SEO is the practice of optimizing a web site's presence or ranking within the search engines.

It deals with improving the number and/or quality of visitors directed to a web site via the search engines. In effect, SEO is a form of marketing that appeals to search engine criteria to increase a sites relevance and ultimately it's web traffic.

A range of strategies and techniques are employed in SEO, including changes to a site's backend code and maintaining links from other sites. Search engines display different kinds of listings on a search engine results page, including paid advertising in the form of "Pay Per Click" advertisements and paid inclusion listings, as well as unpaid general search results and keyword specific listings, such as news stories, definitions, map locations, and images. SEO is concerned with improving the number and position of a site's listing in the general search results.

SEO, as a marketing strategy, can often generate a good return. However, as the search engines are not paid for the traffic they send from a search, the criteria used can and does change, effecting a site's page ranking. There are no absolute guarantees of success, either in the short or long term.

Why do you need SEO?

The majority of web traffic is driven by the major commercial search engines - Yahoo!, MSN, and Google. If your site cannot be found by search engines or your content cannot be put into their databases, you miss out on the incredible opportunities the internet holds. Whether your site provides content, services, products, or information, search engines are a primary method of navigation for almost all Internet users.

Search queries; the words and phrases that users type into the search box, carry extraordinary value. The purpose of SEO is to ensure your site is recognized by search keywords that are appropriate to your site content (Note that "Trade - Specific Terms" are not always understood and popularly searched for by your buyers). Experience has shown that search engine traffic can make (or break) an organization's success. Targeted visitors to a website can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure like no other. Investing time or money in SEO, can have an exceptional rate of return.
