Search Engine Opti­miza­tion (SEO)

The goal of SEO is to max­i­mize the long term vis­i­bil­ity of your web­site, not only in terms of your actual users, but search engine spi­ders as well. Search engine spi­ders are pro­grams that index your web­site pages. When you type a word or phrase into a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or MSN the most rel­e­vant pages are dis­played accord­ing to its algo­rithm, which ranks the web page con­tent relat­ing to your search. Web­sites that are opti­mized for search engine spi­ders rank higher on results pages and there­fore receive more traf­fic and are deemed more relevant.

Under­stand­ing SEO
Any­one can under­stand why it makes sense to be highly vis­i­ble online; how­ever, under­stand­ing SEO is another story. Think of SEO as an art form, an over­ar­ch­ing web­site goal that you are try­ing to reach — do not think of SEO as a sci­ence. There is no direct for­mula, or secret process to achieve higher search engine rank­ings, just a great deal of hard work and commitment.
