So, you now have a great website and you are ready to take on the world wide web! The next question you should ask is how will my potential clients find me in the internet? With millions and millions of websites out there, how will yours stand out when a search is done for a service or product you supply? What will get you the deal? The answer is simple... you need to be listed as high on the search results as posible. How do you that? With a good SEO campaign, which can start with optimizing your website or going the extra mile and investing in a whole SEO strategy! In order to get the major search engines to place you at the top of their rankings, you have to get your web pages noticed, and indexed. The search engines send out spiders, or crawlers, everyday to go to different web sites. When a spider is crawling through a web site and sees a link to another site, it automatically follows the link that has been created. When the crawler arrives to the new site it crawls over the web pages to see what the content is. Then it reports to the search engine that it has located a link on page x, that leads to page y. Now in order to get real recognition, all your links need to come from sites that are relevant to material on your site. Every time the spiders find a link from a relevant site, that leads back to you, the search engines consider you to have gotten a “popularity vote”. The more popular the search engines think your pages are, then the closer to the top of the rankings they will place your web site.
