If ever you’ve Googled something, you know that thousands, often millions, of results are produced. In the past, you may not have considered what factors figure out the ordering of results, but if you’re reading this now, chances are you’re thinking about enhancing your own site’s searchability. Let us present you to the world of search engine optimization.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the technique intelligent web developers use to help search engines find a website. By incorporating key words and phrases into page content, the site becomes more visible to search engines and is thus ranked higher on lists of search results.
Search engines do not see sites in the same ways that people do.
They cannot recognize content, look at images or watch videos. Instead, they view websites in terms of keywords, links and site structure.
They use innovative computer programs known as spiders, robots or bots to find your sites and index them based on keywords (which are search terms that people type into the search engines).
Spiders use tricky mathematical equations to determine the value of a site and its significance to the search terms, and these equations take into account hundreds of factors. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of making websites visible to the search engines, improving their rankings within those engines, and guaranteeing that site content is useful to both search engines and human visitors.
It involves the use of market research, keywords, links, and manipulation of site content to improve a website’s reputation and its relevance to specific keywords. Careful SEO is crucial to the success of a website.
Links are still the easiest way for search engine spiders to judge the reliability of a webpage. However, the way that search engines view links is changing.
Link Building is a vital part of any SEO campaign.
It includes creating links on other websites that point back to your site, and it is still one of the most crucial things search engines use when indexing and ranking pages. Even if you have the most exciting site design with the best layout, the most relevant keywords and the most careful optimization, you are unlikely to achieve total search engine popularity unless your site is also referenced, or linked to, by other sites.
