SEO= Search Engine Optimization ; SEO is the process of improving the visibility of a website in a search engine’s "natural," or un-paid (“organic" or "algorithmic"), search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users.
First impressions. Do you accept friend requests from people you don’t know and don’t’ have any biographical information or photo to tell you about this person? Do you follow someone on Twitter simply because they follow you or do you look at them to see if you have interests in common?

They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.
