The Internet About Search Engine Optimization
A site's success can be measured by the traffic it receives. Websites that offer merchandise rely greatly on visitors. Websites that have great rankings will do a lot better than those that rank poorly. Search engine optimization, or SEO, may boost these rankings. To learn how to use SEO on your site, keep reading. When setting up a page for SEO, avoid the temptation to set up text or links specifically to manipulate search engines. For example, text that is the same color as the page background, text that is invisibly tiny, or links that are only a few pixels wide, will set off alarms at the search engine. These "black hat" methods can get your site banned entirely from the listings. If you own a local business and want to make yourself more visible to search engines, make sure you list your business on Google Places. This step will bring up your business to the top of a Google search and will show any information you include (address, phone, website), as well as a map.
