Preface

Seeing results


SEO should always be seen as an ongoing process. If you've just applied the strategies from this chapter to your blog, don't expect to see big improvements in your search engine rankings overnight. The search engine bots crawl the Web relatively infrequently, so it will take time for your SEO work to have a visible impact. It will also take time to build links and tweak your keyword list until it is just right. SEO is not a one-off activity; it's something you should do on a regular basis. Adopt an organized approach and keep records of the SEO work you do and carefully monitor your progress through the rankings. If you put in the effort, you will see results over time.
