Search Engine Optimisation

What it's all about

If you are new to the concept of SEO (short for Search Engine Optimisation/Optimization) you are most probably wondering what all the hype is about, however, if you have had a website for a while you will have noticed the necessity for the practice which is essentially the fine art of making your website easier to find for people searching it using "niche language."

Niche language simply means using terms and phrases in your website copy that are most commonly used by people when they type what they are looking for into a search engine. These phrases are also noted and collected by the search engine bots and spiders that belong to the search engines. The more "search engine friendly" the copy in your website is to the search engine spiders, the more likely people are to find you (which of course should increase your sales.) This is just one of the pivotal aspects of search engine optimisation (optimization).

To use a metaphor - let us say that the launching of your website is like starting a new business. Launching a website without any type of search engine optimisation/optimization is like starting a business and not letting anyone know that the company exists.

Very simply

Search engine optimisation is the process of making your website as identifiable as possible to the search engines.

Techniques

When doing the search engine optimisation (optimization), a website must always remain user friendly, after all being on top of the search engine results means nothing if the user can't use or understand it. Further more some search engines have been known to penalize websites for being "over-optimised".

If this sound's like it may be a tricky thing to accomplish, it is, and the rules of SEO are forever changing. The search engines are continuously trying to improve the relevancy of their results and therefore change the requirements for a website to rank well.

Any beginner, who wants to make his place on the internet and is launching a website, should consider search engine optimisation (optimization) even if only for the initial design and development of the website (known as website optimisation/optimization).
