What is SEO?
SEO, or search engine optimization, is the process of optimizing content to be discovered through a search engine’s organic search results.
Understanding the intricacies of how search engines like Google work is crucial, as you get a clearer picture of how you can optimize your web pages to rank higher and get more organic traffic.
First, we look into the definition of SEO and how SEO on different search engines are all about driving traffic but to different destinations like videos, product pages or web pages.
Then we find out the 3 reasons why marketers all over the world are incorporating SEO into their marketing strategy.
After we’re clear about the what and the why of SEO, we dig deep into the mechanics of how Google works to rank pages.
Sam first explains the process by which Google crawls the web to build up its massive index of information before going into the search algorithms that they use to find the most relevant results in the shortest time possible.
By taking a look at Google’s own claims on how their search algorithm works, we examine the various considerations that they look at when interpreting queries and ranking pages.
Sam breaks down one of the most important things to master as an SEO - the reason behind a searcher's query or search intent. Through a couple of examples in the search engine results pages (SERPs), he then emphasizes the crucial things to look out for to match the searcher's intent.
Other key points covered in this tutorial:
- How Google identifies relevancy though content
- The 3 broad categories that Google uses to identify quality pages (EAT)
- How Google considers usability of web pages
Finally, we look at how Google uses personalized data and how such personalization affects your Google searches.
This video gives a strong foundation of how search engines like Google work and breaks down the basics of SEO.
Having such an understanding is crucial for anyone considering SEO, new to SEO or learning about SEO as it gives you a better idea on how you can optimize your web pages to rank higher and get more organic traffic.

As you said don't put keywords directly in title description and h1 tag. Maximum results doing the same
Hey, I think you got it a bit wrong. You want to have a target keyword in your title and H1 tag, but not stuffing these with keywords.

I hope you will Answer. Thank you Ahrefs and Sam Oh

Hey Sam, I have watched the video but Is it good to write informative content on the same niche for traffic not for affiliate sales
I hope you rely Very Soon. Thank you 🙇
This is a really amazing video, but I am wondering if certain parts should be revisited. Maybe even create a fresher version of this video for 2023.
Thanks for the suggestion, we'll consider it. For now, you may check this fresher video on the topic from our SEO course: ua-cam.com/video/btwC4zmewss/v-deo.html

Great video. I’m working on an animation kickstarter. Do you have a video for getting more views on utube?

Thanks budddy
You're welcome!
If possible can you make video how Google calculate backlinks value. As some of url having 0 backlinks but still on top, weather having backlinks not ranking
Normally, we don't create videos on topics where we can't provide some proof. I don't believe anyone knows how Google calculates backlink value. There are certainly speculations, but not enough for us to say... "this is how."
We have a section on "backlinks that move the needle" in this video. Highly recommend watching it :) ua-cam.com/video/tBjn5TlCZ4c/v-deo.html
@@AhrefsCom Thank you for suggesting, definitely will watch
Nice video Bro
Thank you!
@@AhrefsCom thanks for your valuable feedback
Can you please make video on new webmaster tool interface
Perhaps we'll create a video in the future on Google Search Console. That is what you're referring to, right?
@@AhrefsCom yes. But l want to say thank you for making such good videos about digital marketing. Thanks

Oh "query"!!! I thought you were saying "quarry"! Sorry I dont mean any disrespect 👍 great video
😂
veryyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooooood
Thank you!
I'm confused here, should we have meta description or description unique for every single web page.
In September 2009 Google announced that meta description is no longer a ranking factor. So it influence CTR on SERP only. I prefer keeping a unique description for each page.

AdSense brings more value when you get more traffic. So optimizing your SEO presence will definitely bring you more income. Our UA-cam channel is a good start for your SEO optimization strategy 😉

Will you help to bring my website on 1
Free keywords? Or a free keyword tool? There are plenty of free keyword tools around: ahrefs.com/blog/free-keyword-research-tools/

You just absolutely cannot have a competitive, normal business anymore without having to know and be an expert (or pay experts) in 10 different industries. You have to have web development, but that's not enough. What good is a website if nobody goes to it? Hence SEO. You have to have mobile apps, both for Android and iOS. You have to have legal protection for copyrights and trademarks across a whole slew of possibile legal infractions today. And you absolutely have to be willing to engage in globalization...be it to sell your product or to hire people to do the things you cannot possibly know how to do yourself.
Then you have advertising. You have to engage with social media in a meaningful way and have your ads pop up correctly and at the right time.
You have to have psychologically effective trademarking, logos, and insignias.
Not to mention all the other things a business must do to operate...with constantly changing employee laws, health mandates, yearly-changing tax laws...
What a fucking nightmare. It's enough of a mess that it completely steals the excitement and intrigue of being an entrepreneur. It's information overload and you have to be able to trust other companies and/or employees to do this stuff for you and have your business' success as the utmost important thing to them.
Overwhelming just barely touches the tip of the iceberg in describing the mess of starting a business...
I think "have to have" (e.g. mobile apps) is pushing it. We don't have an app ourselves, and we're doing fine.
And well, starting a business is supposed to be hard. If it wasn't, everyone would be a successful entrepreneur or businessperson. Entrepreneurs are different because even though it's hard, they manage to figure it out.
And while the information available can be overwhelming, I highly doubt there has been an easier time than today when it comes to starting one. You can create a website in a single day and start selling things.

Are You Sick SAMoo! Your pitch is down man:)
Trying out a new mic in a new room :)
Hundreds of trillions is a bit off. Around two billion. Orders of magnitude.
Thanks for stealing money from my bank account!!

Just have to say: modern search engines suck!!!! They just delete a word, I did not write for fun into the search line... What the hell is going on? Also, operators like "" or + are not working anymore. And worst of all, the good ol - does also not work anywhere anymore... What to do about that problem? Generic results are easy to find, but finding something special is basically impossible. Years ago, when the internet was much "smaller", it was actually much simpler to find a very specific entry. Now? Good luck. You will die trying!
