The CSS Guru’s SEO Primer

From the article:
компютриWhy Should You Learn About SEO?
- SEO isn’t only for online marketers. As a web designer or frontend developer, most on-site SEO is your responsibility.
- If your site is not search engine friendly, you might be losing a lot of traffic that you’re not even aware of. Remember, besides visitors typing in “www.yourwebsite.com” and backlink referrals; search engines are the only way people can find your site.
- There are many benefits of getting a high ranking site. Let’s use ndesign-studio.com for example. I have, on average, about 14,000 visitors a day. About 40 - 45% of that traffic comes from search engines (about 6000+ referrals a day). Imagine, without search engine referrals, I would be losing thousands of visitors everyday. That means, I’m risking losing potential clients too.
- SEO is also a value-added service. As a web designer/developer you can sell your SEO skills as an extended service.
