5 Key SEO Metrics Explained – Huffington Post

Potential search marketing clients will often call in and start the conversation by saying, “I want my business to rank number one on Google, can you help me?” Ranking number one is the primary focus of every business owner when it comes time to discuss search engine optimization. It is the wrong approach for several reasons, as top rankings alone will not always result in record breaking profits and ROI. There are many other SEO metrics that should be considered along with the rankings that work together to create a profitable SEO campaign.
1. Keyword Rankings
As mentioned above, this is what the majority of business owners concentrate on when they discuss a SEO objective. Everyone wants top rankings, but just getting a website to the top spot for specific keywords doesn’t automatically result in revenue pouring in. Ranking number one for keywords that don’t result in conversions and sales is completely useless. It sounds good on paper, but ranking on top for a keyword that isn’t generating revenue provides zero benefit for the business.
This is why a very well thought out search engine optimization strategy is key. Blindly attempting to rank for keywords is a very expensive mistake. It needs to be developed and executed with predetermined conversion and revenue goals that make it profitable and worth the effort.

Hello!
I’ve been learning web design (not development) for the past 2 years in my spare time as a hobby. I know how to design the graphics, design a layout, put it all into code so that It looks nice and integrate that design into a wordpress theme – should the need arise. However, I want to start building websites as a source of income on the side and I have to admit that i do not know anything about SEO. I would feel like a cheap car sales-man if I didn’t provide at least the very basics of SEO for a customer, so I feel that that is something that I should know how to provide (even if it is very basic). I know how to declare my document as XHTML, which is about it. I know virtually nothing of metadata tags, google localization (or whatever it may be called) or how to get my site listed on search engines period.
If you can direct me to the very basics, or enough to not rip off my clients when it comes to my services, I would be most appreciative.
Thank you for reading my question! And Thank you in advanced for your answers! 🙂
Ive recently started work at a small (commercial cleaning) company, doing graphic design and some marketing.

What is a backlink?
A backlink is simply a hyperlink from a website other than your own pointing to a page on your website. For instance if I have a website named “www.example.org” a backlink from another website would look something like this:
Code:
Example Website
How do backlinks help my google search rankings?
Imagine a backlink as a vote from one website to another. So if “www.helloworld.com” has a backlink to “www.example.org” google and other search engines will see this as though “www.helloworld.com” is voting “www.example.org” as a good website. In simple terms the more backlinks or votes your website has the more popular Google will think you are thus pushing your website up the search results.

I want to make a website with a link that changes a part of my site. For example i would make a button, when you click it it would change the text of some other page.
Extra info: Im a beginner in website making, so if I want to create user accounts, i just have the user click a Secret button which sends them to another link. I also have the option of using java script password. but i rarely use it.
