Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it “ranks”, the more searchers will visit that site.

To fully optimize a web site, you need to optimize its keywords. It’s important that you optimize your keywords so that your audience can find your site. A lightning-fast web site won’t succeed if no one can find it.

How Search Engines Rank Sites
They are based by: Prominence, Frequency, Weight or Density, Proximity, , Placement as well as number of back links.

1. Prominence: Prominence measures how close the keyword appears of the beginning of the sentence. The closer to the beginning your targeted keyword appears, the higher the prominence will be.

2. Frequency: The number of occurrences in the webpage.

3. Density: The ratio of the number of occurrences of a particular keyword or phrase to the total number of words in a page.

4. Proximity: Measures the closeness between two keywords.

5. Placement: Refers to the many areas on a web page that a search engine looks for data, and includes the page title, heading, body text as well as link text and comment tags.

6. Back Links: They refer to incoming links to a website or web page. The number of back links is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page.
