I just finished reading a blog post entitled “Why SEO is easier than social media marketing by Tamar Weinberg.
One of her key points relates to the ability to gain experience in SEO:
If you’re a brand new student in the school of thought of SEO, after you’ve learned about improving your web presence via search engines, there are countless opportunities to prove to yourself that you know what you’re doing. For you, this means practice and true application of acquired skill. ..When it relates to SEO, you can start right away. And you should. After all, you can’t learn SEO just by reading about it.
She advocates buying a few domain names, setting up sites, and experimenting. If you’re a fan of analogies, you just throw it all against the wall and see what sticks.
With my development background, this is an idea that appeals to me. If someone wants to know how something can be done online, I sit down and hammer away at it, to figure it out. There’s no failure in the frame of learning.
So I’m going to renew my blogging efforts: throw out some posts that are maybe not as polished as what I’ve aspired to in the past. See what sticks: what resonates, what falls flat. Will you help, let me know what works for you?

Andrea, the only problem with throwing things against the wall is trying to work out how long they stick, or the amount that sticks, before it all becomes unstuck
Seriously though, there is nothing wrong with trial and error as long as you have a way of gauging the effects of what you are doing.
