How To Understand SEO?
Lets begin with a quick explanation of SEO:
SEO is short for Search Engine Optimisation and this is what all online marketers are trying to achieve.
Search Engine Optimisation is achieved by selecting the best targeted keyword phrases that relates to your site, to make sure your site can get ranked high in the listing when people type in those words. It basically puts your site in pole position.
So, it promotes your site through the content your site has, through the HTML and Meta tags (tags that provide the search engine information about the page), which your site uses and all of the links that are out there on the internet that point back to your site. All of this drives traffic to your site.
Google, Bing, MSN Search, Yahoo, AOL and Ask Jeeves are among the most popular search engines used.
In order to limit spamming the search engines have certain processes in place, so that the best results can be reached.
Search engines differ in many way with regards to processing rank positions, therefore to achieve good results it is going to take effort. There is no such thing as a magic bullet.
A new site can be listed even without being submitted to the search engine. This is done by placing links from from well established sites. This will get the search engine t visit the new site and begin to start publishing the content. This process could take days or weeks from the referring link to the search engines spiders to go out and start visiting and indexing the site.
So What Is A Search Engine Spider?
It is software used by search engines to litterally crawl through the internet and open up links, then grab content and start indexing it.
