What’s SEO anyway?

When you perform a search in any search engines like Google and Yahoo, you type certain words referred as “keywords”. And after you click the “Search” button or press Enter in your keyboard, search engines in return will give you all the results it was able to find based on the “keywords” that you type earlier. Now let me ask you a question. Which site or link are you going to click? Obviously, the first one listed right? Or at least those on the first page. Human psychology dictates us to choose the first choice presented to us, and when you do a search, you will always click the first link or at least those links in the first page
