SEO for Dummies

When people want information, a huge proportion of them look online. Using a computer or mobile device they will use Google or another 'search engine' to help them find what they need. A search engine searches the web for websites that will help answer queries and list them in their SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
You can search engines for:

• Finding out how to do something

 For example, "how do I add a picture to my blog', 'how to make mortar', and 'how to prune roses'

• General Research

For example, 'what is the structure of omega-3 fatty acids' , 'who wrote Wuthering Heights','what does HD really mean', and 'best plants for a shady area'.  

• Specific Research

For example, 'best omega-3 supplement', 'Samsung TV LE46D580 46" HD ready'
