4. How Search Engines Work
(the simple explanation – from the Yahoo! Style Guide)
• Search engines analyze the words on webpages, especially words that are
repeated or otherwise called out: in boldface, in a headline, in a link, and so on.
The engine records those important words and phrases, the page’s keywords, on
its servers.
• When you type the words you’re looking for into a search box, the engine tries to
match your words with the words from webpages it has analyzed, and it then
delivers a list of matches.
• The engine organizes that list from best to worst, ranking the results according to a
variety of criteria (such as how many other sites find a page valuable and link to it).
• People usually click the links on the first page of results, so sites at the top of the
list are more likely to get visitors. And more visitors can mean more page views,
more leads, more sales, more ad revenue, and other business benefits.

7. Why is SEO Necessary?

• Like a physical business location the internet is a maze of competition. If your
website is not visible amongst your competition than searches won’t find it.
• Unlike traditional advertising, SEO is the process of making your website visible to
people looking for exactly what you are offering. Meaning you are not advertising
blindly to people who may or may not be interested in your products or services.
