SEO leaves a lot of people spinning their wheels because they’re not sure how much work (or money) needs to be put in to see the results they want. That’s understandable. SEO is a mystery to many people.
The formula I like to use when explaining to people how much work they need to put into optimizing their site for search rankings is this:
x + 1
It’s a rock solid equation that will bring search engine success to everyone who follows it.
Put simply, “x” is everything your competitor’s websites are doing for SEO and the “+1″ is taking it just a step further. Simple equation, but there are always people looking for shortcuts around this.
If you’re serious about getting your website ranked higher then you have to get in the mindset that there are no shortcuts. You have to match or beat the value of “x” and then go a little further if you want to see your website climb the search rankings.
The value of “x” is different for everyone. Do you know what that value is for you?

Interesting way of looking at it… I am so into math, that I think when you put it this way, it gets crystal clear what you need to do. Instead of writing a long philosophical post about how to do it, you just write a simple equation that explains it all.
I think I’m going to incorporate this style of comparison into writing on my blog too.
