One day, some how, your friend tells you about this cool website, something that they really think you’ll be interested in, so you get this information, either on the phone or face to face, in an email, or something along those lines. why would your friend do that for you? Simply because, they felt after visiting the site that YOU would also benefit from visiting that site, in some way or other, they thought you would like it.

With all the conflicting theories and tactics floating around,sometimes Optimising your Site for the Search Engines may seem more like Brain Surgery, than Simple Marketing Tactics. Let me Introduce you to the idea, that, Concentrating on Feeding Your Hungry Website Visitors is ALL you need to do to win the Search Results you are hoping for.

I really do understand, that sometimes I may come across as a bit extreme in my points of view and take on search engine marketing, but nonetheless please dont allow that to make you think that I dont want my sites to be attractive for the search engines.

I would love to attract a Search Engine spider!

Perhaps it would like me to lure it with some Curds and Way, come and sit down beside me and whisper little secrets in my ear, Like Miss Tuffet. That would be nice.

But seriously though, I do reap the benefits of having a nice offering for the spider when it comes, but do you think I put it there purely to give that little thing something nice for its dinner? Come on now, I really wouldnt mind either way, its not for them, they cant really give me any appreciation, I mean sure, they can report back to HQ, let everyone know theres some great stuff at my site, i’ll get some good listings maybe at there parent engine, now thats nice and I cant deny that, so it is a form of appreciation, but they cant really write me a nice message, say “thanks martin, you left us some nice dinner” can they?

If you read my article Forget about the search engines, then you’ll know where I am coming from, and you can get the drift here anyway.

Personally, I remember when I didnt even Use google, or MSN, or any other search engine for that matter. Yep, hard to beleive it, but there *Was* once a time when there wasnt really an easy way to search every single website round the world in seconds, so we all had to rely on one of a few different ways, which where -

Perhaps, in a magazine, newspaper, or even TV, you have seen a URL and are interested in visiting that website. Obviously at first glance it would seem only people who have big budgets would be able to have a website bought to your attention via offline media, BUT, you forget about that little peice you read in the newspaper the other day, that happened to mention the website of a company related to that article, or that you heard on a radio show someone mention a website they had visited that day, and quite certainly the ONLY reason a website would Warrant a mention on such a Large form of Physical media would be because the Author/DJ/Newscaster feels that the information within the website is of benefit to their reaers/viewers/listeners.

The final way I would have found a site, back In the Day, or without Google, would have been through looking at sites that are Linked off from the places I have visited from the Previous two examples.

So why would a Site want to link to another site? Simply, if the Site we are visiting is a Quality Resource naturally they would want to share other Quality resources from other providers, done with Links.

Overall, what does that have to do with Search Engine Optimization?

Hold on, keep reading, you’ll see sure enough. All those examples of how I may stumble across a site, all have one thing in common, and thats the factor that somewhere along the line, someone thought it was going to be interesting enough to share that websites address with someone else, someone thought that particular website was interesting enough to mention in a newspaper article they where writing. Each Time the website being shared, was a Quality Website that contained Good Quality information, resources or items of interest to a particular person or people, and for no other reason whatsoever was it shared.
