Similarities Between SEO and George Bush

In SEO | 2 comments | permalink

I received an e-mail from a reader called Karen who asked me this quesion:

Dean, I have a 6 month old website but am not getting any traffic from Google. What is the single most important method for getting lots of visitors from Google?

I promised to answer all questions on my blog, so this is for you Karen:

Similarities Between SEO and George Bush

Many people say that content is king, but the main reason for this is that quality content attracts links.

So why are links important?

Links are seen by Google as a vote by another site. Unlike the US presidential election Google actually chooses the sites with the most votes as the virtual presidents. So focus on getting lots of links from related quality sites and Google will elect you as virtual president of your industry.
Once you are president you will be in a powerful position, but try not to go stealing virtual oil (spamming), and under no circumstances should you hide any weapons of mass destruction (hidden text) ;-)

    Makes perfect sense…
    I just hope my website does have the GB traits :P

    I would guess that the less links a website has outbound, the better it is if your site is one of them.
    Small question but would it be quicker to create lots more content then it would be to just try linking everywhere?
