Mousy Scroll Wheel Quick Tips
We all know that scroll wheel on the top of the mouse allows us to scroll up and down on the page. But it can do some other cute little actions too.
Click your mouse scroll wheel and you can auto-scroll up and down the page.
You can use it to zoom in (or out) of a document or webpage. Just hold the CTRL key and scroll the scroll wheel up and down. Neat eh?
Now my favorite... Hold the SHIFT key and scroll up and down.. you can move back and forward in your browser. How cool is that?

Photo by sarah b on Unsplash Let's be clear. When it comes to search engines, keep in mind that SEO is an experiment, there are no rules. The algorithms changes regularly (estimated 400 times a year) and Google doesn’t share specifics on those changes except general guidelines on their site.

This applies to the majority of search engines, so don't feel like you need to cater to each one individually. Most of all, if this is greek to you, consider hiring someone to handle your SEO.
