SEO trends

I am quite a fan of Google trends; not only does it get updated regularly, and provides some very useful and interesting data.

I wanted to check on the trend over the years for some of the typical SEO terms.

There weren’t really too many surprises there but here goes:-

Anchor texts

It still is a popular term and holds importance, and in my opinion it will continue to have some level of interest

Content optimization

It is a very important element of SEO, and shows a steady trend

Directory submission

This shows a downward trend, and it is not a surprise.

Internet marketing

Shows a downward trend too!

Keyword optimization

Downward trend!

Keywords

Has gone down over the years but is still important

Link popularity

Not so popular anymore!

(The graphs/ data above have been collected from Google trends)

To be continued….

The internet has been a great source of interest to me. I have been involved with website promotions and SEO since the late 90s. Those days SEO was not as well-known or wasn't really the top priority for most businesses. The whole SEO concept was still at its nascent stage. It is interesting how SEO has evolved over the past decade. My objective of setting up this website is to share my experiences and help your business attain a higher visibility on the internet.
