• Definition: An internet-based tool that searches an index of documents for a
particular term, phrase or text specified by the user. Commonly used to refer to large web-
based search engines that search through billions of pages on the internet.
• Different than a Directory
• Common Characteristics:
• Spider, Indexer, Database, Algorithm
• Find matching documents and display them according to relevance
• Frequent updates to documents searched and ranking algorithm
• Strive to produce “better”, more relevant results than competitors
 Spider “crawls” the web to find new documents (web pages, other
documents) typically by following hyperlinks from websites already in
their database
 Search engines indexes the content (text, code) in these documents by
adding it to their databases and then periodically updates this content
 Search engines search their own databases when a user enters in a
search to find related documents (not searching web pages in real-
time)
 Search engines rank the resulting documents using an algorithm
(mathematical formula) by assigning various weights and ranking
factors
 SEO = Search Engine Optimization
◦ Refers to the process of “optimizing” both the on-page
and off-page ranking factors in order to achieve high
search engine rankings for targeted search terms.
◦ Refers to the “industry” that has been created regarding
using keyword searching a means of increasing relevant
traffic to a website
 Reverse engineering, research and experiments gives
SEOs (search engine optimization professionals) a
“pretty good” idea of the major factors and approximate
weight assignments
 The SEO algorithm is constantly changed, tweaked &
updated
 Websites and documents being searched are also
constantly changing
 Varies by Search Engine – some give more weight to on-
page factors, some to link popularity
 Research desirable keywords and search phrases
(WordTracker, Overture, Google AdWords)
 Identify search phrases to target (should be relevant to
business/market, obtainable and profitable)
 “Clean” and optimize a website’s HTML code for
appropriate keyword density, title tag optimization, internal
linking structure, headings and subheadings, etc.
 Help in writing copy to appeal to both search engines and
actual website visitors
 Study competitors (competing websites) and
search engines
 Implement a quality link building campaign
 Add Quality content
 Constant monitoring of rankings for targeted
search terms
 On-Page Factors (Code & Content)
 Title tags <title> #3
 Header tags <h1> #5
 ALT image tags #4
 Content, Content, Content (Body text) <body> #1
 Hyperlink text #6
 Keyword frequency & density #2
 Off-Page Factors
 Link Popularity (“votes” for your site) – adds credibility #2
 Anchor text #1
 View > Source (HTML code)
 PPC ads appear as “sponsored listings”
 Companies bid on price they are willing to pay
“per click”
 Typically have very good tracking tools and
statistics
 Ability to control ad text
 Can set budgets and spending limits
 Google AdWords and Overture are the two
leaders
Pay-Per-Click “Organic” SEO
• results in 1-2 days
• easier for a novice or one little
knowledge of SEO
• ability to turn on and off at any
moment
• generally more costly per visitor and
per conversion
• fewer impressions and exposure
• easier to compete in highly
competitive market space (but it will
cost you)
• Ability to generate exposure on
related sites (AdSense)
• ability to target “local” markets
• better for short-term and high-margin
campaigns
• results take 2 weeks to 4 months
• requires ongoing learning and experience
to achieve results
• very difficult to control flow of traffic
• generally more cost-effective, does not
penalize for more traffic
• SERPs are more popular than sponsored
ads
• very difficult to compete in highly
competitive market space
• ability to generate exposure on related
websites and directories
• more difficult to target local markets
• better for long-term and lower margin
campaigns
 Research keywords related to your business
 Identify competitors, utilize benchmarking techniques and identify
level of competition
 Utilize descriptive title tags for each page
 Ensure that your text is HTML-text and not image text
 Use text links when ever possible
 Use appropriate keywords in your content and internal hyperlinks
(don’t overdo!)
 Obtain inbound links from related websites
 Monitor your search engine rankings and more importantly your
website traffic statistics and sales/leads produced
 Educate yourself about search engine marketing
Search engine Optimization
