About Search Engine Optimization and Marketing

In the past, search engines based rankings on the meta-tags or keywords you had hidden within you header and titles. As webmasters started adding ‘non-relevant’ metatags, search engines began getting smarter. They adjusted their process and began looking at ‘third party links’. This worked for a period of time, but again, webmasters abused the process and began setting up “link farms” that were nothing more than thousands of ‘unrelated’ links. In 2005, Google, along with the other search engines, re-wrote their algorithms and processes to ‘punish’ these link farms with negative search placements. Instead, what the search engines have done is built the process to reward sites with 1) many third party links that are on ‘relevant websites’ and 2) reward those sites with ‘active relevant links’ AND ‘relevant content’.

The search engines now crawl each website and look for relevant content and third party links that are viewed as valuable and related to the associated content. In other words, a service provider that has hundreds of links and reference content (ie articles, blogs, commentary, etc) on another site will gain favor in the search engine rankings and placement. The search engines will also produce more valuable results based on ‘key phrases’ that are built into the content rather than only ‘key words’. They do this because consumers that are searching are no longer just putting in a single word for search, they are putting in descriptive phrases. You may find the following online marketing and optimization articles and resources useful.
