As a beginner of SEO, I have been in the world of SEO. I wrote an essay before, "What the SEO industry needs more than a direction, but a mentality." I briefly talked about my views on SEO mentality. I have been reading a lot of articles written by SEO veterans, and I have learned a lot of SEO knowledge from them. I am also grateful to those who silently contribute their valuable SEO insights and experiences to us novice SEOers on the front line.
I think SEO skills are important, but the mentality of being an SEOer is also very important. Especially as a beginner in SEO, the maturity of your mentality will directly guide the improvement of your future skills. Because after just a few months of study and exploration, I discovered that in the world of SEO, there is something that cannot be replaced by strong technology. This is the mentality of SEOers. Maybe everyone knows that you can’t rush SEO, as you won’t see results in a short time. I also know that SEO should be done slowly, but the problem is that if I take my time, I still can’t see the effect after two weeks, three weeks, or a month. If I don’t see the effect within a week, If so, then most people may be relatively calm. If they don’t see the effect in two to four weeks, they may not be able to sit still. My mood will become irritable, and I will keep asking in SEO exchange groups or exchange forum communities: Why is there no effect in ranking? , Why hasn’t it been included yet? Issues such as whether the website has been downgraded. In fact, when you encounter such a problem, it is best for you to say to yourself: Can I calm down first and adjust my mentality to the best one?
I remember that I took over the optimization of a weight-loss website before. At the end of March, the webmaster of a friendly link site asked me one day and said: Your site seems to have been demoted by Baidu, and the inclusion has dropped a lot. I will first Your friendly link is hidden. I will add the friendly link to you when your site is restored. At that time, I said to him: You should just give me your friendship directly, and I will also give you your friendship link. It is better not to cooperate. He also agreed. After we visited Friendly Links, I told him: Ask the webmasters of your Friendly Links sites whether their inclusion has changed and whether their rankings have fluctuated. Baidu has a big update today. You didn't understand the situation clearly and immediately said that my site has been demoted, which made me very depressed. After a while, he asked me and said: I made a mistake. The inclusions of many websites have changed. He asked me if we could cooperate again. I said NO to him firmly. Because I think that after a problem occurs, first of all, my mentality is not corrected. The skills of an SEOer need to be cultivated, but the mentality also needs to be cultivated.
How to cultivate your own mentality, of course, depends on yourself. It depends on actual combat experience. You can slowly learn to adjust your mentality in actual combat, hone your mentality and mind in actual combat, and always tell yourself that you can only face it calmly. Only with a calm mind can we deal with the current problems in the best state, find solutions in the shortest time, and minimize losses.
Among the several websites I have recently taken over, there are four wedding photography websites (but these websites are not technically optimized because they are all titled with place names and keywords. As long as the search engines include them, they can be slightly optimized. These, ranking on the homepage is not a problem, the competition of words is different), three of the sites were already included by Baidu in mid-April, but only one site was still refused to be included, and the supervisor asked me every day. The other three sites have included it, but this one hasn’t been included yet. Aren’t you anxious? I smiled and didn't say anything. In fact, I know it very well. Can Baidu include it immediately? All other new sites have been included in Baidu. Why is this site the only one that is not included? The problem must be with you. Baidu will not have problems. Even if there is a problem with Baidu, you and we are incapable of doing so. hehe. I think it’s almost the end of the month. In addition to problems with the website’s own structure, there must be other reasons why Baidu just doesn’t include it. It’s impossible for Baidu Spider to not discover the customer’s website, but discovery and inclusion are not necessarily the same thing. So I built a one-way link on my blog to point to the client website, and insisted on updating my blog with at least one original article before 3 pm every day. In fact, although my blog has a low weight, Baidu The snapshot is updated every day, so I want to use Baidu Spider to give certain guidance to Baidu Spider when it comes to my blog every day: This is a new site with "value", otherwise there will be no one-way links pointing to each other, and you are still here What are you hesitating about? On May 6, Baidu finally released the inclusion results of the only customer site that was not included. Of course, I also did some other things during this period. I just wanted to use this incident to illustrate that when facing inquiries or even accusations from bosses, customers, and superiors, I need to have a calmer mind. If others don't calm down, we can't help ourselves, because we are SEOers.
SEO plays with technology, and at the same time SEO plays with mentality. I hope that the vast number of SEOers who are still beginners in SEO like me will not neglect to develop their own SEO mentality when working hard to improve their SEO skills.
