  1. I'm really not surprised that most of the available sites are not optimized for search engines. SEO seems really tricky to apply at first. A lot of times, people just want to put up their website and blog with the hopes that it gets enough traffic. SEO is one very powerful tool to get your site to rank highly in the search results.
