Recalling my own experience in SEO. It can also be said that it completely spans an industry. I majored in CNC in college, which uses programs to automate machinery. This is completely different from writing programs. I believe that every SEO has his own different experience.
Prelude to grassroots SEO
I first came into contact with SEO when I was responsible for online promotion and business in a factory. At that time, I had no idea what SEO was and it felt so mysterious. Then I bought "Internet Marketing Practical Code" and "SEO Practical Code". I basically couldn't understand it at first, because I didn't see any actual practice, so I still didn't understand.
Grassroots SEO in progress
Formal learning of SEO should be considered as training in a practical camp. There were no computers at that time, so I took YY classes in Internet cafes. And I just happened to catch up with the last few sections, so I don’t really understand the previous ones. So I read the information myself and read some relevant introductions online. If I really didn’t understand something, I asked the tutor. I guess the tutor was very tired at that time. Poor brother Jinhua. Ha ha. Now that I think about the question I asked at that time, I feel that it makes no sense. Then I slowly explored and practiced on my own, and slowly grew. At that time, I was responsible for the promotion and SEO of a gift-giving website. I found a job without knowing anything about SEO (laughing). I used some of the methods I learned to do keyword rankings, mainly sending out links, because the content of the website cannot be moved. It was also suggested to add a text version to adjust the density of keywords and create a fuss. At that time, it took about 20 days to get a main keyword to the third place. The first one was PR, the weight was very high, and my new website was the only one on the homepage. From then on, I started to really understand SEO a little bit. After I achieved some results, I was no longer afraid. It was a small surge in confidence, but the company's traffic did not increase much. It just proved that it could indeed improve the keywords, and then made a batch of keywords that were not too difficult. After the New Year, I asked the company for a salary increase. Because I felt that my ability was not commensurate with my salary, the company refused and I resigned. Because I believed there would be a better job, and I didn’t want to start a business at that time. I felt that my abilities were not mature yet.
After resigning, I interviewed with several companies, including those in factories and companies, and finally chose to work as an SEO engineer in an Internet company. There are three reasons for my choice: One is that the treatment is not bad for me at the moment. The second is that we live relatively close to each other and don’t want to move. Third, different websites can be used for practical purposes. Then I started working as an SEO engineer. It took about a month and I did three stations (my ability is very weak). The 20 or so keywords are generally common words, and the more difficult ones are words with an index of 1,000. I didn’t blog at that time. Gain experience while working in the company. I also taught myself how to build div+CSS, html, wp open source programs, and dedecms open source programs. I am also learning PS now because sometimes I need to use pictures as examples. I have to learn everything, but I became a monk halfway. During this period of doing SEO, I also met some friends, and through communication and learning, I gradually changed my understanding and views on SEO. I didn’t think much about doing SEO before, I just thought it was interesting, so I started doing it. After slowly thinking about it, I felt that I could do many things with this skill, including starting a business and making money.
Now the work is still going on, I have submitted my resignation, and the company is also recruiting people to take over the website. Because the salary in an Internet company is fixed and there is no commission. It’s the same if you do more or less, so I don’t want to dawdle. After you leave, just do it by yourself. You don’t need to make much money when you start, at least you can earn living expenses.
The prospect of grassroots SEO
As for SEO, it will still continue. For the future, I want to start my own business. I know that I can't do SEO for the sake of SEO. This sentence is plagiarism. I forget who it belongs to. After all, there are many things we can do, and going to work is just the starting point. The point is to use seo to achieve greater effects.
