For my students I am writing an article on search engine optimazation (SEO) to help them understand how Google and other search engines read a web page, and how they can create pages that have better chances of getting ranked higher in search engines. I don’t claim to be an expert on SEO but I have read a number of articles I’ve found online. I decided that for this article I would use only sources from pages appearing in the top of google. I figure if the they can get to the top of google on the topic of SEO they must be credible. Imagine that I found an article from google in the fourth position after two from wikipedia and one from another site but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for altought they’re probably pretty good to be at the top.
Here is the link to the google article
