The internet has billions and billions of websites, millions and millions of business websites, and chances are that there are thousands of other companies offering the same services as your company’s website. The web has transformed the world of business, and your website is critical to your company’s success. You’ve worked hard to launch and build your business, and you’ve invested your time and money to have a great website. But how can you make sure that potential customers can find your website in an ocean full of websites that advertise services like yours?
The answer to that question is Search Engine Optimization (sometimes abbreviated as SEO). Search Engine Optimization is one of the most crucial components of search engines today. Depending on how Search Engine Optimization is utilized, this amazing feature can drive people to your website, or it can make sure that no one will ever go near it. How many times have you used the “Search” feature on Google or Yahoo! And gotten more than 800,000 results? Probably hundreds of times. Did you ever visit all 800,000 sites? Probably not. Consider the times that you have used the internet to research an obscure topic and got 25 results. Did you visit all 25 websites? Again, probably not.
When a computer user types into a search engine, the search engine creates a list of websites that are related to that search. Search engines use Search Engine Optimization to create the list of results by order of relevance. The first few websites listed contain the most information about the topic that was searched for, and the sites are listed in descending order from most relevant to the least relevant. Search Engine Optimization creates these rankings by quickly scanning sites for keywords in the search and the number of links between pages in the site, which is an indication of a well organized page filled with information pertaining to the terms typed into the search engine. In addition, a webpage’s ranking in a search is affected by whether or not it is indexed with the search engine (which is a service that should be provided by your website’s hosting company).
