Millions of people will search the internet today looking for the things that your website has to offer. Primarily that is done with search engines like Google and Yahoo. For those millions of people to be able to find you on those search engines you need to optimize your website so the search engine bots are able to know what information your website has, or what products you are selling. That is called search engine optimization (SEO). So what is search engine optimization? For that answer I will quote an article from Wikipedia.

"Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine." - Wikipedia.org

"As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines." -Wikipedia.org

So where does ooshie.com fit into this? You could call this website my little experiment. I know more than the average bear about search engine optimization, but I want to learn more. As I go through this learning process I will be documenting it every step of the way right here on ooshie.com. Along with that I will also be writing articles on other things that I learn and images/video's that I create. The reason for that is to create the content this site will need to further explore search engine optimization.
