SEO for dummies Flashcards
What is SEO?
SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization.” It’s like making your website easy to read and find for Google’s helpers, so when someone searches for something you know about, your website shows up as an answer.
Why do we need SEO?
We need SEO because it’s like raising your hand in class. If you want the teacher to pick you to answer a question, you raise your hand. SEO is like raising your website’s hand so the internet picks it to show to people who are looking for answers you have on your website.
What is a search engine?
A search engine is a computer helper that looks through lots and lots of websites to find the best answers when you ask it a question. Google is one kind of search engine!
How can you make a website ‘friendly’ for search engines?
You can make a website ‘friendly’ by making sure it has the right words that people are looking for, it’s easy to use, and everything on it is about what people want to know.
What are keywords?
Keywords are special words that tell what your website is about, just like how the title of a story tells you what the story is going to be about.
Why are pictures important on a website for SEO?
Pictures help people understand what your website talks about, and they make it fun to look at. They’re like the pictures in your favorite book!
Can you tell what a website is about by its name?
Yes, a good website name tells you right away what you’ll find on that website, like if a website is called “BestToyCars.com,” you can guess it’s about toy cars!
What does it mean for a website to be ‘fast’?
A ‘fast’ website is one that shows you everything it has really quickly, like how you don’t have to wait for a long time after asking your friend a question.
Why should a website be easy to read?
A website should be easy to read so that when people visit it, they can find what they need fast, just like how you want your toys to be easy to find in your toy box.
What is a ‘link’?
A ‘link’ is like a bridge from one page to another that helps you get around the internet, just like how paths help you get around in a park.
Why do we put links to other pages on a website?
We put links to show people where to find more cool stuff or helpful information, just like how your teacher gives you a book list for more fun reading.
How does being ‘popular’ help a website in SEO?
Being ‘popular’ means a lot of people visit the website or talk about it. It’s like if everyone in school talks about the big game, even your teacher will know about it. The internet works the same way!
