These days, the internet plays a vital role in helping surfers find just about anything and the first thought is often "let's check on Google"! Thus if a website is not optimized for search engines then the purpose of having a website gets defeated because internet users will never be able to find it while searching on search engines.

If your objective is to target the global market, then optimizing your website using SEO is the solution, so the search engines find you and display you at the top of the search results! SEO is one of the best ways to reach your market. Below are some figures from an article published on internet:-

• 87% of all people who use search engines visit a site on the first page of results.
• 91% of Internet users use search engines

SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to search engines and improves the chances of site being found by search engines. Therefore having an un-optimized website is pointless also because the search engines may well not find it, therefore there will few visitors to the site, so the site may as well not exist.

Search engines are the key to finding specific information on vast expanse of World Wide Web. Without sophisticated search engines, it would be virtually impossible to locate anything on the Web without knowing a specific URL. As the search engines are getting more and more sophisticated they are also making there algorithms for ranking websites stronger. The reason they are doing is to be able to give the most appropriate result to the user searching the internet.

Now, to make a website popular quickly, people started using a "cheat" called "black hat" to easily get a good ranking in the search engine results. However the advanced and strong algorithms of the search engines have put a stop to the use of "black hat" and at the same time de-rated such websites known to have used the technique. Search Engines (Google being the most popular one) say that your website should gradually grow and chosen keywords for which the website will be optimized should not just match with the META tags but should also be related to the content. Also the other websites your website gets back links from should be related to your business. How does Google check all this? Every Search engine uses robot programs to crawl the website submitted for listing. They create and maintain a database storing all the information about the site and from time to time these robots revisit the website to keep a track of changes being made. They will also check the relevance of all back linking.
