Search Engine Optimization: How searchers search By Richard John Jenkins

If you're out of sight on the Web, says Search Engine Optimization specialist Richard John Jenkins, you're out of mind. Braving the wilds of search engine myths and facts, Richard offers essential tips on how to appear at the top of search results in Yahoo!, Google, and other popular search engines. From purchasing placement to optimizing keyword variations, from avoiding "black hat" SEO practices to setting up a search-friendly site, Richard covers it all.

In this clip, host Richard John Jenkins takes another look at how searchers use search engines to search. He shows this by trying to find an SEO firm in his neighborhood. He discusses how most people start searches broad to narrow, and he discusses how SEO's make the mistake of optimizing sites for very broad terms. You don't want to optimize sites for broad terms unless you don't have any competition. He explains it in this clip.
