SEO—Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization, generally known as SEO, means a series of techniques aimed mainly at improving the ranking of a commercial website in main search engines. It is also considered as a subset of Search Engine Marketing (SEM). SEO is usually classified into two categories - White Hat SEO and Black Hat SEO.

White Hat SEO is the technique that is always approved by almost all search engines. This involves adding more content based on the target keywords and improving website quality. While, on the other hand, Black Hat SEO involves tricks such as cloaking and spamdexing. Black Hatters usually counter the “techniques” used by the Search Engine Optimizers as irrelevant.

SEO concerns itself mainly with the improvement of the number and position of its search results for a list of relevant keywords. It is also applied to increasing the number of visitors to a certain website. SEO is often provided as a stand alone technique or as part of a larger SEM effort, incorporating it into the Design and initial development of a website. Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is significantly high for competitive and high volume search terms. Therefore, SEO is much essential for the high volume search terms. At the same time a significant savings can be achieved once ranking well in the organic search results. Usually, however, the owners of a website decide to adopt SEO technique only when the cost of SEO is less than the cost of advertising.

The goal for SEO differs for different websites. Far ranging optimization strategy is ideal for websites having broad interest such as a Directory. Most owners optimize their websites for a variety of highly specific keywords. An excessive broad optimization may result in the prevention of the progress of marketing strategy because of the generation of a large volume of low quality inquiries. This problem can be reduced reasonably by focusing more on the desirable traffic. Then SEO is rather effective when it plays a role of smart niche marketing, which is a focused and targetable portion of the marketing. It is organic SEO that is the Search Engine Optimization that is done manually without using any Black Hat “techniques”, underhanded “techniques”, and automated scripting. So this is the purest form of SEO.

It is much important to deeply understand the kinds of search engines and their general concepts for the use of effective SEO techniques. Each page of the search result is usually ranked according to relevancy, practicability, popularity and some other factors. The website pages are, theoretically, more likely to appear at the top of the listings as the relevancy of the page increases. Search engines usually use some automated software to judge the relevancy of the page.

The basic SEO components mainly come under two categories - on page and off page optimization techniques. The on page SEO involves some important factors such as keyword inclusion, content optimization, and page structure. For off page optimization, Inbound Links is the main factor. Different Search Engine Optimizers usually provide the varying information on which factors are most appropriate to gain the higher rankings. This wide difference in opinion is because of the fact that nobody is certain about the algorithm criteria.
