What SEO search techniques don’t you know?

For a long time, MY answer to many novice friends who ask me how to learn is: use search engines. It can be said that the search engine is our self-learning SEO best teacher, not only efficient, and this method to learn is really your own experience, more importantly, it will not charge you any learning fees, you have to pay is the cost of time. In fact, most of the problems in the learning process of beginners can be solved by searching on their own, but many friends spend more time asking others, and may not be able to solve in the end, which is a method problem. Today we are going to talk about what search skills are to master as a website SEO operation, not only can improve self-study efficiency, but also can improve work efficiency.

First, feature keyword combination search

What is characteristic keyword combination search? To put it bluntly, you can think of a combination of targeted keywords to search;

Our normal search is to enter a keyword, or a short word, so sometimes it is difficult to quickly locate their desired results;

Understand the working principle of the search engine friend may know, when we enter the information in the search box, it will own data and index compare the library, and then calculate feedback to the search results page ranking, and calculate the ranking is a very important factor is correlation matching, matching degree is higher, the more likely they are to be displayed;

In this way, we can start by increasing the correlation matching degree, and combine the feature keywords that we think of together, which can quickly help me locate what I want;

For example, once when I was walking, I happened to hear a song playing next to me, which happened to be in the chorus. I fell in love with the melody immediately after listening to it. All I could get was that the song was sung by Yang Zongwei, and I also heard a line of lyrics that I knew nothing else.

But to obtain the two characteristic keywords “Yang Zongwei”, “heaven and earth old”, still can quickly find this song.

Soon we can locate Yang Zongwei’s “Once is Good”; In fact, there are many scenes like this, for example, we are familiar with a certain scene in a certain movie, but can not remember the name of the movie;

Or when we are looking for a specific website, we can use the method of combining multiple characteristic keywords to improve the accuracy of the search.

Use scenario analysis: when we only know a few characteristic keywords and are not clear about the subject itself, we can search through the combination of characteristic keywords (separated by Spaces in the middle).
