Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines.[1] SEO targets unpaid traffic rather than direct traffic or paid traffic. Unpaid traffic may originate from different kinds of searches, including image search, video search, academic search, news search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

History

Website owners recognized the value of a high ranking and visibility in search engine results, creating an opportunity for both white hat and black hat SEO practitioners.[2] According to industry analyst Danny Sullivan, the phrase "search engine optimization" probably came into use in 1997. Sullivan credits Bruce Clay as one of the first people to popularize the term.


Different Types of SEO

On-page SEO refers to the optimization of a website’s content and structure in order to improve its ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs). This includes things like optimizing title tags, Meta descriptions, and header tags. Off-page SEO, on the other hand, refers to the optimization of a website’s external factors in order to improve its ranking in SERPs. This includes things like link building and social media engagement. Technical SEO is a bit more complex than on-page and off-page SEO. Technical SEO refers to the optimization of a website s code (e.g., HTML, CSS) in order to improve its ranking in SERPs. As you can see, there are three different types of SEO and they all have their own set of best practices. [3]

Strategy

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, the computer-programmed algorithms that dictate search engine behavior, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines, and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience.[4] SEO is performed because a website will receive more visitors from a search engine when websites rank higher on the search engine results page (SERP). These visitors can then potentially be converted into customers.[5]

International Market

Optimization techniques are highly tuned to the dominant search engines in the target market.[6] The search engines' market shares vary from market to market, as does competition. Successful search optimization for international markets may require professional translation of web pages, registration of a domain name with a top level domain in the target market, and web hosting that provides a local IP address. Otherwise, the fundamental elements of search optimization are essentially the same, regardless of language.[7]
