Looking at this website that sells Vote T-Shirts, I realized that SEO has a lot to do with voting. In fact, it’s a lot like wearing a vote t-shirt.

The fact is that the search engine algorithms are really based on principles much like voting and elections. An election should declare a winner based on the candidate that gets the most votes. Well, another name for this could be popularity or frequency or even density (using some poetic thinking). Good SEO involves all of this. Put another way, a well SEOed page or site has a lot of votes. Lets look into this a little more.

Starting with popularity, it’s no secret that a part of any good SEO campaign is linking. Internal and inbound linking are important. Generally speaking, the more inbound links you have to your site, the better you will rank in the SERPS. So, if you consider each inbound link something like a vote, you’ll understand part of how Google and the other search engines evaluate your site.

Now, lets talk about super delegates. Yes, the search engines came up with something like that too. Not all links are created equal. You want links from great sites and you want links from sites and pages that are focused on the same keyword that you are targeting. Super delegates are trusted by a party to choose the right candidate because they are recognized as connected and knowledgeable. If your links come from well ranked sites and sites that are relevant to the terms you are targeting, then the links will help your search ranking even more.

Internal links can also be compared to super delegates. The search engines want to know which page on your site is about which term. So, the text in your internal links is important. Here, you can consider your internal links to be much like super delegates. They’re already going to vote for someone in the party – or on your site – the question is simply which page?

Keyword density is simply how often a keyword appears on a page. Density is like polling where 600 people are asked who they will be voting for. a good keyword density for any term on a page will tell the search engines the topic or keyword that the page is about.

Vote T-Shirts tell everyone to vote and if you pick the right color, tell everyone which party you support. You can’t hide from the content on your page (unless you’re trying to cheat). Much like wearing your party’s colors, you have to show the world your content and let them, and the search engines, read it.

So, make sure you’re going to vote. Buy a Vote T-Shirt. Lastly, remember that search engine developers took a lesson or two from the founders of democracy.
