About this listen
SEO (search engine optimization) has to do with the science or process and, in some cases, the art of ensuring websites are visible on search engines. This audiobook encompasses what search engines do, how they do it, and how it can be used to promote a website or business and transform SEO into a marketing strategy.
In order to be “seen”, one must generate and receive the maximum relevant traffic to one's website, which is why "optimization" is used. This involves so many more processes than anyone can imagine, from the site's structure, the manner and way in which other websites connect to it and the words mentioned in major areas of the site.
SEO doesn't completely involve complex methods dealing with comprehending the anatomy and algorithms of the internet. A large part of it is composed of techniques that are easy to use and understand, which can be used by anyone - average webmasters or internet savants.
Keywords are one of the most significant elements in any search activity. They are a fundamental part of indexing, query, and retrieving information. Researching keywords requires the use of free and paid tools available online. Searching for better keywords is not a one-time task, but rather it is a continuous process, as well as a challenge, since the preferences of users, online environments, what's popular or trending, as well as the manner in which people discuss things continues to change.
We'll take a look at how a website can be made search engine-friendly and get maximum benefits from search engine marketing (SEM) and SEO techniques. This covers what items are loved by search engines and what they easily respond to, how their algorithms work, and ways in which they create rankings.
We'll be considering tools used in keyword research, link building, and analysis tools to enlighten you about the required skills for website analysis and optimization relating to keywords that are most effective in generating traffic, as well as responding quickly to Internet trends.
Though search engines are mostly just Internet navigators, it would be unrealistic to imagine the existence of the internet without them. As a result of the absolute depth and size of the world wide web, this handy information becomes unusable and meaningless without the presence of search engines.
Unless you know how to optimize your site, you will get lost in the hundreds of thousands of search engines pages. This book will guide you on how to best utilize the amazing power of a search engine.

On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Story
On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman”. Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.

Story
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

Story
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible - driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In Prediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried 58 shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.

Run a Google search for “black girls” - what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls”, the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities.

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the 20th century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius.
