What is Search Engine Optimisation/SEO?
Invention Development Advice - Internet Marketing
Search engines help people find information on the internet that is relevant to the keywords or keyword phrases they have used in their search. To do this, search engines rely on programs called 'spiders', or 'robots'. The search engine sends out a spider to a particular web page. It reads the META data and content found on that page and then follows links to the other pages within the site to read those pages. This information is collected in an index, or catalogue, with some search engines indexing the whole site and others indexing only the main page.

Nearly all online consumers find products and services they are seeking through a search engine or directory. Whether that is Google, Bing, Yahoo! or any of the available search indexes; it is of paramount importance that your website is found. Appearing in the top results of the indexed search listings for keywords related to your offering, can deliver targeted traffic to your website at absolutely no cost.

When a search engine reads over your web pages it lists your optimised website under search terms relevant to your business or your company. Your website should be developed with code valid to W3C standards and regulations, and with META data written which is most likely to be used by your targeted audiences, and optimized to its fullest. Search engine optimisation is the preparation of website pages and involves a number of factors, including page layout, URL structure, META tags and strategic positioning of keywords in the content.
