Search engine optimisation (SEO) is a part of search engine marketing (SEM) and it requires complete understanding of search algorithms and their workings. Today almost all webmasters are performing SEO methods to improve websites, so that the visibility of the website is improved when a search is performed with a related keyword. If a website is ranking higher for specific search results, it will deliver high volumes of traffic to the website. The traffic delivered through natural search engine queries is high quality traffic and it is also known as organic traffic. Before starting SEO services for a website, you need to fully understand the algorithms used by the particular search engine. Once a website is registered, search engines generally start spidering the site immediately. If a website has unique content and the contents are written, keeping in mind the algorithms, the web pages will probably get indexed more easily and at the same time it should be ensured that these contents are useful for the general public, so more and more visitors come to the pages again and again. Search engine optimisation can require changes in web design, source coding and regular updates to fresh and unique contnet. The most advanced search engines use crawlers for finding web pages that meet their algorithms criteria. These search engines include Google and Yahoo, however Yahoo also has paid inclusion that guarantees crawling and page indexing of the website for a fixed fee or a fixed amount per click. Yahoo has a paid inclusion program however it is still not preferred by many advertisers. Google does not have any such program so far, however Google sitemaps allows free submission of XML type feed for indexing those web pages which are not automatically indexed. Search engine optimisation is a process to rank high on search engines and attract more organic traffic to your website; however it is more difficult and confusing. To increase the visibility of your website, you should have processes in place which will include such things as updating the actual design and coding of your website to standards such as W3C, analysis of relevant keywords for your site, professionaly-written content and good meta tags. SEO demands unique content, so you should ensure that you keep content regularly updated so that search engines crawl the site more frequently. To stand a chance against your competition, you should follow the search engines guidelines on what to do and what not to do, to get listed as high as possible. Robots.txt files are the first file crawled by search engine crawlers and after parsing it, the search engine crawler follows the instructions provided there. SEO experts have to work hard to not only keep up with the ever-changing search engine algorithms, but also to ensure that the site is ranked on the first page.
