In college, it is important for marketing, business, entrepreneurship, and computer studies. In future careers students will need to understand how SEO impacts their ventures and use the skills they sharpened through blogs, projects, and website building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Students are already using google to search and things probably every day. Students use google for homework assignments, information, sources, and just everyday searches. Search engines like google work hard to show people the most helpful results. It is the search engine\u2019s goal to provide the best answer the fastest and most conveniently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Search Engine Optimization is when we use those algorithms to our advantage. When you build your site to fit specific keywords your page is much more likely to be placed higher in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Keywords are a vital part of SEO; students use keywords every time they search online. Think of \u201cnear me\u201d, \u201ccheap\u201d, or \u201ceasy to understand\u201d as examples of key phrases students might use in their searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clear and specific keywords and phrases helps the algorithms find your page and link it to your target audience. And as a consumer key words and phrases are also important to find specifically what you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SEO does not need to be complicated. Often using clear and simple key phrases is the most effective. Search engines normally prefer content that answers questions directly and effectively. Organized information and paragraphs help both readers and search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Search engine optimization is an important skill for students to have and a strong understanding of it can reap many benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search engine optimization is the process of improving a website so it can appear higher in search engine results when people search for information online. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is very important for students to learn about and understand search engine optimization.
