Introduction
It is critical to build and design an attractive website, but this alone will not drive traffic to your website. There is extensive data showing that most people when searching for a product or business online only choose links to businesses found at the top of a search page and to the left.
Also, the ranking of your website link or URL needs to be among the top ten ranked searches listed. The higher your business appears on the search engine’s ranking, the more likely that Internet traffic will visit your webpage.
What is Search Engine Optimization and how does it work?
Search Engine Optimization or SEOs for short, are methods that improve the position or ranking of a website in the listings provided by search engines when searches are performed.
There are many methods that SEOs utilize to bring more traffic to a customer’s website. Of those methods, major methods are:
Keyword optimization
Keyword optimization is a function by which designers of websites and SEOs work to make sure that keyword tags linked to your business are accurate and lead traffic to the product you are selling or type of business that you are. For most companies, a key tag of three words should match to your company’s website. For example, let’s say your product or business is a locksmith business. The three tags for your business could be locksmith, keys, and locks.
One thing to keep in mind with Search Engine Optimization is that search engines utilize algorithms. One way in which an algorithm for a search engine works is to lead Internet traffic to popular websites. Websites that are popular based on existing Internet traffic are deemed by the writers of the algorithms to be in high demand. Therefore those websites with high existing traffic will be ranked high on a search engine’s ranking.
There are many ways to have search engine algorithms believe that your or any company’s website is popular.
Algorithm methods
These ways include blogs about your company and articles published about your company. Many SEOs utilize blogging and the publishing of articles in addition to keyword search utilization to increase internet traffic to your website.
Internet traffic
Increasing Internet traffic to your website is important for two major reasons. One is that when a consumer is on the Internet, they are considered an active customer who is ready to buy with just a click of their mouse. Another important reason for utilizing an SEO to direct traffic to your company’s website is that a website is open 24 hours.
