What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search Engine Optimization is a practice or a set of procedures done by website owners to get more traffic to their site from search engines.

In layman’s language, all that stuff done to get more people to visit your website and thereby get money from it.

There are different ways and procedures to get this done. There are the bad methods and the good methods. The good methods are the ones that are advised by Google and the other prominent search engines, while they do not want you to do the bad methods(known as Black Hat Search Engine Optimization).

In SEO, many of the procedures are advised by Google as they bring traffic to any website on the internet than any other search engine.Many webmasters like to follow the SEO measures advocated by them.So don’t be amazed to see people talking about only Google when talking about SEO.

According to the Wikipedia,

Search engine optimization (SEO), a subset of search engine marketing, is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (”organic” or “algorithmic”) search results.

The idea of SEO is based on the fact that - Many people use the search engines to find information on the internet. And when they use a search engine, they rely on the top most results that appear on the search engine page. Therefore what every Search Engine Optimization guru, tries to do is get their website in the top results for a particular search item.And for a single website, when they have optimized their pages so as to appear on the top results for all the search terms they are interested in - he is likely to be successful.

For example,if you see this blog. We are on the top results for the search term(called keyword) - “Iphone themes“. So whenever someone searches for iphone themes on google using the keyword - iphone themes- this blog would come up in the top 5 and the user is likely to visit it.

That’s the whole idea. Now, getting your blog to come up in the top results isn’t simple.It involves lot of thinking and idea implementation.If you will go through this blog’s archives you will see many useful pieces of tips regarding how you can successsfully use search engine optimization techniques to make your blog come up on the top pages of search engines.

Some of them are -

I normally refer a few blogs to my readers such as - Michael Gray’s SEO blog, SEO round table, SEOmoz and the like. They are indeed great resources on search engine optimization. you may also want to read Matt Cutt’s (who’s a Google employee) blog where he posts his thoughts on search engine optimization.

10 SEO tips!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be an effective form of website marketing within natural search engine listings; but, if you're new to the industry, knowing where to begin can be a daunting task. So, to help out those of you who are new to SEO, I've created a list of 10 simple, yet effective tips and strategies that serve as an excellent starting point for improving your search engine ranking.

1. Define Measurable Goals

Before optimizing your website, define your goals and make sure they are measurable. Goals are the foundation of your optimization efforts.

2. Conduct Keyword Research Use various keyword research tools such as Google Keyword Tool, Keyword Discovery and/or Wordtracker to get an idea of popularly used search terms related to your products/services.

3. Incorporate Keywords into Content Write each individual page around the keywords you chose to target. Write for human visitors, not search engines. Avoid keyword stuffing, instead incorporate keywords so that your content reads naturally.

4. Write Unique, Keyword Rich Title Tags Give unique title tags to each page of your website rather than applying one default title tag to all pages or giving no title tags at all. This will help drive traffic to internal web pages and return more specific results within Search Engine Results Pages.

5. Create a Sitemap Create a textual link to a Sitemap from every page of your website. This ensures visitors and Search Engines access to all of the pages on your website.

6. Avoid an all-Flash website Use Flash in smaller doses such as Flash highlights within an HTML based site. Search engines cannot quite yet fully interpret Flash, thus limiting your search optimization potential for entirely Flash based websites.
