What is SEO? Why is it so popular? Can my website benefit from SEO Process?

[Adney Ryder]

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.

The acronym "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, images, videos, shopping carts, and other elements that have been optimized for the purpose of search engine exposure.

Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or Spamdexing, use methods such as link farms, keyword stuffing and article spinning that degrade both the relevance of search results and the user-experience of search engines. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques in order to remove them from their indices.

1. Great targeted exposure for business: While advertizing or publicizing on any other mode you cannot be sure that your business is actually reaching the right person at the right time. However with SEO your listing appears only when a person is searching for a product/service that you provide. This would mean that is most cases you’ll be reaching out to the right audience. Moreover since search engines are used 24/7 you can be ensured of continued exposure. Lastly, these search engines can be accessed worldwide which would mean that your business would get great outlook.

2. Better ROI: While a lot of business owners try a variety of options to make money through marketing, SEO offers a better ROI than almost any other kind of media. The reason being that a few hundred dollars to may be a few thousand dollars that might be spent on just a few minutes of advertising can help you advertise for a month on the search engines if you are on the top pages. Also at times, you might not have to invest a penny if you have occupies the first position for a keyword on a search engine.

3. Huge online presence: Lastly one of the biggest facts that has drawn a lot of business owners to opt for search engine marketing is that a lot of people across the globe have access to computers and internet and are logged in for quite a few hours daily. Hence it can be said that a lot of potential customers are present online which ultimately draws the sellers to advertise there!
