早在2007年我愉快地与Zac做过一次关于搜索引擎优化（SEO）的访谈。Zac不仅问了很好的问题，他也在这些年来为无数人提供了有益、扎实的建议。所以当Zac请我为他的SEO书写序时，我很高兴地说Yes。

我认为学习SEO对任何从事网上工作的人都是好事。不仅设计师和程序员，CEO和普通用户如果更多了解搜索引擎怎样排名、为什么有的网页比其它的排名更高，都能受益良多。

SEO能以很合理的方式进行，既照顾到用户需求，又创造出有用的、符合搜索引擎质量指南的网站。SEO是个强有力的工具，既帮助网站排名提高，也使网站容易使用。

有的人认为SEO只意味着发垃圾和欺骗性的手段，这是不正确的。SEO可以包括为用户设计一个清晰易用的网站，电脑也可以通过跟踪链接发现新的页面。关注SEO可以发现用户寻找产品或网页时输入的关键词，然后你可以在页面上自然融入这些词。学习SEO使你了解人们需要高质量的信息，并且喜欢有用的服务和资源。学SEO的人也能学习到提高认知度并且为网页带来更多链接的各种网站推广方法。

事实表明，中文网络与英文或德文网络不同。不同国家的网站有不同链接结构，更不要说不同的流行关键词。不同国家也有不同的独立域名和出现在论坛或电子公告板的内容组合。因此，有一本专门为中国市场写的SEO书是很有帮助的。很高兴Zac写了这样一本书。

I enjoyed doing an interview with Zac about search engine optimization (SEO) back in 2007. Not only did Zac ask great questions, but he has provided countless people with helpful, solid advice over the years. So when Zac asked me to write a forward for his book about SEO, I was happy to say yes.

I think learning about SEO can be good for anyone who works with the web. Not only designers and programmers, but also CEOs and regular users can benefit from knowing more about how search engines rank pages, and why some pages rank more highly than others. SEO can be done in a good way that keeps users’ needs in mind and create useful websites in alignment with search engine quality guidelines. So SEO can be a powerful tool that not only helps a website rank higher but also makes a website easier to use.

Some people think that SEO only means spam or deceptive techniques, and that’s not true. SEO can include designing a website or web page to be clear and easy for people and computers to discover new pages by following links. Attention to SEO can suggest phrases that people will type when looking for your products or pages, which you can then include on the page in a natural way. Learning SEO includes learning the lesson that people want to read high-quality information and that they appreciate useful services or resources. Students of SEO also learn ways to promote their site in a number of ways that can raise awareness and result in more links to a web page.

It turns out that the Chinese web is different from the English web or the German web. Different countries have different link structures, not to mention different keyword areas that are more or less popular. Countries also have different mixes between standalone domain names vs. content that appears on forums or bulletin boards. For that reason, it’s helpful to have an SEO book that is written specifically for the Chinese market. I’m glad that Zac has written that book.
