As a newcomer to SEO, it is necessary to develop some good SEO habits. Developing these good habits can not only speed up your learning, but also make you have a strong desire for knowledge, so as to learn more knowledge. . The author himself walked through this step by step. In just one month, I mastered a lot of SEO skills. Now I will share with you 4 SEO habits that I have summarized. I hope it will be of some help to those who are new to SEO.
1. Why are you opening this website?
This habit is the most valuable of all SEO habits in my opinion. When you use a search engine to enter a website, should you ask yourself, why is this website ranked so high? Why does it not open someone else's website when I search for this keyword?
Of course, just thinking is not enough. After you get the answer you want through the search engine, you have to take this question and carefully study the internal SEO and external SEO of this website, including its website layout and content updates. Speed, content relevance, number of external links, websites where external links are located, homepage keywords, internal page keywords, etc. Of course, it is not necessary to study all of these every time you go to a website. This kind of thing still needs to be looked at. Your own feelings, do you think this website is worth reading, and what parts of this website are worth learning? You need to have your own independent judgment ability.
In addition, if you are not only an SEO person, but also a webmaster, then you can take the opportunity to understand the profit model and user experience of this website. Some websites have done quite well in these aspects and are worth learning from. .
2. Write down all your doubts
I also think this habit is very important. I still remember that when I first learned SEO, I was overwhelmed by all kinds of professional vocabulary and various strange problems I encountered in the process of optimizing my website. However, in just half a year, I Within a month, I have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the basics of SEO, which is entirely due to this good habit.
I think that for a person who has just started to contact and learn SEO, he will be full of interest and doubts. At that time, I was very motivated to learn, but as my study progressed, I had more and more doubts. I often think about some strange questions, such as "What impact do forum replies have on topic collection?". Many questions cannot be answered immediately online, or the answers may be different, so I With this habit, write down the questions that come to mind first so as not to forget them later.
At the beginning, I mentioned people who have been doing SEO for a long time but still only know how to post external links and fake original works. They were also full of interest in SEO at the beginning, but because they did not grasp the time when they were interested, they are now really doing this. If they have a career, they are too lazy to learn SEO knowledge, so they are likely to become an Internet migrant worker. An SEO person who learns with an open mind cannot always do the lowest level things. When he understands the higher-level knowledge in SEO, he will definitely move towards SEO plan planning, training and other more high-end directions. develop.
3. Learn with an open mind and dare to question
When learning SEO knowledge, you must have a humble heart. No one is perfect. You can't know all SEO knowledge, not to mention that SEO is constantly changing. Learn the knowledge you don't know with an open mind. However, when studying, you must maintain a skeptical attitude. No matter who the author of the article is, what he says may not be right. Even if it is right, doubt will make you understand more thoroughly.
In the previous habit, we mentioned writing down the doubts encountered during study. This is what I did at the beginning. After accumulating a certain number of questions, I would go and ask some SEO seniors. For example, I used to Ask some Souwai columnists. In this way, you may be able to make some like-minded friends while learning SEO knowledge. Of course, you can't trust others when asking for their answers. I once met a SEO columnist who was just a fake person. He may really know a little bit, but he won't tell you the truth. His words are 9 points away. You need to judge this kind of person by yourself.
Communication makes people progress, and communication is a very effective way of learning. When everyone communicates with each other about the problems they encounter, many problems that were not thought of or could not be fully understood are often quickly solved.
4. Do your own experiments
This habit is based on your own conditions. The best way to learn SEO is to build a website yourself and be the webmaster. Use experimental methods such as the "control variable method" to find the correct answers to some of the confusions you usually encounter. This method can not only get more accurate answers, but also make you understand more deeply. The most important thing is that your sense of accomplishment will be greatly improved, and it will also be of great help to further development in the future.
Of course, not all questions need to be answered through experiments. Don't do this if you have doubts that exceed your own financial conditions. In economic terms, the opportunity cost of doing so is too high. There are also some experiments that are no longer meaningful and should not be done. For example, Baidu's 2012 Search Engine Optimization Guide states that "website description is not helpful to SEO". There is no need for you to conduct experiments to prove this.
Developing some good habits at the beginning of your study will benefit you a lot in the future. Some good habits will make your SEO road wider and wider.
