Search Engine Optimization

SEO also known as Search Engine Optimization is really an incredible thing. Basically this is the library of the internet, lets say that you are a librarian and someone comes to you for help and they want an exact book well how would you know which book would best fit there needs. First you would have to know each and every book that you guys have and what is inside each book. This is done using an algorithm these algorithms make it easier for you to find the information that you need. Each major search engine like Google, Bing, Yahoo, ETC. take all the information that is out there and they break it up into different algorithms that help them to fit the search you are asking for.
If you own a website having high search rankings is very important. This is what helps your business grow and your website be one of the top dogs above all the rest. Now you might as how would I make my website more searched then others. The answer is by having all of the ingredients to make your algorithm stand out more then the others.  The first step to fitting the algorithm is words each search engine knows all the words that are in your website. So if you are a car repair shop it is very important that you have a lot of words saying CAR and REPAIR that way the algorithm will see your website. Second will be your title this is in the URL of your website it is important to have those key words in your URL if you want to algorithm to find you easily. Third is links it is very important that your website is linked to many others this usually means that you have good information or maybe good reviews the more links that you have to your website the more likely your page will be viewed. Third is the words that are used in your links, back to the Car Repair if your links say that you are the best car repair shop then you will have much more success. Lastly is reputation sites matter if they have lots of new and refreshing content will help you out a bunch. The SEO can see how often you are getting new content and this will help you stand out more then websites that don’t have lots of new info. I like to compare this step to someone on twitter or Facebook sometimes if someone hasn’t posted in months you are less likely to follow them because you will see that they aren’t going to post anything.
When learning about this it really made me think of the website Amazon. Have you ever noticed any time you want to buy something online you type it in a search engine, Amazon seems to be the first website that comes up. This is because they have followed all of the steps to have the algorithm find them first. First they are making sure that they have all the words that you are looking for. Second they usually have the word you are looking for in there URL, which I think, is really crazy. Third is links there are always links that are trying to take you to amazon which can sometimes be annoying but it sure is helping them out. Lastly is there reputation, amazon is always posting new things and have great interaction with them. This is why Amazon has become so popular is by following all of there algorithms. I hope this helped.
