember as hackers, startups, or computer/web literate people, we should be doing most of this ourselves, but for most people (SMEs or mom & pop with their website/ecommerce store) this will be foreign to them and hence the market for (good?) SEO practitioners. Whereas bad SEO practice (using link-farms, link-baiting, paid-for directories) will certainly harm your site (Google penalize against sites that do this and there are many cases of sites paying for SEO only to see a early rise followed by a sharp fall later), good SEO at the basic level can significantly help.

Let me know if I am missing something ... 1. Use waterfall model and programming best practises. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model 2. Mix for, while, def and class keywords in appropriate quantities. Advanced programming methods: 1. Build some rectanges and lines called as UMLs. 2. Learn about some libraries and mix them with the for, if, def keywords. Sorry to be so snarky, but what sites have you SEOd for? (Oh and I am a programmer, BTW)
- rms 18y agoSnarky, but not a good comparison, because it is much, much easier to learn SEO than programming. Email me if you want my list of web sites...
