New technologies and developments in existing technologies are appearing at an extraordinary rate on the internet. As technologies change, so does the terminology used to describe them.
The same is true for search engine optimization. For many people, the term is a new one, and they have no idea what is an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) does. To others, SEO is synonymous with
Search Engine Marketing (SEM). There is actually a big difference between the two.
Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Organic SEO (search engine optimization) encompasses the philosophy of presenting quality and value for the searchers. No deceptive tricks are used to trick anyone to visit. And besides - you don't want just visitors - you want targeted potential customers. Interestingly organic SEO is also widely called ethical SEO - for obvious reasons.
There are two main categories for the techniques to be put in place. The first is "on-site optimizing" - whose main concern is the
presentation of quality content. It should be
informative,
interesting and
useful. Once the content is in place - instructions to the search engine spiders are coded and placed on the page. Then both are tweaked until there is a high correlation between what the humans see and the code that the spiders see.
To draw a specific audience - keywords are selected to attract viewers. Thorough expert analysis is needed to ensure focus, adequate numbers of searchers looking for those terms, and who the competition for those words is. Are you competing against 10 rivals or a thousand? Are there 100 potential customers or a million? Once determined - the keywords are entered onto the appropriate computer tags.
The second technique is "off-site optimizing" which deals with promotion and marketing your business on other urls. Keyword-rich links are submitted to search engines and directories. Articles may be written and syndicated. Related, usually non-competitors may trade banners with you. 'Link farms and questionable domains are avoided."
