Search Engine Optimization - What Is SEO?
Understanding The Ins And Outs Of SEO
You just got to love some of those terms that actually make no sense what so ever. By now everyone has at least heard the term Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing, but what does it really mean?
99.9% Pure Search Engine Optimization English
The English language is filled with funny keyword terms that deify logic.
Take for example the school teacher. Everyone says "she's a school teacher" but come on really, how many teachers teach a school? Now, since my wife is of the profession of teacher, I have to admit that I have used the wrong term at least on several occasions; that is, until she gave me a school lecture. Oops, I did it again...
Even the online dictionaries get it wrong. Here is the definition for schoolteacher. "One who teaches or instructs a school." Yea right. I can see my wife talking to the walls, instructing them to stand straight and tall.
It seems as though everyone is guilty of using Internet search engine terms that are not very clear. Google has a section on their site for Information For Webmasters that talks about a Search Engine Optimizer. First off, the advice Google gives is excellent in regards to describing what a good Search Engine Optimizer should be, along with advice on what to watch out for in the SEO.
SEO is an abbreviation for "search engine optimizer." Many SEOs provide useful services for website owners, from writing copy to giving advice on site architecture and helping to find relevant directories to which a site can be submitted.
Google however seems to have forgotten, they are the Search Engine Optimizers? Ha, Ha. OK, so the online world is using the term to talk about an industry in general.
We really should call it Web Site or Web Page Optimization, or WSO and WPO for short.
Really, the matter of good website optimization is building a site foundation that is search engine friendly and built with your industry specific keywords. Many sites are simply way too heavy on the graphics and not nearly enough of useful content.
Think of a website not in terms of something that has to be there, but it should be thought of in terms of what it can do for the company in the way of an online sales, Internet marketing, and Web advertising tool. Building a search engine friendly website requires more than just going in on a one time basis and optimizing the keywords for a business. This is only a small fraction of the work that is involved with the site. Obtaining quality links, online research, reading, writing, and editing is a continual must in order to build a strong online foundation.
Today's market place requires SEOs to have intimate knowledge of an organization, strategic communications with executive, sales and marketing personal, and IT departments, strategic marketing and advertising practices, good copywriting skills, and most importantly a SEO needs to have good business ethics.
Speaking of ethics, when it comes to your website, do be careful on who you hire to do your website optimization. Optimizing a website with hidden and underhanded tactics, can and has booted websites out of the search results all together. Remember, that the content of a B2B or B2C website is the intellectual property of the business owner, if you are a small business entrepreneur, or of a corporation in the case of larger companies. Would you let just anyone, mess with your intellectual property?
