In our opinion, most search engine optimization (SEO) is bullshit. There are 3,000 computer science PhDs at Google trying to make sure each search relevant, and then there’s you trying to fool them. Who’s going to win? Tricking Google is futile. Instead, you should let Google do what it does best: find great content. So defy all the SEO witchcraft out there and focus on creating, curating, and sharing great content. That is what’s called SMO: social-media optimization.
