Search Engine Optimization
When people think of online marketing and the search engines,SEO is usually the first thing that comes to one’s mind. SEO is incorporated into a site that the search engines will rank as one of the most relevant pages for a given term. The fact is, 95 percent of searchers click on a page that appears on the first page results for Google, Yahoo or Bing. Yоu can ѕее that search engine ranking is indeed a very big dеаl!
Building a solid SEO strategy consists primarily of selecting relevant keywords and providing valuable content related to those keywords. In the past, SEO was driven by factors like keyword placement, keyword density, and even how many times was used to link to that page.
But the search engines quickly discovered that keywords could easily be manipulated. A page that has nothing to do with a keyword could end up be ranked in the top three, just by optimizing the page. Today, this means that sites who rely solely on keywords are often ignored or get penalized by the search engines for trying to game the system.
Instead, SEO should include:
- Relevant Keywords
- Valuable Content that is Shared
- A Website that Loads Quickly
- Both Images & Content are essential to SEO
- Backlinks from Respected Websites
