Title: I see this phrase thrown around like a magic spell from time to time, a la "Put up a site about a profitable niche, do some basic SEO, and bam! presto! Instant $50/month!"<p>But what <i>is</i> "Basic SEO" to you?  Blogging?  Adwords?  Paying dudes via MechTurk to write articles for you?<p>Googling "Basic SEO" brings you a few good articles, but a LOT of "buy our ebook" articles too.  I just feel that if it were so basic, it'd be more common to find.<p>So what do you consider to be "Basic SEO", HN?
