  • Step 3: Bring your abdomen in with your head and pelvis down, arching your spine as you exhale.

  17. SEO-оптимизация сайта SEO — это комплекс действий непосредственно на сайте и вне его, необходимых для повышения позиций ресурса в поисковой органической выдаче Google по релевантным запросам, и как результат — его видимости целевой аудитории. Мы разделяем SEO на два этапа — это SEO-оптимизация и SEO-продвижение. Ведь без технически правильной SEO-оптимизации дальнейшее SEO-продвижение невозможно. При качественном SEO-продвижении, ваш сайт будет находиться на первой странице поисковиков, а значит — получать больше трафика и целевых действий от посетителей. Для сравнения, веб-ресурсы, которые не оптимизируют и не продвигают для поисковых систем, зачастую вообще не отображаются в выдаче и соответственно не имеют органических переходов. При формировании поисковой выдачи по запросу используется сложная формула сортировки, учитывающая десятки параметров. Алгоритмы ранжирования регулярно обновляются, дополняются и модернизируются с единой целью — обеспечить максимально релевантные ответы на запросы пользователей. Точный алгоритм построения выдачи результатов не разглашается работниками поисковиков, сообщаются лишь общие требования и критерии заточенного под SEO ресурса, позволяющие попасть в ТОП (первую десятку результатов). При этом каждый новый апдейт Google ужесточает правила для игроков на рынке маркетинга и добавляет работы SEO-специалистам и владельцам бизнесов. Побеждают сильнейшие — те, кто готов адаптироваться и постоянно работать над веб-ресурсом. Но в качестве вознаграждения — постоянный бесплатный органический трафик, повышение позиций и удержание ТОПа. На практике, без активных работ по поисковой оптимизации и продвижению практически невозможно вывести сайт на первую страницу выдачи в высококонкурентных коммерческих тематиках, даже если его контент и техническая реализация будут идеальными.
