In simple Words Search Engine Optimization means developing ,designing or making a site in such a way that it comes first or at least on first page. SEO is done on the basis of some key word.For e.g if your site is about fans then your key word can be "fan" or may be "cool fan" or may be"cheap fan".So that when some one type this key word in search box your site comes at first page.With increasing market the SEO is becoming more and more important to the webmasters.

Holy cow Douglas.

I've been coming here to Daniweb for some time now and I've seen a few pink clouding webmaesters [that's a correct spelling variation, I think] puke out some pretty strange definitions for SEO and using some of the most outright infantile spelling inventions one could possibly conceive but I must say, your bizzare blurb takes the cake buddy.

SEO is a process or method to gain higher positions on major search engines through its key phrases.

Surely you jest. Just by reading your short babble I can tell that real SEO is something that you know very little about.

It is possible to attain high rankings in competitive keyphrase environments without using SEO at all, linking strategists accomplish this in practically every Internet industry; but linking strategists are not search engine optimizers (they are search engine manipulators). Big difference between the two skill sets. One needs to develop the craft of SEO copy writing and continuously practice effective optimization of the various web page components while the other needs to learn how to beg, borrow, buy, steal, dump and/or swap links. Both Internet marketing specialists can achieve top results in the SERPs but both cannot keep their dignity in tact during the process.

thanks fred for clearing it out... the difference betweek the SKILL sets of search engine optimizers and manipulator

@canadafred: Thanks for your clarification. It's a pity the way some think that SEO is something 'simple' you can attain overnight.

Whilst the knowledge for same is widely available on the net only very few individuals/organizations have mastered same and with the constant change in the industry one is always learning new things on a daily basis.

SEO composed of ideas and strategies to market a product or site.It is a process that most marketers do today.

SEO is a kind of a profession that needs a lot of time and effort...especially patience.

And without SEO work website cant be done...
Its the key to get traffic and website marketing

SEO is not meant to be that complex and sometimes even Google and Yahoo staff become surprised to find some complicated ideas made by some people who think they know everything. Many sites that are developed naturally are found among the top ranking portals.
