Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization is known as the on-site optimization techniques that help a website gain high search engine rankings.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a process you use to make your website “spider friendly”. A spider is a script that search engines use that “crawl” your website and read everything. Spiders read every bit of text on your website and index it for later use. After the spiders are done reading crawling your website, another part of the search engine places all of your content into it’s algorithm. The algorithm decides where your website should show up in search engine results for any given keyword or keyphrase.
It is important to use ethical seo standards on your website. Search engines are in business to bring search engine users relevant results. If a search engine does not show relevant results, then the user will not want to come back and search on it. Because of this, search engines are in business to know all of the “black hat” tactics that spammers use. They know about hiding black text on black backgrounds of your web page, and they know that your visitors cannot see that text. Therefore, it is a technique to try to manipulate search engines results. As such, search engines will penalize your website for using such a tactic, and your website will either appear much lower in results, or be banned altogether.
When doing seo work, it is important to learn everything you can about it first. Then, forget some of what you have learned, because every seo professional out there thinks they are an expert. A lot of them know a good amount of what they are talking about, but some think they are experts because they have also read everything they can find about seo online. The real experts have gained their knowledge through trial and error. If you are hiring an seo professional, it is important to keep this all in mind.
A common misunderstanding is the difference between search engine marketing and search engine optimization.
The actual optimization will allow a search engine spider to read the content on your website efficiently. An optimized website has a much better chance of gaining top 10 rankings in the major search engines than a website that has not been optimized at all.
Search engine marketing is the offsite factors such as link building, inbound anchor text optimization, alt text on inbound banners, making sure websites linking to you are relevant to your website content, etc.
Search engine marketing is an ongoing process while search engine optimization is usually done initially, then occasionally when there has been an algorithm change in the major search engines.
Search engine optimization includes meta tags, anchor text links in the navigation, anchor text used in outgoing links, w3c coding standards, reducing html code, placing javascript in external js files and linking to them, and the list goes on.
