Search engine optimization or SEO is an important aspect of an online business which should be given much attention from the very start. The success of a blog or website will greatly depend on one’s effort to be found on the internet.
SEO, in the simplest term, is the process of getting your business, blog/website found on the search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing. It involves proven strategies that can make Google display your blog/website oh their search results when anyone searches for certain keywords or key phrases related to your blog/business.
The ultimate goal of search engine optimization is to land on the number 1 spot of search engine results. Watch this illustration as I show you some keywords that I currently dominate on Google and other search engines.
In the above video, I have demonstrated personal examples of keywords and phrases that I currently dominate. If you are a business owner, can you imagine the benefits and advantages of having SEO knowledge and skills? Can you use it against your competition?
SEO as an Advantage for Business Owners
Nowadays, almost everyone searches the internet first before making a purchase. Online presence of your products and services can absolutely convert to more sales. Web presence could mean more profits.
Having a search engine optimized website or blog could reach a larger audience with lower cost of advertising in the long run.
Are you being found online? Do you have you own business website? If YES, that’s good.
But having a website does not guarantee that you’d be found by your target market. Proper SEO is needed to drive traffic for you to reach your desired conversion. Having a blog which targets relevant keywords to your business will be helpful.

Hi Ronald, thanks for this post! I have a question though, you mentioned here about your keywords that ranked on top of search engines, however, the “Pinoy Affiliate Marketer” doesn’t have any search potential, how this affect the traffic? Does No-Search Potential keywords bring authority when get ranked? Thanks!
