Of Course, you know that SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. But what will be optimized?
Is it design, content, or links?
Yes, it will be everything that can affect your SERP ranking and there’re almost 200 factors that need to be optimized.
Definition:
According to Wikipedia, SEO is “the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's unpaid results”
Let’s translate it into simple English.
SEO is the optimization of your content for a specific keyword so that when a user puts that keyword in Google search query box your content will be shown on top.
So if you're gonna publish an article you would like that it will be shown on the first page of google for that particular keyword and to attain this you have to follow the guidelines related to SEO. And fix all those factors which can affect your ranking.

But first I need to get one thing straight. There are two types of SEO Black Hat & White Hat and you need to choose yours.
Let's dig deeper into these two terms.
White Hat Vs Black Hat SEO:
If you wanna get quick ranking then most probably you will end up with a black hat SEO technique. In this method, people mostly put the focus on making content for dodging the search engine algorithms, not for users. They always try to find new ways to beat the search engine updates. Which will cause creating creepy pages and a severe penalty from a search engine or even it can ban you permanently.
On the other hand, if you go with White Hat SEO then you will put more focus on your audiences and try to create user-friendly content along with the search engine guidelines. Which will provide high value to users and ultimately help in achieving a better ranking position in the long run.
Inbound marketing does a great job of explaining the difference between black hat and white hat SEO.
