The Magic of The Google Rubiks Cube
When I first saw someone solve a Rubik’s cube, it looked like magic. A bewildering flash of turning corners, spinning layers and yet flashes of some type of pattern to how it was done… I felt the same level of intimidation when I started working on websites and was being told how you get a website to rank in the search engines.
With the Rubiks cube I found myself picking it up again and again despite the fact that again and again I’d find myself stuck, or undoing all of my hard work!
In a similar way I’d begun my journey to learn Search Engine Optimization, and I’d find myself making misteps, get frustrated with how things came out and be on the border of giving up… but still sticking to it.
De-Mystifying The Process
As anyone who does slight-of-hand tricks will tell you, the first hundred times you attempt your trick it will be bumbling, slow and awkward. The same is true of learning and implementing SEO tactics online. However, now I can solve a Rubiks cube in just a couple of minutes, no matter how mixed up it is… I think that looking at how you approach a Rubiks cube is very helpful as you approach Internet Marketing. These are the basic steps you’ll need to take and the posts I will be making over the next few weeks:
- Understand The Basic Moves
- Learn the Algorithm
- Solve Layer By Layer
- Go Backwards To Go Forward
- Deal With Missteps
- Go Past Your First Win
