Now that your mind has been bored stupid reading the same old thing, we have written this piece to wake you up again with some interesting facts.
When did SEO begin? Website content providers and webmasters started to optimise websites back in the early 1990s, at the same time as the first search engines started to emerge.
At first it was not as complex a process as it is today and all that was need was for the webmasters to submit the address of the page, now known as the URL, to numerous engines which would 'crawl' the page and extract links to other pages from it.
Site owners then began to realise the value of ranking high in search engines.
The phrase 'search engine optimisation' was first coined in roughly 1997.
Have you heard of black hat SEO? SEO techniques are divided into two different white hat and black hat.
White hat methods are those which search engines do not mind and that your SEO company should be doing when they take over your site.
These are things such as keyword density, relevant link building and amending title tags etc.
Black hat SEO, on the other hand, are methods the engines do not like and try to reduce the affects of, often known as spamdexing.
