Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving
the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines
via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic")
search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM)
target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on
the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search
results list, the more visitors it will receive from the
search engine.
Search Engine Optimization may target different kinds of search,
including image search, local search, video search and
industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a
website web presence.
As an Internet marketing
strategy,
Search Engine Optimization considers how search engines work and what
people search for. Optimizing a website may involve editing
its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase
its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to
the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site
to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is
another
Search Engine Optimization tactic. |
