What in the name of god is Search Engine Optimization?

Posted by Mat Lowrey in web design , marketing , internet

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is the art of taking a website and pushing it up the ranks of the major search engines. SEO first emerged in the late 90s as powerful search engines such as Google were coming to the forefront. Web masters soon realized that in order to succeed online they needed to work to have their websites in the top ranks of search results.

Promoting or "optimizing" a website was at first a simple and direct matter, involving only a few well known factors. The first generation of search engines relied on what are known as metatags to categorize the content of a web page. A metatag, however, did not have to relate in any way to a website's content. This soon resulted in search results that had nothing to do with what the user was looking for. This was a result of both bad design and abuse of the system.

How to choose your domain name

There are a number of issues to consider when creating a domain name for your website. It's important to pay attention to these issues, and to consider them carefully, because your choice of domain name will affect your rank on search engines.

If you are naming a domain for a business that you are starting, you might want to strongly consider using your brand name as the domain's title. A great deal of stress is sometimes placed on obtaining a generic domain name, but in reality it's more important to have a domain that reflects your specific product or brand name. A user and potential customer is more likely to think of specific brand names than to type in some generic term such as "servers.com."
