SEO is already an integral part of the internet. SEO stands simply for search engine optimization, where a team is dedicated in the promotion of a website in the rankings of a specific search engine. The most common search engine where SEO is done is Google, being the largest search engine in existence as of today. In terms of market dominance, Google’s algorithm is the one being exploited and used the most as the basis of most search engine optimizers to raise the rankings of their website. Google is used by almost every internet user in the world. It is the most reliable search engine when it comes to searching for answers to questions or looking for relevant information regarding a particular topic. Users of the search engine usually type in words relevant to their search and the engine itself is the one that does the dirty job of scouring the internet for websites which is most relevant to the keyword entered by the user.
Keywords are the heart and soul of SEO. Basic search engine optimization methods are usually rooted with the strategic use of keywords. Strategic because overuse of keywords can cause the downfall of a website from the search engine rankings due to penalization done by Google or any other search engine for that matter. Penalization occurs because some search engines have the capacity to check the legitimacy of the website through the structure of the keywords and the websites linked to it. It is very important for SEO experts to structure their site in an organic and natural manner; otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of information incredulity, unreliability, and even the presence of dangerous files within the site (like viruses etc.). This method of security done by search engines are brought by the rise of black hat SEO’s during the early 2000’s when many websites abused the dynamics of search engine algorithms and hereby destroying the integrity of the system by burying legitimate website into internet obscurity.
The job of the SEO therefore is to be able to use his skills to become an artist of website promotion. Why an artist, because search engine optimization is a job that requires tremendous skill and patience to execute fully. Without these characteristics, it will be very difficult for the person to be able to rise from the tremendous competition of the millions and millions of websites in the internet clamoring for search engine superiority.
