In the early years of search, businesses tried to understand how they could gain access to the top pages of Google, Bing, and Ask Jeeves. With much trial and error the solution was to format the content with certain key words that the search bots understood as high search words and relevant to customers desires and “BAM” the search engine optimization or SEO business was born (it’s a bit more involved than that, but this is supposed to be easy reading).
