So you’ve heard about SEO, and how everyone’s got to have it. Business sites, clients’ sites, your mom’s book club’s site… they all need SEO. You’ve probably even seen countless job annoucements with ‘ SEO expert ‘ listed as one of the requirements of employment. It seems like its the latest web trend, doesnt it? Well, it is. Its actually been around for quite some time, and is important to all web developers and the sites that they build. As a web developer, you want to be able to display your SEO skills by using google alone. Let your work speak for itself! 
Here we will talk about SEO, how to improve your SEO skills, and the magic behind leading your target market to your website.
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which generally means optimizing your website by improving internal and external aspects so that the site has incoming traffic from search engines. Lets face it, if no major search engines like Google or Yahoo can find your site, your only other
options are by word of mouth (ie: your clients, your friends, etc.) Dont leave it up to them! Whether your website provides music, text, videos or sells things, search engines are most likely going to be the primary method of navigating around the worldwide web.
Take a second to think of a website or application that you’ve found truly useful. What about it, in particular, makes it useful to you? Can you login hassle free? Is it something that you use daily? These are questions that designers and programmers need to ask themselves at all stages of development.Â
A new user will decide within the first 15-20 seconds of visiting your website whether it meets their goals or not. Which means that it is vital to the success of your site or app to follow usability rules. Dont turn off your users by making things harder for them to see or find. Besides eye-grabbing logos and beautifully designed navigations, websites need to be easy, functional, and simple to use. Was that your answer to the first question I asked? Possibly.
Have you ever received an email where, towards the bottom of a closing,  it says “Please consider the environment before printing this email” ? Its truly something to think about because, whether you know it or not, hundreds of trees are cut down daily in order to provide our world with paper. Trees just so happen to provide oxygen as well, so cutting them down must be avoided to ensure our future. You might already pay your bills or do your shopping online, but there are a number of ways to go paperless.
So, no matter your occupation, you can do your part to help preserve our environment in the following ways:
1. Email Instead of Fax
Unless the document you are sending needs to be notarized or signed, you most likely can accomplish your task by email. Even if the document needs a signature, it is possible to create a digital signature that you could send back on the document via email. EFax also provides an alternative to actually using paper and scanning it through the fax machine.
