People really don’t know what A Day in the Life of an SEO Pro really consists of. Well, I’m here to tell you. This is how it starts:
5:30am Get up and turn on the computer. Grab a cup of joe while it downloads my emails. A SEO business is never closed, even though I checked my email last night at 2:00am, there are still over 30 new ones (not including spam!) – mostly from customers. So I spend the next hour replying to emails and deleting spam.
6:30am With the emails done, I make a start on the real work of the day – linking. I am currently on a linking project for a customers site. The ease is there but I am just ironing out some of the ‘behind the bid’ issues. The key to a good SEO Pro is to have everything ready automatically so that customers don’t have to wait and the site owner doesn’t have to deal with every single transaction that takes place.
Relevance is a central concept in search engine marketing, but you will be hard pressed to find any reasonable definition for it. Most SEO Pros take the term for granted, and the rest of us just nod along. It is not very complicated, but it does involve some very core ideas, so listen closely.
In SEO, relevance is a criteria used by search engines to determine the importance of a target (page, keyword, website) within a niche. Since search engines are primarily concerned with serving user queries, the role of relevance comes up most often during searches. For example, if I search for the term search marketing on Google, the search engine will analyse its index and provide me a list of web pages ranked by how relevant they are to search marketing? in this case the top result is www.overture.com, now known as Yahoo! Search Marketing.

If search engines determine that your website is popular, then they will list it as relevant to a search, the more popular – the more relevant. The more relevant, the higher you will be listed in search results. But how easy is to be popular?
Design to become popular:
The search engines calculate that if other websites containing subject matter in common with your website, have actually linked to your website, then yours is a popular site for that subject. The more links from websites with the same key words as you, the more popular your site is deemed. Plan to get those prized links.
Keywords:
What search words do you want people to find you by? These should include your subject, your products, or services, or information, but could also include location, country, state, town. If you want to be relevant to a search for ‘seo Sacramento’ – you need links from seo websites and from Sacramento websites, but not from competing seo sites in Sacramento.
