About this ebook
What does SEO stand for? What's the difference between on-site SEO and off-site SEO and why does off-site SEO matter?
In this book, we are going to answer all of the aforementioned questions as well as take a closer look at off-site or off-page search engine optimization and how to implement it correctly for online website success. We will discuss off-page SEO methods and strategies such as blogger outreach for link building, the Skyscraper link building technique, broken link building, white-hat link building, scholarship link-building and backlink building for e-commerce websites. We will also discuss and explore popular SEO tools and platforms such as Moz, Buzzstream, Buzzsumo, Ahrefs, and SEMrush.
While off-page SEO may sound like a lot of technical jargon, it is incredibly important if you want people to find your website on search engines and eventually purchase your products and services. Without a good search engine optimization strategy, you practically don't exist on Google as well as other search engines such as Yahoo and Bing.
If you want to learn how to grow your website's online visibility and/or want to learn and practice new off-site SEO methods to grow your online presence and soar in the SERPs, then this book is for you!

Preface
Technology is constantly changing, and different businesses respond to these changes in different ways. Digital marketers are continuously altering their strategies in response to the evolving algorithms of search engines and various platforms. At the same time, new methods are being developed, disrupting the search engine optimization space and propagating the cycle of change. This brings about challenges that can be skillfully turned into opportunities.
Over the past few years, digital marketing methods that businesses and website owners use to market and sell their products and services have grown and developed at an accelerated pace. New SEO methods are being proliferated and I'm sure each year will bring innovative new strategies and methods. What will digital marketing look like in 20 or 30 years?
Why am I writing this?
This e-book is a combination of personal notes taken about off-site search engine optimization and a compilation of blog posts that I’ve written over the past few months about off-page SEO on my blog Oneseo.net/blog. I have combined these as a guide to understanding off-site SEO in the simplest of forms.
Why SEO Matters
Anyone that stumbles into the world of online content is immediately lambasted with the acronym SEO. SEO, SEO, SEO!
What does it stand for? What does it mean? Why does it even matter?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It is the way a website is optimized to allow its content to appear in search engines.
While it may sound like a lot of technical jargon, it is incredibly important if you want people to find your website and avail of your products and services. Without website views, you won’t sell your product. If you are not showing up in search engines, I can guarantee your potential customers will go somewhere else. Still unsure why search engine optimization is crucial to success? Let’s look at four reasons why SEO matters.
Google Search Results Matter
SEO works to make sure your website appears in Google search results – and that it is among the top results. However, it is not an easy task to get your website to rank high in search result pages. Why? Well, Google closely guards its SEO algorithm and changes it often. Therefore, it is important to learn as much as you can (or hire a professional) to help you identify what you need to do to make sure your website appears in the coveted Google searches.
For instance, statistics show that most people do not even go past the first page of a Google search. This means if your website has not been optimized for search engines, there is a very real possibility that your website will not be found – even by those searching for your products and services.
Keyword Searches Matter
An essential part of SEO is finding the right keywords. This means researching the main keywords that are related to your website content. Once you have identified the main keywords people use to search online for your product or service, then work on finding ways to include these keywords within the content of your web pages.
This may mean hiring content writers that specialize in SEO writing and know how to seamlessly embed keywords naturally. These writers also understand optimal keyword density – the number of times a keyword should appear on your web page in comparison to other terms. You want
