Does Search Engine Optimization (SEO) really work?

Well, yes, SEO really work and I think you should have some faith in what you're doing. LOL.

hi, yes seo really works, if done by targetting good keywords.

Is simple terms my friend it depends on the chosen keyword your trying to rank for. The main purpose of SEO is to improve traffic to your business site. No matter your ranking top 10 for the keyword you should make sure the targeting keyword does generate some traffic. For example the term "how to memorize" has a monthly searches of 20000 like wise you should chose a keyword that really is searched for. If proper keyword marketing research is not done properly the purpose of SEO would not work effectively. Suppose you have made some good keyword Marketing Research and your ranking in the top 10 then definitely SEO works and is the number 1 method and source to earn some real traffic to improve your business. Hope it helps

SEO works when it is done on a consistent basis and in concert with all other online/offline marketing mechanisms. I work with my clients to build an online marketing ecosystem that includes SEO. SEO, on its own, is not a strategy or a solution. However; it is an important component to an overall marketing strategy.

Hi Berry, Search engines can bring an enormous amount of traffic to your website. The tough part is, for any given search term, there are thousands or even millions of results, so how do you stand out above the rest? The key is an effective search engine optimization strategy (SEO). By optimizing your website for the search engines used in the world, more viewers that are actively searching for your product or service will arrive on your website. This means more sales!

SEO does work. I have several websites that dominate the search engines due to the seo I have put into them. You can makes changes to your site and numerous other things and watch your rankings climb to the top. There are so many things involved with seo you really have to know what you are doing for it to work. I can't get into the details here becuase it would take too long to explain the basics. It's easy for me because I have studied it for years.

lol YES!!!! SEARCH GOOGLE I AM AN EXPERIENCED WEB PROGRAMMER AND KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS WORKS BUT IT TAKES UP ALOT OF TIME!!

Having worked in Internet Advertising for a very long time, SEO can be beneficial. We can obviously conclude that a website will receive more SEARCH traffic the higher the website is displayed in the search results. However, this isn't to say that your traffic will explode just because you've got the #1 result for some obscure search term. SEO cannot be considered a replacement for search marketing or general advertising, but to say it doesn't work at all would be foolish. I know a few webmasters who actually make a good living on pure SEO traffic, but they aren't running businesses. A good business should never rely on only search traffic.

In reality, and for all intend and purpose, SEOs do NOT work... Why? Because websites owners expect too much from it, and for the wrong reasons. Let's look at it on a BUSINESS point of view (I definitely don't want to consider a blog, a twitter or a facebook!) Think of it: The SE's are WORLDWIDE "yellow pages". So, if the business is NOT international, do you think that being optimised is going to give you more business? Of course not! So, we have TWO kinds of businesses: local and international. International? You MUST be in the top list of SE's. And your site MUST be multilingual (including non-european languages!). If not, you are not international :-) Local? What is the point of your little corner shop selling freshly baked bread in Alaska to be seen by SE's in Australia? The BIGGEST mistake of ALL business owners is to think that SE ranking IS the way forward. It is not. They think that a website is going to give them the edge. It does not. What these people have forgotten is that a website is NOT the "Panacea Universalis" in marketing: it is just th modern equivalent of a business card or a mobile phone number! IF you want your site to be successful, you have to ADVERTISE it. And THIS, is going to cost you 50 folds the cost of yor website. FULL STOP! SEO's? Ok for "pron", dating, games, scams and the like. For the rest? Forget it!
