Key Concepts
Search engine optimization (SEO) involves designing, writing, and coding a
website in a way that helps to improve the volume and quality of traffic to
your website from people using search engines. These “free,” “organic,” or
“natural” rankings on the various search engines can be influenced, but not
controlled, by effective SEO techniques. Websites that have higher rankings
(i.e. presented higher in the search results) are identified to a larger number
of people who will then visit those sites.
The majority of web traffic is driven by major search engines, including
Google, Bing, YouTube, AOL, Yahoo, Duck Duck Go, Ask Jeeves and other
country-specific ones (e.g. Baidu in China).
