subject: Improving Your Search Engine Ranking [print this page] Search results from a search engine like Google, Yahoo! and Bing are usually shown in a list called search engine result pages (SERPs). The earlier the website appears in the search list, the higher the chance that more visitors will visit the website. So having a high rank in the search engines is an important factor in gaining more visitors to a website. In order to get a high rank in search engines, search engine optimization (SEO) is used to achieve this.
Search engine optimizationis the process of improving the search engine ranking of a website by increasing the amount of traffic to a website from search engines through "natural" or "un-paid" search results. Search engine optimization is different from search engine marketing (SEM) where the visibility of a website in the search engine is improved through paid placement, contextual advertising, or paid inclusion.
Search engine optimization is an internet marketing strategy that considers the algorithms used by search engines and the keywords searched by the target market. Search engine optimization may focus on different kinds of search like local search, image search, video search and domain-specific search.
Search engine optimization also includes optimizing a website through web designing and web development. The website content and HTML is edited in order to increase the relevance of specific keywords in order to support the indexing activities of search engines. The web site designs, menus, content, and management systems would also be optimized in order to increase search engine exposure.
People who perform search engine optimization are called search engine optimizers. They offer services that can be independent, or part of larger marketing campaign.
