Well, as many people have already stated, the August 2012 Google PageRank Update has finished. If you couldn't already tell by all of the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth on the forums here!

I see all kinds of posts on SEO, and how to get to the first page of Google. These are all great, and I agree that we need to know how to do this. But what I don't understand is WHY?

Why are you optimizing for Google? There are literally thousands of ways to learn how...

We all want to be on that #1 position on the search engines. It would be a great feeling to knock that old "pro" off the top spot and claim it for ourselves wouldn't it?

But how do we go about doing that? Well, there is actually a lot of things that you can do to gain that first position on the search engines. One thing that you have to realize is that other people are doing the same things you are so its a constant battle to rank up.

What is the best SEO?...
