Search engine optimization is today most debated and misunderstood concept. Almost every company you talk to about website need or IT first thing they want talk is SEO or search engine optimization. I want to be on 1st position in Google. Can you do that?
Do these guys understand what is SEO and how does it works? That is very big question. There are xxxxx amount of people and companies providing search engine optimization services in market. Every one explains SEO in different way. Every company their own SEO plan for their customer. Some of then use 1 method which others say it’s not good. And they pass this knowledge of SEO to customer and as a result of that every customer talks about SEO in different way.
So exactly what is SEO and how does it work?
SEO is very broad field. SEO stand for search engine optimization. You are optimizing you webpage for search engine so search engine can find useful information you visitors are looking for and display your page in result section as close as 1st position or on 1st position. Now on other hand search engine says that they prefer the natural way of website and information presentation. If search engine find out that website has tried to manipulate the information, or tried to manipulate algorithm of search engine, then that website might get penalized for doing this.
When representing information to customers, search engine looks for many factors in websites, such as, real information presented in website, the number of websites linking to this website, the quality of those websites, the area of those websites, internal pages of this website, back information such as title, Meta tags, and proper use of alt tags. And after finding these entire information useful search engine decide whether to display that website in search result or not.
Now after looking at how search engine find the websites which will be relevant to search term, let’s have a look at how to optimize the page for that search term.
Optimizing a page for search engine is very long process, it takes very long time and result is not guaranteed as search engine have final authority to select and display website in search results. But if you optimize page properly and build links in natural way then, result is almost sure and once you start getting result then you can be there for very long time and reap the fruit of your hard work.
On other hand if you try to do something in hurry and SE find out then you might get your website hurt. So if you have very useful information on your website, its getting updated more frequently, you have related websites linking back to you in natural way, and you don’t have bad websites linking to you then you are on right track of getting on 1st position for certain targeted keywords.
In optimizing websites there are certain ethical issues involved which many companies don’t find useful and don’t follow those ethics and as a result of that they get themselves hurt at the long run and end up in westing time and money.
