What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. A search engine is a tool many internet users use to find sites that are relevant to their needs. The biggest trio when it comes to search engines is formed by Google, Yahoo and MSN. However, out there are hundreds of search engines available to internet users. Search engines work by sending out spiders to crawl through the Web and gather websites information. If you have the information they're looking for, in the places they are looking, they'll find you and place you in their results when a person is looking for your information.
The task of understanding what search engines are looking for and putting it in the right places on your website and in your content, is the essence of search engine optimization. The question is "what do search engines look for and where do they look for it"? The answer to this question is much simpler than you might think. Search engines are looking for are keywords and links. Keywords in your html coding, keywords on your webpage content, keywords in your content, and the number of incoming links you have to your website.
