SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of planning and implementing campaigns that make Web site pages more relevant in the eyes of search engines, for a select set of target keywords or topics.

There are over one hundred factors that Google uses to rank every eligible page for a given search query, but much of the ranking weight is based on page content and links that point from one page or site to another.

Content and Content Quality

It is essential to have a content plan that supports your SEO strategy.  A single instance of a target keyword phrase on a page is insufficient; an entire page about the target phrase is better; a series of interlinked pages about a keyword theme is better yet.  Also, search engine algorithms are now using metrics based on the quality of content to rank pages.

Links Drive Rankings

Links that point from page to page within your site and from other sites into your site (inbound links) are critical to organic rankings success.  Inbound links in particular are treated in a popularity vote fashion, where more links (and links from important sites) earn your site ranking value.  Increasingly, the visibility of a Web site’s brand on the Internet also influences rankings success.
