For example, if your website was focused on golfing then every page of your site theme should cover different topics under the golfing umbrella such as improving one's swing or reviews of the best golf clubs to buy, these items would naturally be available for sale from your website. If you don't know how to develop your own products and services then it should prove easy to find affiliate programs that you can join and become a reseller of these items. SEO is the process of benefitting from this focus by using the content of your site to attract the attention of the search engines.

In order to scientifically make sure that you are running an SEO strategy that will work and eventually(allow you to rise to the top over time) you will need to research keywords. Keyword research is the process of choosing keywords that are high in receiving traffic compared to the competition from other sites already ranking for that keyword.
