According to WiKi, Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of growing the quality and quantity of website traffic by increasing the visibility of a website or a web page to users of a web search engine. SEO refers to the improvement of unpaid results (known as "natural" or "organic" results) and excludes direct traffic and the purchase of paid placement. It also involves promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links for both desktop and mobile device visitors. 

Most people who run websites have a limited understanding of SEO, so you often only need to get the basics right to succeed. In this course you learn how to boost website ranking in search results.
