SEO or Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization is the process of improve a websites organic rankings in a search engine like Google. The process is not simple and relies on a great deal of high quality and keyword rich content. There are two main types of SEO which are ‘on page’ and ‘off page’. The former being the starting point for any search marketing campaign.

It is important to make sure that your website is complete with relevant meta information on every page, useful content and appropriate headings. Once your content is complete then you need to make sure you are targeting the right keywords. You will also need a working XML sitemap which is submitted to search engines and a robots .txt file which allows search engines to crawl your website with its robots to index your pages. After that is all done then you can look at your off page optimization which includes mainly link building. The more back links to your site you have the more respect your site will get from the search engines.

Backlinks give your website more value and hopefully a lot of respect from search engine robots. The more links pointing to your site with keyword specific anchor text, the higher you will rank in Google or any search engine for those key phrases. So if your phrase is “search engine marketing” then that is what the link text needs to be. Notice how the phrase is linking to our site..?
