Search Engines spiders are software designed to read content on websites pages and then tirelessly continue their journey by following links from one page to another.

By “Spoon Feeding” Search Engines relative content.



But Why do you have to “Spoon Feed” search engines relative content?

Because Search Engines aren’t sophisticated as you may think, It isn’t that they are dumb. But they are like little children who need information to be presented to them in a way they understand.


For Example, you can write an article about Zamalek football club in Egypt and you may use smart metaphors. Any intelligent reader will understand your article is talking about Zamalek Football club, not the classy neighborhood named Zamalek also!

As an Seo specialist in Egypt, I must maintain balance between writing engaging content for people and “Spoon Feeding” search engines at the same instance.
