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. Typically, the earlier a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.
When creating a site, SEO starts with the HTML. Not only does a website have to have professionally written content that includes its keywords the appropriate number of times, there has to be proper coding of the title and meta tags, along with proper use of alt tags for the images.
Once a website is correctly coded and has Search Engine and customer friendly content then it has to be properly submitted to the search engines, directories, and linked to other sites, all of which makes a site more " popular" and therefore more apt to appear earlier in the major Search Engines.
All of this is a time consuming process and even once a site nears the top of a search engine, constant attention is needed to keep it there. Which is why businesses that are serious about marketing themselves on the internet rely on professional web marketers, leaving them free to focus on what they're good at and the customers good marketing will bring them.
