2. Search Engine
Optimization
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is the
process of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your
website through organic search engine results.It also involes
increasing your website ranking in different search engines .
3. Introduction to Search Engines
• Best Search Engines in The World
1. Google
2. Bing
3. Yahoo
4. Yandex
4. Search Engine Optimization has been the lifeblood of being
found through search engine searches for well over a decade and
it will continue to be important for years to come. The “dead”
part of SEO is attempting to manipulate the signals that search
engines use for ranking sites. In recent years, Google and other
search engines have caught on to these manipulated signals and
worked to minimize the effect of the manipulation and/or
penalize those sites that have used those practices, especially in
excess.
5. Relevant, Useful and Important
In its true form, however, SEO is making sure that your website is following specific, best
practices so that Google and other search engines can see and rank your website. Put another
way, SEO is creating or improving your website — sometimes in ways that aren’t visible — so
that the search engines recognize it as being relevant, useful, and important in regards to the
question asked by a searcher.
When a search engine thinks that your site is relevant, useful, and important to a search query, it
should rank well in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Unfortunately, SEO is not a “one
and done” process. It can be a relatively slow process at the outset and requires consistent effort
to maintain. Search engines are constantly evolving, and your SEO strategy has to be able to
evolve with them. The power of a good SEO campaign is unbeatable, but it is a very
competitive and fast paced environment.
6. Utilize Relevant Titles and Meta Descriptions Your titles and meta descriptions are very important pieces of
information because they show up in the search engine results. A page’s title is the heading that shows up in the
search results and it is also the name that appears on the tab or window when you are on the page in a web browser.
A meta description, on the other hand, is the information that shows up below the title in search results. These two
short pieces of information are generally the first impression you get to make on a potential website visitor, so make
them count.
Example: Page: Netmark’s Homepage (http://www.netmark.com/)
Title: Netmark - Digital Marketing Agency
Meta Description: Netmark is a premiere digital marketing agency specializing in paid advertising, social media
management, and website SEO.
