SEO Intro
What is SEO and Why?
What is SEO?
 Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the active
  practice of optimizing a web site by improving
  internal and external aspects in order to increase the
  traffic the site receives from search engines. –

WHY SEO?
 The majority of clicks from search engines are from
  natural search!
The Keyword Competitive Landscape
   Search Engine Optimization is not linear
   Like Paid Search the Keyword/ Key Phrase that your
    competing for is an important factor.
   Each keyword will require its own strategy and level of
    effort.
            Sri Nagubandi has little competition
              and should be easy to rank for.
