Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a process of improving congruency between page content, title, description, headings and pictures, so the search engines see it as more relevant to the search term (keyword) and therefore place it higher in the search results.
Search engine ranking of your website and its ultimate position on a search results page is a result of a complex algorithm.
The algorithm takes into consideration over 200 different factors such as content relevance, page authority, popularity, freshness of content and even page loading speed.
These factors can be grouped as on-page factors (keywords, content, page titles, descriptions, URLs) and off-page factors (number and authority of links leading to the domain and its different pages).
On-page Search Engine Optimization
involves primarily editing the content of each page and associated coding, with the aim of increasing its relevance to specific keywords, and therefore improving its search engine ranking.
Off-page Search Engine Optimization (Link building),
involves promoting your website through article marketing, directory listing, video marketing and other ways, so that your site grows in popularity and acquires links from other sites.
The number of links from other sites increases website rank and authority and results in better positioning of your website in the search results.
Search Engine Optimization process
Search Engine Optimization is a complex and laborious task. It often involves extensive keyword research and competitive analysis.
It needs to be done on a regular basis because your website position in the search results constantly changes, depending on a multitude of factors - changing search patterns, growing competition, seo performed by your competitors, periodic changes in the search algorithm by the search engines.
This means that you shouldn't rest on your laurels, even when you make it to the top of the search results. You need to continue building links, add fresh content to your website and increase the number of keywords through which your site can be found.
