Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to the process of optimizing your website so that it will rank higher in natural (organic) search results. When someone types in a phrase that relates to your service or product, you want your website to appear (rank) as high on the first page of the search results as possible.

Search engines have a set of rules they use to determine the relevance of your content with regard to a search phrase. Google evaluates over 200 factors in this process. This set of rules (or algorithms) isn’t published and is subject to constant tweaking. Ultimately, there are thousands of details involved in optimizing a site. Only someone who does this on a daily basis is able to recognize and take advantage of the myriad details that can increase a site’s ranking.

Website owners should beware of firms that employ “black hat” techniques to deliver quick results. It’s easy to be enticed by the prospect of a quick-fix. In reality, however, there must be balance to the optimization strategy. An approach that takes a site “too far, too fast,” can cause serious harm and result in the site being banned from the search engines.

It also easy to think that “if a little is good, a lot is better.” In reality, however, it is possible to over-optimize a site. Thousands of website owners had an unpleasant surprise in 2003 when Google launched what is now known as The Florida Update. At that time, Google modified its rules to weed out websites that had been over-optimized to manipulate their rankings; the result was a large number of websites being relegated to obscurity.
