SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing web site content in order to improve it’s search rankings within Google.com, Yahoo.com, Bing.com, Ask.com, and other search providers.

The tricky part with SEO is that rankings for web sites may differ depending on the searcher’s location and past search preferences. This has become more of an occurrence in the past few years because search engines are trying to present the most appropriate search results for each visitor so that those visitors will keep coming back.

Google and Bing do not publicly divulge what calculations and algorithms they use to determine search rankings, nor will they go into much detail about this process. The reason for this is that they are trying to prevent spammers and ”black-hat” marketers from ”cheating” the ranking system in order to get higher rankings.

Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing practice that requires an experienced SEO expert, one who is familiar with the unwritten guidelines related to best practices for SEO. It can take several years to develop this skill-set and knowledge, and leaving your SEO efforts in the hands of someone less experienced will result in lower rankings and have a negative impact to your bottom line.

Any search ranking below the #10 position is basically invisible to most search users. Anything above the #5 spot is good. A #1 ranking produces about 70% of the click thru traffic on a Search Engine Results Page, but it can take a very long time to settle in at the #1 spot for popular search terms.
