SEARCH ING - Search Engine Searches (queries) its database when a user enters a
KEYWORD and clicks on the Search button.

search engines ALGORITHM.
QUESTION: What is an Algorithm?
4. Algorithm?
A methodical approach used by search engines to determine the importance of a web
page. Of course, the most important page is ranked at the TOP.
An Algorithm takes into account many factors in determining the importance of a web
page. But the two most important factors are:
Algorithm Changes
- Keywords on the page – Keyword Density
In order to provide the best search results,
Google and other Search Engines make
- Back links to the page. regular changes to their Algorithms. These
changes affect ranks of many websites.
Whenever there is a change in the algorithm,
web pages have to be realigned in order to
retain their ranks on search engines.
QUESTION: What is a Keyword Density?
QUESTION: What is a Back Link?
5. Understanding Keywords
Keywords are the most common search words used to find information on any product
or service. It could be a single word or a phrase.
Keyword Density is the number of times a keyword appears on a webpage. It also takes
into account the position of keyword on the page. Typically, a keyword should appear
on all of the following places on a webpage.
Title tags <title>
Meta Tags <meta> Optimizing a web page
Header tags <h1> based on all these factors is
ALT image tags called
Content (Body text) <body> “ON PAGE OPTIMIZATION”
(with HIGH Keyword density)
Hyperlink text
6. Understanding Keyword Competitiveness
We can determine the competitiveness of a keyword based on the number of search
results it produces.
For Keyword “web design”, Google produces 234 million search results.
For Keyword “web design NY” Google produces 120 million search results.
Since 234 million is greater than 120 million, there are more web pages competing for
“web design ” than for “web design NY”.
So, it will take much more effort to optimize a webpage for “web design”.
7. Understanding Back Links
Back links are a sum total of links from other web pages to your webpage. Each Back
Link is like a a VOTE to your web page’s popularity.
Search Engines rank the most popular websites on TOP.
Back Links are a major factor in deciding your rank on search engines.

8. Back Linking Strategy
We often follow a mixed strategy for the Back Linking process. This proves to be helpful
in two ways.
1. It mitigates the risk arising due to Algorithm changes.
2. It is perceived to be a natural “Link Profile” by Search Engines.
