Having a web site is only the first step towards making use of the Internet as a
marketing tool.
Equally as important (and many would even say more important) is
promoting your site to ensure you attract as many potential customers as possible.
SEO (search engine optimisation) is an extremely complex and crucial step part of
your web marketing.
Search engine optimisation relates to the process of adjusting
your web site to help a search engine recognise the quality of the information that
you have to offer and to match that information to search phrases that are entered
by prospective clients.
At a very, very, basic level a search engine is little more
than a glorified matchmaking agency; there are those that are looking for information
and those that are looking to provide information. All a search engine does is match
those looking with those who can provide, hence optimising your site correctly is
absolutely critical.
A search engine will use complex algorithms to determine which
page has the most relevant information to offer about a particular keyword or search
phrase.
The precise amount of information collected will vary with each search engine,
but generally, the page title, page text and keyword density are recognised as important
factors, along with the number and quality of other sites that link through to your
own.
