What is Search Engine Optimization?

Tuesday, July 8, 2008 by Thao Nguyen


Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a technique used to make your web pages more useful for your customer. This is inexpensive way to get more page views by creating Web Pages that rank highly in search engine results. There is few things you can make your pages do better
1. Write strong content
You should focus on the content of your web pages. The search engines want to provide links to relevant pages, so that their program are tunned to read and review the content of your web pages to make sure that what are on your webpages are what they are really looking for.

2. Write valid HTML
This is often one step of SEO that a lot of Web developers forget. Web developers usually focus on other aspects of SEO that they leave behind the simple things like valid HTML. You should notice that writing valid HTML would make your web paged get spidered much more than meta keywords or meta descriptions.

3. Find good keyword phrases
However, don' try to come up with every keyword phrases possible. Instead, focus on one phrase that can capture what your page is about, and make sure that this phrase is repeated within your page.

4. Don't optimize your entire site.
Confusing?? I learned that many web developers want to use one keyword phrase and optimize their entire sites with that keyword phrase. I know it's a lot of easier for you; however, it won't get any result that you would want. Instead, find one keyword phrase that works with one page in your site and optimize it. Then, move on to the next page. So, your readers will have more way to find your site.

5. Don't give up
SEO takes a long time to see results with. Even if you ased a search engine to spider your web pages, it still takes days to appear in the results. So, don't get discouraged by your rankings. All you need to do is just keep trying.
