Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine’s un-paid or “organic” search results. A site’s search ranking directly corresponds to the amount of visits it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including media (audio, image, video, etc.) search, local search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, Search Engine Optimization considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.
