Search Engine Marketing and Optimization

Would you like to know how to drive more customers to your website? Every month in America alone, 7 billion people use the internet to search for news, to shop for bargains, gain knowledge, conduct research and to play games, or organize their businesses, and to engage in countless other tasks. According to Forester Research, 80 percent of internet users will employ a search engine (SE) to ultimately arrive at the landing page of their choice. That means of course that marketing success relies heavily upon just where your business is listed on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). This makes search engines something equivalent to the Yellow Pages and the Air Traffic Control Centers of the internet. Out of several trillion offerings, just how does a SE decide which websites are worthy of a front row seat on a SERP? Can they simply be bribed like any number of politicians throughout the world? Well, not quite! Search engines use a program called an algorithm (algo) to decide which landing pages are to be presented for each search inquiry. The key to marketing in the new internet global business environment is something called Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. That's where we come in.

Have you ever wondered why certain companies do well online and others do not? It is more than likely that a successful online business is constantly working to optimize its web pages and gaining back links all the time. It actually takes a certain amount of knowledge, skill, patience, and time to optimize you web presence in order to drive more customers to your site. But the consequences of doing nothing can make having a website simply a waste of time, money, and resources.

The fundamental reason that people are online at any given moment is to search for information. It is the internet's primary commodity. This is what is meant by the phase 'The Information Age'. The internet has ultimately changed the way that the vast majority of people on the planet actually live their lives. Understanding just how the information super-highway works is fundamental to learning how to drive more customers to your website.

Search Engines use what are called 'spiders' or 'crawlers' to profile and index what's on the internet. These spiders and crawlers are basically interested in reading and categorizing text. All of that other stuff online, the images, audio, and video are really not that important to them. They love text. This is where Search Engine Optimization comes in. Before a person decides whether you have what they are actually looking for, they are going to read the text on your landing page. They are searching for information and they want to know if you can deliver it for them. The better you are at delivering a comprehensive message that informs and grabs the attention of visitors to your site, the more likely you are to close the sale. In the process, you will also need to make sure that your articles contain sufficient meta-tags and keyword density in order to gain the good graces of the search engine.
