SEO is a Process, Not an Event

July 30th, 2008

The most underrated aspect of SEO is not some complex algorithm or secret keyword combination.В  Instead, the concept that most clients fail to grasp is the importance of patience with the process.В  Chris Boggs underscores that importance in his recent article.В  He recommends that SEO commitments be a minimum of three years, especially for a complex website.В 

В 

The importance of consistent SEO can be analogized to a good weight loss program.В  There are many quick-fix diets, drugs, and gimmicks that ultimately offer nothing more than a brief solution to the larger problem.В  Similarly, a short-term SEO campaign might yield some quick results.В  However, if the SEO process is not continuous, search engine rankings can deteriorate or barely develop in the first place.В  Again, Boggs explains the details, but the takeaway is that your SEO expectations must be realistic.В 

В 

In sum, there is no easy way to achieve dominant search engine rankings.В  It takes continued efforts such as link building over a substantial period of timeВ to earn the most desirable search engine rankings.
