SEO: a Process NOT a Project

Organic search engine optimization is not a one time project, it’s a process. Similar to a garden, you must tend to it. Sometimes you have an existing garden where the weeds have grown over or nothing is growing. Sometimes you just have a section of yard you are going to rope off, till, then plant stuff in. Like a garden, organic search engine optimization takes time and attention. It may be as simple as setting a timer to water or as complex as starting from scratch.

Organic SEO is like a garden if you don’t water it, it dies.

Very true. That’s one misconception others don’t seem to get the truth about yet. I usually have clientes that tend to believe they can see results in days and they always insists that one person can do much like a group can. As you said it. it is a process, and the truth is it is a never ending one. That’s unless you want to rank on top for just a moment.

Short post, deep meaning. You really can say something. Actually this is happening to me. I`m working on a new blog, trying to learn about SEO. I`ve tried to maximized a keyword in each of my post, using 9 different tag, and the next day, i was very annoyed cause non of my posts appear in first 10 page. So I guess, it`s really a process, not a project. Thank you.

<!--StartFragment--> <!--StartFragment--> Great Article.  Another good attribute would be Seasonality.  What to plant and when.  Keywords are just as seasonal.   How does my clients services/products relate to the time of year.  New Years, Black Friday, Oscars, Spring Break etc.  If carefully thought out, the good SEO’er can capitalize on topical keywords for a great price and an even greater impact.  Just my two cents... <!--EndFragment-->   <!--EndFragment-->

Yes. It is hardly possible to an SEO project by project roadmap to scale.

Awesome points. People need to see SEO in a less "overnight" way.
