Tip Search engine optimization (SEO; see Chapter 10) is becoming more difficult every day, and the SEO tools that corporations are using are very expensive. Those tools are trying to squeeze out the last bit of SEO for million dollar companies fighting for market share. Despite all the things SEO gurus are saying, the relative importance of SEO compared to other factors is diminishing. This is not where you, as a beginner, need to be. Your SEO needs are handled by Yoast (a free plugin) and Market Samurai (a paid tool covered in this chapter).
Tip The software vendors for the paid tools (as well as the free tools and WordPress itself) have their own training libraries to help you understand the operation and use of all these tools. Training is usually video, and sometimes includes text, examples, and screenshots. Training is usually offered free of charge to purchasers of the product. It is in the vendors’ best interest to help you make the best use of their tools.
