Minimalist SEO is way of doing SEO
without needing to know how to do SEO
Don't think of it as a method or process, but more of a movement or a philosophy.
For the longest time, traditional SEO has caused confusion to those that are new to SEO. SEO is constantly changing, and as such the internet is filled out outdated information, strategies that just don’t work, and misguided bloggers who believe they are helping, but are not.
Minimalist SEO was born of a need to see SEO results quickly, with minimal effort and no budget.
It was first put into practice in 2008 and has since grown into a repeatable system that anyone can use to an increase of traffic in Google, without all the technical wizardry required to do traditional SEO.
