    Reasons to trust Bruce Clay’s SEO Tutorial<\/h2>\n

    Our SEO \u200btutorial follows the proven methodology that thousands of students worldwide have learned in our SEO Training<\/a> courses.<\/p>\n

    This tutorial covers only “white hat” SEO methods.<\/strong> That means everything you learn here adheres to search engine guidelines \u2014 to keep your site out of the penalty box. You need to earn the expertise, authority and trust (E-A-T) that are the basis of Google’s definition of “quality.”<\/p>\n

    Bruce Clay set the standard for ethical web marketing by authoring the “SEO Code of Ethics<\/a>.” This code has been translated into 18 languages. It has been a respected guideline in the ever-changing search marketing industry since 1996.<\/p>\n

    How does a website rank, anyway?<\/h2>\n

    Search engines want to show the “best” results possible. They seek the most relevant, most expert and highest quality webpages that will satisfy the goal of the searcher.<\/p>\n

    To do this, the engines look at hundreds of factors to determine a webpage’s relevance to a search request.<\/p>\n

    Some of these factors are woven into the fabric of the website (on-page elements, server speed, etc.). Others are trust signals based on links from reputable sites and, to some extent, social media engagement (off-page factors).<\/p>\n

    No single webpage, even with the best search engine optimization in the world, can be perfect in all 300+ ranking factors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Further, no one knows precisely <\/em>what the factors include or how they are weighted to determine the search results for a given keyword or query.<\/p>\n

    So what’s a business owner or marketer to do?<\/p>\n

    This SEO tutorial teaches you a “beat the leader” approach to search engine ranking. It offers SEO tips that have worked for our digital marketing clients.<\/strong> To see what Google or Bing thinks is best for any specific attribute, we look at the sites they are currently rewarding \u2014 the top-ranked results. Once you know what structural and content choices worked for the “leaders,” you can do even better by making your pages the “least imperfect”!<\/p>\n

    What is \u200bsearch engine optimization, then?<\/strong> It’s not secrets or tricks. It is ranking methodologies to follow that help a site \u200bwhich offers value to users beat the competition in search results. You must be committed not just to optimizing your domain, but also to making it a quality site that attracts links naturally and is worthy of ranking.<\/p>\n

    SEO is a combination of digital marketing efforts all working together to increase a site’s value to users and visibility in search.<\/strong><\/p>\n
