Search Engine Optimization, or SEO is making sure your site is setup
so that the worlds search engines are able to easily index your site,
so that you can be found by your potential and current clients. If
you aren't listed in the top search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo
etc. how will anyone be able to find your web site. Not only that,
but if you are on page 3, or lower of the results you may as well
not be listed either.
There are many ways to optimize a web site for search engines, and
some methods like cloaking can do more harm than good. Some SEO tricks
that may have been used in the past can now cause your site to be
banned from Google, and that defiantly something you don't want to
happen.
Everyone wants to be in the top 5 results of all the search engines,
especially google, so depending on the keywords you want to focus
on, and the competition for those words, that can be relatively low,
or extremely high. The more competition for your chose keywords, the
harder it is going to be to get top results. Try doing a search for
words you would want your site to be found with and look on the right
side where it says how many pages were found. If there are three million
sites using those words, you need to stand out from the rest, and
just having a site won't necessarily do that for you.
