Everything we do at Mediavine is with SEO in mind. 

Why?

We got our start as an SEO firm in 2004, and have used our knowledge to grow our own sites that we publish, including The Hollywood Gossip, one of the top celebrity gossip sites on the web. Search engine traffic accounts for a big chunk of our sessions, so we would never want to create any tech that would interfere with that. 

That might seem counterintuitive, especially when search engines have said they don’t love ads because they’re clunky and slow, but that’s even more reason for us to try for coexistence. We even wrote a whole blog post about SEO and ads, and how they can coexist. 

In fact, we have a ton of SEO resources we have shared in blog posts, videos, help docs and more, and we’re adding more all the time. We decided to round them up for easy reference, so you can get to optimizing!
