Search Engines And The Internet
It can almost be said that search engines rule the Internet. If your web site is not listed and ranking reasonably highly in the search engines, then no one can find it and you will have no natural search traffic. People complain about the vagaries of the search engines, and sometimes it seems that they have a point. But at the end of the day, the search engines hold all the cards - it’s their rules that count.
“People use search engines to find what they are seeking on the World Wide Web. They can go to a search engine from their browser and type in a query, or keyword, in the query bar. The search engine will return all the results that it believes to be pertinent to that query.” www.webopedia.com
“Typically, a search engine works by sending out a spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called an indexer, then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query.”
This is why you really need to search engine optimise your web site. What does that mean? It means you need to make sure that each of your web site pages are targeted to one major keyowrd, and that it has .several lesser keywords sprinkled throughout the page. In this way the search engine robots will know exactkly what your page is about when they visit it.
It will also mean that the page will rise naturally in the search engine results to rank reasonably highly, ot even very high. then when a search engine visitor types in a keyword in the query bar that is the same as your web site’s theme, you stand a good chance of coming up in the search results. This means your web site will gain decent traffic, and if you have a product on offer, some of them will buy it!
