A Comprehensive Guide to Technical SEO | Banyanbrain
What makes SEO good or bad?
1. W H A T M A K E S S E O
THE EXPERTS WEIGH IN:
goodOR
bad?
2. SEO has been divided for a
long time into many warring
halves such as...
1. On-page vs. off-page SEO
2. In-house vs. agency SEO
3. Black hat vs. White Hat SEO
4. Technical vs. non-technical SEO
5. Local vs. national SEO
6. Bing vs. Google SEO
IT’S A MIRACLE THAT

STILL STANDING!
Talk about a house divided against itself...
3. But the most important
dualism in SEO -- the biggest
definitional split with the
most impact on people
actually doing (or paying for)
SEO -- is "Good SEO" vs.
"Bad SEO" --
IN OTHER WORDS,
SEO THAT HELPS
YOU VS. SEO THAT
HURTS YOU.
