What Is Search Engine Optimization

SEO & Marketing 1 Comment »

Search Engine Optimization is a process of choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases related to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site highly in search engines so that when someone searches for specific phrases it returns your site on tops. It basically involves fine tuning the content of your site along with the HTML and Meta tags and also involves appropriate link building process. The most popular search engines are Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, AOL and Ask Jeeves. Search engines keep their methods and ranking algorithms secret, to get credit for finding the most valuable search-results and to deter spam pages from clogging those results. A search engine may use hundreds of factors while ranking the listings where the factors themselves and the weight each carries may change continually. Algorithms can differ so widely that a web page that ranks #1 in a particular search engine could rank #200 in another search engine. New sites need not be “submitted” to search engines to be listed. A simple link from a well established site will get the search engines to visit the new site and begin to spider its contents. It can take a few days to even weeks from the referring of a link from such an established site for all the main search engine spiders to commence visiting and indexing the new site.

Link Anchor Text does matter!!

I realized something while surfing the Internet today. I was viewing random sites but the sites aren’t what I noticed. I was looking at the links to other sites and I realized that its stupid to buy or make a link to just the domain.

For example putting a link on another site like: hpkmedia.com is a bad idea. Instead it should be hpkmedia.com as the link and for the anchor text it should be “webmaster blog”.

I thought I would write about this because I have building sites and selling sites for more then a year now. Except I had no idea of this concept.

The reason you want to put your keywords into the link is because it helps you rank higher in search engines and link development!

Here are some examples:
