Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

There is a common misconception by most new website owners, that once their website is live to the world, it will automatically receive hundreds, if not thousands of visitors to their website. This could not be further from the truth. In reality, their new website is like a tiny pebble at the bottom of the deepest depths of the ocean, among millions of other pebbles, and larger rocks.
The single most cost-effective web-marketing practice is to optimize your website for search engines.
So you might be saying to yourself, "What does optimize your website for search engines mean, exactly?" Well, when a person types a search term into Google or Yahoo for example, the search engine delivers a list of websites, ranked by relevance to the word that was entered. Your goal as a web-marketer is to have your website rank as high as possible when potential customers are searching for products or services that your website delivers. The higher placed your website is among the search result rankings, the easier it will be for customers to locate your products and services.
