Retrieve
After a page is crawled, the next step is to index its content. The indexed page is stored in a giant
database, from where it can later be retrieved. Essentially, the process of indexing is identifying the
words and expressions that best describe the page and associating the domains to particular group
of search queries/ keywords.

The last step in search engines' activity is retrieving the results. Basically, it is nothing more than
simply displaying them in the browser – i.e. the endless pages of search results that are sorted from
the most relevant to the least relevant sites.

14. Keywords
SEO keywords are the key words and phrases in your web content that make it
possible for people to find your site via search engines. A website that is well
optimized for search engines "speaks the same language" as its potential visitor
base with keywords for SEO that help connect searchers to your site.
Use Long Tail Keywords
Long tail keywords are the longer, more specific keywords that are less common,
individually, but add up to account for the majority of search-driven traffic. Long
tail keywords are the opposite of "head" terms, which are more popular or more
frequently searched on.
Keyword Density
The next step is to make your site keyword-rich and to have good keyword
density for your target keywords. The higher the keyword density, the more
relevant to the search string a page is. The recommended density is 3-7% for the
major 2 or 3 keywords and 1-2% for minor keywords, but avoid Keyword stuffing

17. Page Tags
Page Titles: <title></title>
Keep your page titles short and include the main keyword
phrase for the page. For low competitive phrases a good page
title alone is probably enough to generate a good ranking.
Header Tags: <h1> - <h2>
Create one <h1> tag as your main page headers and then use
<h2> – <h6> tags to present a hierarchy for the rest of the
content, including keywords and phrases in them
Meta Tags: <meta>
• Meta keywords
• Meta descriptions
ALT and others
Search engines have no means to index images, sounds,
flash movies, javascript. Instead, they rely on meaningful
textual description using ALT tag and based on it they can
index these files.

18. Links
Website Navigation
A crawlable link structure - one that lets their spiders browse the pathways of
a website - is vital in order to find all of the pages on a website. For eg.
Breadcrumb Navigation
Internal Linking
Link pointing from one page to other page within the same domain, increases
Pagerank and reduces bounce rate
Dynamic URLs
Database-driven sites are great but it will be much better if you serve your
pages to the search engines and users in a format they can easily handle
Canonical URL
Canonical URLs are a fancy way of saying multiple URLs can lead to the
same page. You can add the code to your .htaccess file to correct the
canonical issue between www and non www versions of your domain.
No Follow links
Instruct search engine that hyperlink should not influence the target's
ranking in the search engine's index

19. Authority-Relevance
Backlinks
Backlinks are links that are directed towards your website. Also knows as
Inbound links. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or
importance of that website.
Backlinks are important for SEO because some search engines like Google, give
more credit to websites that have a large number of quality backlinks, and
consider those websites more relevant than others in their results pages for a
search query.

low quality or duplicate content, and to remove them from the
upper-ranking spots on the search returns page. As such,
Panda is basically a content quality filter

Penguin takes a more aggressive stance against sites that
intentionally utilize unlawful ‘black-hat’ techniques, which
became so prevalent that the effectiveness of search engines
was substantially reduced. Penguin is an update that actively
locates these sites and reduces their ranking accordingly.

Hummingbird takes a step back from the idea of penalizing,
and instead works toward improving search returns in
general. By using a more complex understanding of human
language, Hummingbird reduces Google’s dependency on
keywords. Instead, it takes into account syntax, word order,
and other possible variables in a search request.
