Organic Search Engine Optimization What it is and why it’s so important.

By Jeff Palmer

Search engine optimization can be broken down into two separate yet intertwined categories. Non-organic or paid search optimization and organic, or unpaid search optimization.

(SERPS)

Successful organic optimization combines technical know-how with persuasive marketing.

Organically optimized web sites contain content that visitors find informative and relevant to their searches. Content is further optimized for search engines by incorporating relevant key phrases or words intorepparttar 127815 site's literature.

It is important to note thatrepparttar 127819 overuse of keywords in a web site can result in a search engine’s indexing software to considering a site as abusing or spammingrepparttar 127820 search engine and can result in that site being removed fromrepparttar 127821 search index.

Generally a key word should appear five to eight times within a site’s editorial content and content should consist of between 200 and 400 words.

2. Site Structure Search engines are somewhat limited inrepparttar 127822 way they can index a web site. Search engine robots or spiders are chiefly concerned with determining two things, what is this web site all about and where should this site show up inrepparttar 127823 search engine results. Oftenrepparttar 127824 way in which a web site is constructed can have negative results in how effective these search spiders are.

It is important to understand how search engine indexing works in order to create web sites which are fine tuned for optimal search results
