A Search Engine Optimization Campaign – Quick & Dirty
An effectual Search Engine Optimization campaign begins by using keywords to target the subjects which you intend your web site to rank for. In order to rank in the search engine results pages (SERP’s), a web site has to have a position of relevance to the search engine for a given search term. This is usually achieved by having keyword rich content on the site that coincides with the search term that the internet user types into the search engine. In organic, (natural) search engine optimization, there are several factors that contribute to the ranking for a search term. Every search engine provider has their own unique set of criteria that they use to determine which web site is most relevant for that specific term. The factors that are used to establish search engine rankings are then calculated by a complex search engine algorithm. Because of the high amount of targeted customer traffic that stands to be gained by a web site that has a top-ranked position in the search engines, the search providers keep the details of the factors which make up their algorithm a closely guarded secret. Even though the search providers are careful with the exact formula that they use to gauge the rankings of web sites, there have been several constants discovered that when applied, produce favorable results.
