Search Engine Optimization

It seems everywhere you turn businesses are talking about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is somewhat of a misunderstood term. To really understand SEO, one must understand what a search engine is. A search engine generates results for the selected terms entered in the search field. Google is an example of a popular search engine. When you type "insurance" into the search field on Google, the search engine then produces 10 search results and in most cases, paid advertising that is located above or in the right margin of the 10 search results. This paid advertising above and to the right of the 10 search results is not considered true SEO, it is called pay-per-click advertising, named so because the advertiser pays every time their ad is "clicked", sound expensive? It can be!

It's no wonder that businesses are now turning to true search engine optimization strategies in an effort to to capture one of those 10 "organic", unpaid for, search results. Have you ever wondered how those websites get into the first 10 results of a search engine? The answer may surprise you. Those websites are there because the search engines are "rewarding" them for using strategies and techniques that make their websites more relevant to visitors and more visible to the search engines.

It makes sense, if the search engines can't find your website you have no chance at becoming relevant to people searching for what you sell or provide! Viola, you now know what true SEO is: efforts and techniques used to make your website more relevant to users and more visible to search engines.
