SEO - Is it Black Magic or Just Hard Work?

Which is it ? Black Magic or hard work? It's up to you to decide but
from experience I can guarantee you that you will not see a #1 ranking
on Google or any other search engine without at least a little work,
often a lot. It is not likely that you can do it on your own without
a little help from someone who has been around for a while or a good
software program or both.

I believe MSN is the key engine to optimize for if you are looking for
savvy customers who already know what they want and are not willing to
accept a bunch of silly nonsense on your website. They are prepped and
ready to buy. You just have to help them find your site.

Then the other side of the coin is the folks that say SEO is not
important that if you have good quality content you will rank high
anyhow...sounds a little like LSI.

You decide for yourself. You'll find some really helpful hints at

I did it on my own, but it did take an effort indeed ("algebra").

I tend to think of MSN customers as bot infested suckers without money.

High quality content is, more or less, a must.

Traffic from Yahoo and MSN is about 25-30% of my search engine
visits. The rest comes from google.

Nice to see the Old Religions making a comeback!

Good Luck with Live Search, as they now prefer to called.

First things first - but not necessarily in that order.

Magic *is* hard work.
