What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion.

WHY SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION?

Getting your website live is not just enough, people should be able to reach your website by typing your company name or by typing the services/products offered by you. For search engines to display your website in the search results for relevant keywords, i ts foremost important that your website should be submitted to that search engine.

Imagine a situation you got a very nice website designed for USD 20,000 but that is not search engine optimized. You sell over 50,000 electronic products over that online shop but your website does not come up on search results on google.com or bing.com or yahoo.com when people are looking for websites where they can buy those products which are also being offered on your website.

Immediately make sure your website is submitted to all those search engines and meets the requirements of a very well search engine optimized website.

Therefore to keep your advertising costs low i ts highly recommended that your website should be well optimized for search engines.

White Hat SEO vs Black Hat SEO

1. White Hat SEO: includes designing and developing the website primarily for human users, not for search engines and then making that content easily accessible to the spiders instead of manipulating or playing tricks with the exposed search engine ranking algorithms.
2. Black Hat SEO: includes designing and developing the websites primarily for search engines while exploiting the search engine ranking algorithms. For Example:
   • hidden text either by using deceptive colors or by invisible DIV or positioned off the screen
   • keywords stuffing in Title Tag, Descript ion Tag and H1, H2 Tags
   • stuffing keywords within file names
   • cloaking – method employed to show different content to human visitors and search engine spiders
   • l ink farming etc

After going through the fundamentals of SEO, I am sure you have earned a reasonable amount of insight into the concept of Search Engine Optimization.

To make sure your website, no matter how competitive industry you work into, comes on page one of search engines – you have to follow the following steps or hire a professional SEO/Web Design Company company to take care of following imperatives for you.

1. Submit your website on major search engines
2. Select the target keywords/phrases carefully, intelligently & smartly.
   • Most common keywords related to your products/services will always be targeted by almost everyone selling the same services/products as you do.
   • Use keyword suggestion tools like the one offered by google or wordtracker to find less competitive keywords. It makes better business sense to bring in 100 visitors per day by targeting less competitive keywords/phrases than to win only 10 visitors per day by targeting only highly competitive keywords.
3. Make sure your website is highly optimized for the relevant and target keywords
4. Target one set of related keywords/phrases per page
5. Keep on analyzing your website performance for the target keywords/phrases and do the required revisions into the page content if satisfactory results are not achieved or you see that results can be improved.
6. Hire professional SEO company to take care of Link Building, Social Media Bookmarking, Article Submission, and Directory Submission for you.
7. Build child websites to promote the parent websites, be sure that child websites contain unique and relevant content, and are linking to parent website using the relevant keywords in the link text.
8. Give reasons to bloggers to comment about your company offerings/products on blogs, discussion forums, social networking websites and bookmarking websites thereby they are giving you quality back links. I.e. When apple launched ipad – they get more than billion dollar advertisements online via news portals, news channels, bloggers, discussion forums, electronic product experts, mobile device experts etc. If your company can launch offers which are aimed at benefiting customers by giving them some useful product at very reasonable price people like to spread the words on their own by word of mouth (traditional way) and by blogging/sharing with friends online (electronic way).
