Hello, I'm Wuchuan (Velan).
In a previous reflection, I mentioned that SEO was a weak area in my knowledge system, and I decided to address it through a "learn-by-doing, do-by-learning" approach. This series is my record and systematic organization of learning Google SEO systematically and internalizing it as a personal capability.
Here, I will present a structured learning path covering SEO from fundamental theories to core skills, and then to advanced strategies. It is not only my learning notes but also aims to be a clear and reliable "map" for your exploration of the SEO world.
Let's begin by understanding the essence of search engines and progressively build our own SEO system capabilities.
Phase One: Understanding Search Engines (Laying the Theoretical Foundation)
Before we begin optimizing, we must first understand the platform we are optimizing for—the search engine. This phase will reveal the intrinsic workings of search engines, which is the foundation for all subsequent SEO skills.
1. Decoding the Search Engine Core
2. The Three-Step Process of Search Engines: Crawling, Indexing, and Ranking
3. Personalized Search: Why Everyone's Results Differ
Phase Two: Mastering Core SEO Pillars (Learning Essential Skills)
With the theoretical foundation laid, it's time for practical application. This phase will guide you through the three core pillars of SEO: On-Page SEO, Technical SEO, and Link Building, starting with the most crucial—Keyword Research.
1. Cornerstone of SEO Strategy: From Basics to Keyword Research
2. On-Page SEO: Direct Communication with Search Engines
3. Link Building (Off-Page SEO): Establishing Website Authority and Trust
4. Technical SEO: Website Health Check and Optimization
Phase Three: Advanced Strategies and Data Analysis (Practice and Continuous Optimization)
Once core skills are mastered, you need to learn how to use data to drive decisions and handle more complex SEO scenarios to stand out in the competition.
1. Measuring SEO Performance: Website Audits and Analysis
2. Tackling Complex Challenges: Handling Difficult SEO Scenarios
Learning Advice and Conclusion
Congratulations! You have now reviewed the entire SEO system learning framework.
True mastery comes from continuous learning and persistent practice. My advice is:
- Learn in Sequence: Follow the path from Phase One to Phase Three to build a solid foundation.
- Integrate Theory with Practice: As you learn each concept, try to apply it on your own website (e.g.,
CompressImage.dev) or a practice site. Transforming knowledge into action is the key to internalization. - Be Patient: SEO is a long-term process, and results will not be immediate, but perseverance will pay off. Embrace the philosophy of "cultivating lean fields."
